The PCR Song

Muehehehe..this is what I got when I was checking the Blackboard today.


Note from the lecturer :
This is a bit silly and melodramatic, but if you remember the words, you will remember what we had to do before PCR, how to do PCR and what it is used for.

Yes, it is, indeed very melodramatic. Seperti Boyz II Men menyanyikan A Song For Mama, atau the combination of artists who sang Let The Music Heal Your Soul etc..

The PCR Song LYRICS

There was a time when to amplify DNA,
You had to grow tons and tons of tiny cells.
Then along came a guy named Dr. Kary Mullis,
Said you can amplify in vitro just as well.
Just mix your template with a buffer and some primers,
Nucleotides and polymerases, too.
Denaturing, annealing, and extending.
Well it’s amazing what heating and cooling and heating will do.
PCR, when you need to detect mutations.
PCR, when you need to recombine.
PCR, when you need to find out who the daddy is.
PCR, when you need to solve a crime.
(repeat chorus)

I wish almost every subjects/subtopics can be transformed into song. So I don't have to read books. Just listen to the songs..

Yesterday I tried to revise (itu pun sebab the internet was being stupid y'day) and I ended up sleeping! What the hell was that? Terbangun sekejap coz someone called and I continued to sleep until 9am this morning? What the hell hell was that? Takde exam ke? Senang lenggang nampak?? Nak kena bebebebelasah ke? Main internet bleh stay up baca buku tak bleh stay up?
