DNA Paternity Testing Simulation, Group Size for 8 Gels

This experiment introduces students to the use of DNA fingerprinting in a simulated paternity determination. A child's DNA fingerprint is compared with his parents. The experiment does not contain human DNA. Learn genetics and molecular biology techniques by solving a hypothetical paternity case Introduce students to restriction enzymes, PCR, and electrophoresis Perform agarose gel electrophoresis to separate differently-sized DNA molecules Load, run, analyze, and size pre-digested PCR samples to determine the biological parents of a childGroup Size:For 8 GelsTime Required:Complete in 45 minutesKit Includes:Instructions, Ready-to-Load QuickStrip DNA Samples, UltraSpec-Agarose, Electrophoresis Buffer (50X), Practice Gel Loading Solution, FlashBlue DNA Stain.All You Need:DNA Electrophoresis, Micropipettes: 5-50 µl (Optional), White Light Box, & Microwave or Hot Plate.Storage:Room Temperature Stable. Storage of Ready-to-Load QuickStrip samples in the Refrigerator is Recommended.
