>Thus, a particular cell mixed in with hundreds of thousands or millions of other different cells, the target is magnified up and out of the starting sample
retarded illiterate technobabble jargon speak
PCR is NOT applied to "cells"
it is applied to a tiny bit of genetic material (DNA or RNA) that is TOO SMALL to sequence
it makes copies of that tiny bit of genetic material until there is a large enough amount to sequence
it is a technique that finds use in genetic research
it was NEVER intended as a screening test, and kary mullis stated this thousands of times
while your post was "correct" in stating PCR is wholly inappropriate as a diagnostic screening test
your JIBBERISH only serves to confuse the already hopelessly illiterate masses
and GIVE AMMUNITION to those that would try to discredit anyone criticizing PCR
pls STFU
