A testing technique that can identify the DNA or RNA (ie, the primary genetic material) of a specific organism. This type of test can identify hepatitis C virus RNA in a blood sample, and is the most specific test for hepatitis C infection.

polymerase chain reaction. Technique for amplifying nucleic acids in a thermal cycler. Involves use of forward and reverse primer pairs that start off the reaction. End yield is many orders of magnitude more DNA of the target sequence than one started with. The resulting amplified DNA can then be visualized with stains or radioactive labeling, or sized with fluorescent markers in a sequencer. [See Avise, p. 84, Fig. 3.18, p. 85].
