DNA extraction lab 1. A number of steps are required to isolate DNA from cellular content. Describe what happens at each step‚ and why it acts to separate the parts of the cell. The steps include a) breaking cell open to release the DNA; b) separating the DNA from cellar materials and proteins; c) using alcohol to precipitate the DNA; d) cleaning the DNA; e) confirming the presence of the DNA. a) Breaking cell open to release the DNA: the cells are separated from each other by physical means such

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
