片刻私語

Bio-Rad網頁看到覺得很有趣，就轉貼過來給大家聽聽
原來PCR也可以寫成一首歌
PCR是聚合酶鏈鎖反應，Polymerase chain reaction的縮寫。

歌詞如下：

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)

原來這首歌是生技公司Bio-Rad製作的，官網在此(點此)。
同樣都是在做研究，外國人總是比較嚴謹卻又富有樂趣，是我們應該多多學習的。
對這首歌有興趣的人可以到官網下載影片及歌詞。
