I like doing PCR because PCR amplifies specific sequences 109-fold
within 4 h for cloning, sequencing, and forensic analysis.
I have amplified long (6 kb) fragments of high G+C (72%)
Streptomyces DNA which require careful primer design, hot start,
extremely heat stable, proofreading DNA polymerase, and
optimization of the buffer (Mg++), annealing temperature and
cycling time.
Nested primers were used to improve the specificity, and special
precautions were necessary to prevent template contamination
for forensic applications.
My colleagues are also using RT Q-PCR for …

My excellent colleagues often ask me for advice about PCR.
I like finding the causes of problems because it increases my
understanding, and I like interacting with people.
I have learned about the wider applications of PCR from studying
the literature from the manufacturers of the DNA cyclers and
enzymes, and ….

I am looking forward to having the opportunity of teaching such
an important subject.
I was lucky to have several opportunities to instruct fresh students
about lab techniques.
I try to make the lessons interesting by focusing on what the
students need to know to do their first experiments correctly and
safely.
I also learned that it is always necessary to confirm that the
students understand the lesson correctly, and that they have
opportunities to practice what they have learned.
