Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a variation of the standard PCR technique that allows simultaneous amplification of multiple target DNA sequences within a single reaction. This approach is particularly useful in applications where multiple genetic targets need to be analyzed at once, such as in diagnostic testing, pathogen detection, and genetic research. ### Key Features of Multiplex PCR: 1. **Multiple Primers**: In multiplex PCR, multiple sets of primers are designed to anneal to specific sites on target DNA simultaneously.
