Resulting PCR products, when sequenced, can characterise a life-form. One high-powered group persuaded NASA with a "Don't fix it if it ain't broke" line and lobbied successfully to use the same method employed for years:get a piece of RNA and amplify it.The group—led by scientists such as Dr Gary Ruvkun at the Department of Genetics in Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, and advised by luminaries such as Dr Norman Pace at the University of Colorado—got money from NASA to build a "PCR machine" that would automatically seek such clues in harsh environments such as those found on Mars.
