給所有分子生物學家，我們也有一首歌了—PCR Song

歌詞如下：
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."

這是一家生物儀器公司BioRad廣告他們PCR（Polymerase Chain Reaction）機的廣告歌，唱法和“歌星“都模仿當年的“We are the World“，相信所有知道PCR是什麼或是常做PCR的人都會跟我一樣從頭笑到尾。最愛的一句歌詞，是“PCR, when you need to find out who the daddy is.“。真是太經典了！在此將這首歌獻給每天與PCR奮戰，不管是RT-PCR或是Real-time PCR，的所有Lab Animal們，終於有一首屬於我們的歌了啊！至於不知道PCR是何物的朋友們，請原諒我聽到到首歌興奮的心情。因為不想在此開門生物課，就煩請大家向Google大神請教囉（其實簡言之，它的應用就在歌詞中）！
