The PCR Song

A new marketing strategy? I admit it is funny - PCR, when you need to find out who the daddy is.

But, uh... can this really help Bio-Rad selling more PCR machines???



The PCR Song
There was a time when to amplify DNA,\ You had to grow tons and tons of tiny cells. \ Then along came a guy named Dr. Kary Mullis,\ Said you can amplify in vitro just as well. \ Just mix your template with a buffer and some primers,\ Nucleotides and polymerases, too. \ Denaturing, annealing, and extending. \ Well it’s amazing what heating and cooling and heating will do. \ PCR, when you need to detect mutations. \ PCR, when you need to recombine. \ PCR, when you need to find out who the daddy is. \ PCR, when you need to solve a crime.
(repeat chorus)

Yeah, and people said it is mimicing the MV of "We are the world"

Here is the MV:

It is an old MV; at that time, Michael Jackson still owned a normal face.
