A member asked:
Can you tell me how i could introduce a mutation in my favorite gene using a pcr technique?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You cannot: You cannot mutate a given genes by PCR or any other method. Radiation and chemicals will induce mutations in some cells but the process is random and uncontrolled.
