inaccuracy in diagram

This picture is not accurate, as it depicts reannealing of strands (eg the original blue strands anneal back together). In PCR, any partner strand is always the newly extended primer from the last extension phase, it doesn't reanneal with an old or different partner strand. -Madeleine

• Description:

English: Schematic drawing of the PCR cycle.

1. Denaturing at 96°C.
2. Annealing at 68°C.
3. Elongation at 72°C (P=Polymerase).
4. The first cycle is complete. The two resulting DNA strands make up the template DNA for the next cycle, thus doubling the amount of DNA duplicated for each new cycle.

Deutsch: Schematische Darstellung des PCR-Zyklus.

1. Denaturalisieren/Schmelzen bei 96 °C.
2. Anlagerung bei 68 °C.
3. Verlängerung bei 72 °C (P=Polymerase).
4. Der erste Zyklus ist beendet.
