Abstract
Sample preparation for PCR can be as simple and rapid as adding cells directly to the PCR.1 Things are not quite this easy, however, for all samples and applications of PCR. In this chapter, I will discuss what determines the amount of preparation necessary and present example protocols for the rapid preparation for PCR of DNA and RNA from various sources.
