RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY * It is a technology that allows DNA to be produced via artificial means. * It is the joining together of DNA molecules from two different species that are inserted into a host organism to produce new genetic combinations that are of value to science‚ medicine‚ agriculture‚ and industry. * Since the focus of all genetics is the gene‚ the fundamental goal of laboratory geneticists is to isolate‚ characterize‚ and manipulate genes. Although it is relatively

The introduction of the microscope as a tool for the biologist brought about a complete reappraisal of the micro- composition of biological tissues‚ organisms and cells. In the infancy of its application to organic materials‚ it was the implement of anatomists and histologists in particular‚ where previously unimagined structures in cells were revealed. More recent developments in biological specimen preparation have come from biochemists and physicists who have used the microscope to examine cells

DNA Aim This practical procedure allows you to amplify a 460 basepair fragment of DNA from within the control region of the mitochondrial genome. This can be done using three water baths or‚ if one is available‚ a thermal cycler (PCR machine). After it has been amplified‚ the DNA is run on an electrophoresis gel. Note: This method has been adapted from one developed by the Dolan DNA Learning Center at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. More details are available from the DNA Learning Center’s

DNA databases In 1992‚ The United States‚ Federal Bureau of Investigation funded the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS). It is a computer system that stores DNA profiles created by federal‚ state‚ and local crime laboratories in the United States‚ with the ability to search the database in its entirety; it also helps agencies identify suspects of crime. The origin of CODIS is attributed to the Scientific Working groups (SWG) that began in the late 80’s. SWG was backed by the FBI Laboratory which

instances of how our knowledge of DNA has changed life in our day. Give one positive and one negative application of that knowledge and defend your answer. According to Kenneth Saladin‚ deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is “a long threadlike molecule with a uniform diameter of 2mm‚ although its length varies greatly from the smallest to the largest chromosomes.” What does this mean? Basically‚ it is a long string that contains a person’s genetic information. DNA has been studied overtime and it

procedure for extracting DNA‚ collecting DNA samples‚ and to observe the physical characteristics of DNA Background: The wild strawberry is a diploid because it only has two sets of chromosomes. While the grocery store kind is an octoploidy because it has eight sets of chromosomes. The reason we chose the grocery store strawberry is because we’d be able to extract more DNA. Ripe strawberries make enzymes which help break down the cell walls making it easier to extract the DNA. We will be using a solution

The purpose of the DNA extraction lab was not only to inform students on how DNA is present in humans and all organisms‚ but to also educate them on how DNA can be extracted using common household materials. Also‚ the lab was very efficient as it introduced the students to extracting their own DNA found on their cheek cells as well as letting them take an observation on how DNA appears or how it is formed. Additionally‚ students were instructed through a very clear and simple procedure‚ which guided
