(Oooh) 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. [Chorus] PCR when you need to detect mutation (detect mutation) PCR when you need to recombine (recombine) PCR when you need to find out who the daddy is (who's your daddy?) PCR when you need to solve a crime (solve a crime) [x2 http://practicality.wordpress.com/2009/09/11/video-bio-rad-gtca-song/ GTCA Song Randolph: Six years of graduate school, and look at our boy now. Randolph's Wife: Oh Randolph! Now I remember somebody who wasn't too different from this not too long ago. Enzyme, whatcha doin' today? I said enzyme, want to make DNA? I said enzyme, show me your binding way Let me mix you with some primers Enzyme, time to build a new strand I said enzyme, cause I know that you can I said enzyme, these letters also spell DAN All we need to get things started Is just a little bit of GTCA Is just a little bit of GTCA I can build DNA I can be a big star You're the key to my PCR Thats right I'm talkin' bout GTCA Just a little bit of GTCA I can make some new strands I can view all my bands I can be the best that I can Enzyme, you have come a long way But in my lab, demands are higher today I said enzyme, now its time to go fast We have got to increase throughput Enzyme, I think I found what I need It's an enzyme, it gives me much higher speed It goes so fast, when it builds DNA All we need to get it started Is just a little bit of GTCA Is just a little bit of GTCA I can build DNA I can reach for the stars I can do faster PCR Yeeeeeaaaa-eeee-ehhh
