Population Genetics of the Alu Insertion on the PV92 region of Chromosome 16 Abstract: PCR is a laboratory method used to amplify a small‚ specifically targeted‚ amount of DNA. It has three steps‚ the denaturing of the template DNA‚ the annealing of the primers to the DNA templates and the extension of the new DNA by Taq DNA polymerase. The Alu insert on the PV92 region of chromosome 16 is targeted and its frequency is measured according to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in the Vanier HTK population
