DNA Fingerprinting by Restriction Enzyme Patterns,Group Size for 8 Gels

Basic concepts of DNA fingerprinting are featured in this lab by comparing crime scene DNA with suspect DNAs. Fingerprint patterns are separated by agarose gel electrophoresis and the students determine who may have done-it! Learn about DNA fingerprinting while solving a crime! Introduce the biotechnologies of restriction enzyme digestion, PCR, and electrophoresis Perform agarose gel electrophoresis to separate differently-sized DNA molecules Load, run, and analyze simulated crime scene and suspect samplesGroup Size:For 8 gelsTime Required:Complete in 45 minutesKit Includes:Instructions, Ready-to-Load QuickStrip DNA Samples, UltraSpec-Agarose, Electrophoresis Buffer (50X), Practice Gel Loading Solution, FlashBlue DNA Stain.All You Need:DNA Electrophoresis, Micropipettes: 5-50 µl (Optional), White Light Box, & Microwave or Hot Plate.Storage:Room Temperature Stable.
