This procedure uses a device containing a Peltier sensor in order to maintain the temperature ofthe sample. An "overlap" version of this procedure is used to join two halves of a construct via alinker, and this procedure is also the main step of site-directed mutagenesis. An antibody to the mainreagent of this procedure is added to the buffer in its "hot-start" variant. DMSO is used in thisprocedure to work with (*) GC-rich templates. The buffer in this procedure contains magnesium. Aprotein from Thermus aquaticus is commonly used in this procedure; that protein has evolved to survive inhot springs, and is called Taq polymerase. For 10 points, name this procedure used to amplify segments ofDNA, invented by Kary Mullis.
