suitable for the PCR reaction to run correctly. INTRODUCTION Thermus aquaticus (Taq) DNA Polymerase is a bacterium that lives in thermophilic conditions and has been identified as an enzyme able to withstand the protein-denaturing conditions (high temperature) required during PCR (Noronha & Mullins‚ 1992). Why might you not be getting any bands on your PCR? If the Taq DNA polymerase concentration is too low‚ not all DNA fragments will be fully replicated‚ which in turn reveals very faint bands. The optimal

The Ankle Brachial Pressure Index is a test that demonstrates the cardiovascular status of the lower limb. It is a quick‚ noninvasive way to check for risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD). Peripheral artery disease is a condition in which the arteries in the legs or arms are narrowed or blocked. People with peripheral artery disease are at an increased risk of heart attack‚ stroke‚ poor circulation and leg pain. If the foot pulses can be clearly felt then the risk of vascular disease and associated

In order to read DNA‚ it must be sequenced. This sequencing uses electrophoresis‚ a technique that separates sections of DNA that differ by a base. Electrophoresis used to be done manually‚ but was error prone and time consuming. Now‚ automatic sequencing machines are used. A technician begins the process by pouring gel between two glass plates that are set less than half a millimeter apart. After the gel is set up‚ DNA is put into each of the ninety-six lanes. The DNA sections then move through

Eve has the Mitochondrial DNA‚ which is tiny structures found in all human cells‚ which are different from normal DNA cells found in humans with this DNA only woman can pass along or carry through

what part of your DNA really comes from your mom? Or which part comes from your dad? The answers to these questions can easily be found out with DNA Fingerprinting. Created in 1984‚ DNA Fingerprinting has become a major importance to the world by helping find the criminal in a case‚ figuring out who the father is when unknown‚ and finding the identification of an unknown body. DNA Fingerprinting can be taken from simple things like a strand of hair or even a dried bloodstain. DNA is everywhere‚ and

DNA‚ which stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms. The main role of DNA molecules is the long-term storage of information. These nucleic acids consist of long chains if chemical units called nucleotides. Nucleic acids are information storage molecules that provide the directions for building proteins. Described by the DNA testing centre‚ Inc.‚ “DNA is found inside the chromosome

Anne Holt DNA Profiling Introduction: DNA Profiling was authorised in the mid- 1980s. DNA is short for deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA accommodates a genetic code for each organism. DNA profiling is not just used for identifying fingerprints and such‚ it is also used for identifying any type of evidence that has DNA in it. Auspiciously‚ each DNA is unique‚ not even siblings have indistinguishable DNA‚ unless they are identical twins. USES OF TECHNIQUE: DNA profiling is used most often to solve crime

Carbohydrates have two major functions in plants and animals: they serve as fuel and building material. Plants store most of their energy in the form of starch. Starch is a polysaccharide (consisting of several conjoined sugars). Synthesizing starch enables the plant to stockpile surplus glucose‚ and since glucose is a major cellular fuel‚ starch represents stored energy. The sugar can later be withdrawn by hydrolysis‚ which breaks the bonds between monomers. Animals‚ in turn‚ have enzymes that

the quest of determining the three- dimensional structure of DNA‚ they believed that the DNA structure would be great importance. Watson and Crick accomplishment was in some measure built on the work of their contemporary DNA researchers. 1951 Rosalind Franklin x-ray crystallography of the DNA molecule without her know- ledge‚ for instance‚ was a vital step toward discovery. She began to capture pictures of DNA using x-ray diffraction. She also pre- sented her findings in a

M1: DNA • DNA - DNA are the chemical unit for genetic information in most organisms. - DNA are informational macromolecules that are used to store hereditary information that determines functional and structural characteristics of organisms. - In eukaryotes‚ the linear DNA is found primarily in the nucleus of cells. - In prokaryotes (e.g. bacteria)‚ there is one circular loop of double-stranded DNA in cytoplasm. • General Structure of DNA - The structure of DNA as a double helix made up
