1 Biotechnology Gel Electrophoresis

2 Many uses of restriction enzymes…
Now that we can cut DNA with restriction enzymes… we can cut up DNA from different people… or different organisms… and ____________________ why? _______________ medical diagnostics ________________ evolutionary relationships and more…

3 Comparing cut up DNA How do we compare DNA fragments?
________________________ How do we separate DNA fragments? run it through a gelatin ____________________ How does a gel work?

4 “swimming through Jello”
Gel electrophoresis A method of separating DNA in a gelatin-like material using an _____________ field DNA is _______ charged when it’s in an electrical field it moves toward the _____________ side DNA        + “swimming through Jello”

5 “swimming through Jello”
Gel electrophoresis DNA moves in an electrical field… so how does that help you compare DNA fragments? __________ of DNA fragment affects how far it travels ____________ pieces travel farther _________ pieces travel slower & lag behind DNA        + “swimming through Jello”

6 DNA & restriction enzyme
Gel Electrophoresis DNA & restriction enzyme - wells longer fragments power source gel shorter fragments + completed gel

7 fragments of DNA separate out based on size
Running a gel cut DNA with restriction enzymes 1 2 3 Stain DNA ____________ ___________binds to DNA fluoresces under ____ __________

8 DNA fingerprint Why is each person’s DNA pattern different?
______________________________ doesn’t code for _____________ made up of ________________ patterns CAT, GCC, and others each person may have different number of repeats many sites on our 23 chromosomes with different repeat patterns GCTTGTAACGGCCTCATCATCATTCGCCGGCCTACGCTT CGAACATTGCCGGAGTAGTAGTAAGCGGCCGGATGCGAA GCTTGTAACGGCATCATCATCATCATCATCCGGCCTACGCTT CGAACATTGCCGTAGTAGTAGTAGTAGTAGGCCGGATGCGAA

11 Uses: Evolutionary relationships
Comparing ______ samples from different organisms to measure evolutionary relationships turtle snake rat squirrel fruitfly 1 3 2 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 DNA +

12 Uses: Medical diagnostic
Comparing normal allele to ______ allele chromosome with normal allele 1 chromosome with disease-causing allele 2 allele 1 allele 2 DNA Example: test for Huntington’s disease +

13 Uses: Forensics Comparing DNA sample from crime scene with suspects & victim suspects crime scene sample S1 S2 S3 V DNA +

14 DNA fingerprints Comparing blood samples on defendant’s clothing to determine if it belongs to victim __________________

15 RFLP / electrophoresis use in forensics
1st case successfully using DNA evidence 1987 rape case convicting Tommie Lee Andrews “standard” semen sample from rapist blood sample from suspect “standard” How can you compare DNA from blood & from semen? RBC? “standard” semen sample from rapist blood sample from suspect “standard”

16 Electrophoresis use in forensics
Evidence from murder trial Do you think suspect is guilty? blood sample 1 from crime scene blood sample 2 from crime scene blood sample 3 from crime scene “standard” blood sample from suspect OJ Simpson blood sample from victim 1 N Brown blood sample from victim 2 R Goldman “standard”
