Nicking enzyme amplification reaction

ID: nicking-enzyme-amplification-reaction

The Nicking Enzyme Amplification Reaction (NEAR) is a molecular biology technique used for the amplification of nucleic acids, similar to the more widely known polymerase chain reaction (PCR). NEAR is notable for its use of nicking endonucleases, which are enzymes that introduce single-strand breaks or "nicks" in DNA at specific sequences.
