Cover Story: Polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) play a fundamental role in our understanding of the world and are widely employed. The introduction of PCRs into forensic science marked the beginning of a new era of DNA profiling. This era has pushed PCRs to their limits and allowed genetic data to be generated from even trace amounts of DNA. Trace samples contain very small amounts of degraded DNA associated with inhibitory compounds and ions. Despite significant development in the PCR technique since it was first introduced, the challenges of profiling inhibited and degraded samples remain. This review examines the evolution of the PCR from its inception in the 1980s to its current applications in forensic science and discusses the possible future directions for DNA profiling.
