1
2005-2006 LAB 6 DNA FINGERPRINTING
2
BUILD the GEL FRAME 2005-2006 Position comb and lock in place in side slots
3
2005-2006 Let it sit undisturbed until it cools and solidifies Remove comb by pulling STRAIGHT UP Carefully remove ends
4
Place rack containing gel in tank Add buffer to cover gel Load samples in wells Place lid on tank Connect electrodes Turn on current Watch for bubbles 2005-2006 http://www.rapidonline.com/netalogue/zoomed/Large/M079061W01.jpg
5
2005-2006 Where do we get DNA? REMEMBER WHERE DNA IS FOUND Example: not in hair itself (keratin protein), but in follicle cells attached to hair CELL NUCLEI DO ALL CELLS WORK? OTHER PLACES COULD GET CELLS? NEED CELLS In mammals RED BLOOD CELLS have NO NUCLEI Saliva Semen
6
2005-2006 Cut DNA Restriction enzymes restriction endonucleases discovered in 1960s evolved in bacteria to cut up foreign DNA (“restriction”) protection against viruses & other bacteria bacteria protect their own DNA by methylation & by not using the base sequences recognized by the enzymes in their own DNA
7
2005-2006 Gel Electrophoresis Separation of DNA fragments by size DNA is negatively charged moves toward + charge in electrical field agarose gel “swimming through Jello” smaller fragments move faster cut DNA with restriction enzymes
8
2005-2006 Gel Electrophoresis
9
2005-2006
10
Measuring fragment size compare bands to a known “standard” usually lambda phage virus cut with HindIII nice range of sizes with a distinct pattern
11
2005-2006 RFLP Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism differences in DNA between individuals change in DNA sequence affects restriction enzyme “cut” site will create different band pattern
12
2005-2006 Polymorphisms in populations Differences between individuals at the DNA level
