Primers anneal to a template during a lower-temperature step in this technique, which was developed by Kary Mullis and which uses a special heat-resistant polymerase called Taq in order to extend DNA strands.
The fidelity of this process can be increased by using Pfx or Pfu instead of one more typical reagent. More specific types of this are called its "nested" and "touchdown" varieties, and the LATE modification made its asymmetric type more efficient. Cations such as magnesium are used to stabilize the product of this process, which is created from (*) dNTPs. Primers anneal to a template during a lower-temperature step in this technique, which was developed by Kary Mullis and which uses a special heat-resistant polymerase called Taq in order to extend DNA strands. For 10 points, name this laboratory technique used to create DNA ex vivo.
