What are the similarities between isothermal amplification and PCR?

Isothermal amplification and PCR (polymerase chain reaction) are two types of nucleic acid amplification technologies (NAATs). Both use strand-displacing DNA polymerases to amplify specific regions of DNA, making multiple copies of the target sequence. Both PCR and isothermal amplification have numerous applications in various fields, including research, clinical diagnostics, forensics, and biotechnology.
