| PCR |
1. A laboratory process that selects a DNA segment from a mixture of DNA chains and rapidly replicates it; used to create a large, readily analyzed sample of a piece of DNA. It is used in DNA fingerprinting and in medical tests to identify diseases from the infectious agent's DNA. 2. As related to HIV-also called RT-PCR-a sensitive laboratory technique that can detect and quantify HIV in a person's blood or lymph nodes. ...
