title: The future of PCR technology: diversification of technologies and applications.
abstract: The polymerase chain reaction has had a major impact on research in molecular biology, on the human genome project and on the diagnosis of disease. In the future, this powerful technique will be increasingly applied to the study of individual genomic variation and to assess the genetic consequences of ecological and demographic events on past and contemporary populations of many organisms.
