Dr. Kary Mullis first described polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 1983, and won the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1993 for his work performed on PCR. Dr. Mullis considered PCR a concept rather than a technique, but the most important aspect to his concept is that PCR literally can pull out a small piece of DNA from its context and amplify it. PCR may have a relatively recent front on science, but it certainly has brought forth
