	What is PCR?
		In the 1980s, Kary Mullis at Cetus Corporation conceived of a way to start and stop a polymerase's action at specific points along a single strand of DNA.
		Mullis also realized that by harnessing this component of molecular reproduction technology, the target DNA could be exponentially amplified.
		Further, although Mullis claims that PCR was the solution to a long-standing problem, he never says what that problem was.

	Scientist says HIV not cause of AIDS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Mullis said that if a person's immune system was infected by a large collection of dormant retroviruses and if that group of cells divide and multiply, the dormant retrovirus will be copied.
		Mullis' response was that the cause of AIDS might not even be a virus, and that he was examining it in a different way than it has been now.
		Mullis also responded to questions asked of him about the O.J. Simpson trial, where he will be on the stand as a defense witness in a couple of months, and about the autobiography that he is currently writing.
