...DNA Fingerprinting Using Agarose Gel S. Aaron Sowards Bio 122 Lab 04 Brianna Adanitsch Jakob Lester Minhenga Ngijoi 2/21/18 Dr. Chad R. Sethman Abstract DNA fingerprinting is the process of analyzing an individual’s DNA base-pair patterns. The DNA fingerprinting lab involved identifying the suspect using Agarose Gel and Polymerase Chain Reaction. It was found that suspect two s DNA matched the crime scene DNA. This is known because suspect twos DNA traveled the same distance as the crime scene DNA. DNA Fingerprinting Using Agarose Gel Introduction In 1984 Dr. Alex Jeffreys came up with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) fingerprinting, which is also known as DNA profiling or DNA typing. DNA fingerprinting is the analyzing...

...Someone’s Name Bio 488C Lab A Re: Writing Assignment 2: Enterics Report 2/22/2016 Enterics Report The group received the Unknown sample of Patient #2 as well as a description of the illness. The method to identify this unknown organism was an Enteropluri tube. By using the inoculation needle in the Enteropluri tube to sample the organism and draw the sample through the set of agar compartments, multiple culture media are thereby inoculated. Given that this test is used on Enterobacteriaceae all organisms are assumed to be Gram negative and oxidase negative. However, each culture media provides a biochemical test that is used to differentiate and identify the microorganism such as glucose fermentation with or without gas production, lactose fermentation, urea hydrolysis, etc. Each feature is used to differentiate and identify the microorganism in question. While the Enteropluri tube is a useful device, I do not believe it is the most effective method of identification in a modern clinical setting. Possible drawbacks of this device is failing to get a uniform inoculation of each media – as the inoculation needle is drawn through each successive media less and less of the sample is present, meaning the first compartments inoculated may receive more cells which will result in quicker growth, compaired to the final compartments which may receive far fewer cells and result in slower growth and possible false negatives. There is also a concern that the media in each compartment...

...Epidemic Paper Ebola In the late 2014 and early 2015 there was this great outbreak of deadly Ebola in many countries in West Africa. The Ebola virus disease was formerly referred as Ebola hemorrhagic fever. The outbreak has happened in the past, but the recent one was a massive. It proclaimed much life that the west was a no-go zone due to fear of transmission. Due to the collaboration of many world health organizations and non-government organizations the epidemic was controlled and maintained. An epidemic disease is a disease that on outbreak it proclaims many lives in a short period of time before been controlled (Chowell et al. 2015). Ebola, as stated, is caused by a virus pathogen, it a virus is from Filoviridae family which include three main genera: Cuevavirus, Marburgvirus, and Ebolavirus. These are the main viruses responsible for the massive outbreak of Ebola last year in West Africa. For an extensive period of the spell, it is believed that the virus originated from infected animals and transmitted to human through food. Fruits bat of the Pteropodidae family is seen as the carrier of the Ebola virus. The virus was introduced into the human population through close contact with body fluids like blood, saliva, and sweat. From one human to the other the virus is transmitted via direct contact with bodily fluids or material, which had a contact with, infected people (Chowell et al. 2015). The virus is such a deadly to the extent that it resides even in dead bodies...

The seroprevalence of HCV infection among HD ranged from 1.9% to 80% in reports published since 1999. The main risk factor for HCV acquisition in HD patients seems the length of time on HD. Phylogenetic analysis of HCV viral isolates has suggested nosocomial patient-to-patient transmission of HCV infection among HD patients. Lack of strict adherence to universal precautions by staff and sharing of articles such as multidose drugs might be the main mode of nosocomial HCV spread among HD patients. Currently, there are several dilemmas on the management of these patients: should HCV-RNA testing be included in the routine screening of HD population for HCV infection?; does periodic serum alanine aminotransferase testing have a role in screening HD patients for HCV infection?; can dialysis really 'save' the liver of HCV-infected...

...Coccioidiodal Mycosis Coccioidiodal Mycosis According to Fauci et al., fungal infections are classified into categories based on anatomic location and epidemiology. The most frequent anatomic categories are mucocutaneous and deep organ infections. The most common epidemiologic categories are endemic and opportunistic. The endemic mycoses, such as coccidioidomycosis, are infections caused by fungal organisms that are not found in normal human flora and are instead acquired from environmental sources. In contrast, organisms found in normal human microbial flora cause opportunistic infections. Endemic fungal infections are acquired almost exclusively by inhalation of molds in the environment. Soil, dust, and dirt are the natural reservoirs for most of these infections, demonstrated by an increase in cases following dust storms, seismic events, archeological digging, or recreational activities (Fauci et al., 2008). The incidence of endemic fungal infections has risen substantially over the past several decades, especially in geographic locations in which there has been substantial population growth (Fauci et al., 2008). Healthcare providers may be required to recognize and treat an increasing number of severe coccidioidal infections as growth and urbanization to these areas increases. Additionally, a recent study of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in Arizona suggested coccidioidomycosis might be a...

...Major Crime Unit : NH State Police Summer Internship | Heating up: Cold Cases | Meredythe Leonard | | Heating Up: Cold Cases Countless developments in police science have occurred in the past decade or so. Many of these improvements can be seen as small, but imagine the challenges faced by crime scene investigators 50 or more years ago. The law enforcement agencies of the past did not have routine access to the amount information that officials today can gather and analyze from a crime scene. Current day crime scene investigation can range from the downright tedious to the technologically astounding, but they have all greatly impacted how evidence is collected, documented, and analyzed. There are around one hundred unsolved homicides in New Hampshire alone, dating back to the early 1960’s. (Department of Justice, 2015). Evidence from those crimes could quite possibly be the golden ticket in solving the wrongdoing, but with outdated techniques and capabilities, the answer will remain a mystery. If the state makes older evidence testing a priority, cold cases could finally find the justice deserved with the help of current day technology. Throughout the rest of this discussion, the call for new evidence testing in cold cases is examined while highlighting the need and importance for skilled investigators. Determination and patience, in the advancing field of forensic testing, have unlocked numerous cases not only in New Hampshire, but also across the country...

...Eyeless mutation gene located within the second intron of Drosophila melanogaster Justin Lazarus Genetic 300 Abstract The following experiment was conduct over a several week time span to determine and identify the mutation that is causing the eyeless mutation within the Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies. The experiment included genome sequencing and comparison between the Drosophila melanogaster wild type and the Drosophila melanogaster eyeless type. After combining the two different phenotypes. We determined that we were unable to visualize the mutation at a chromosomal level, as both wild-type and eyeless flies looked similar. The experiment involved electrophoresis and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) through which we were able to isolate and amplify the needed DNA eyeless DNA. The difference between the wild-type Drosophila melanogaster and the eyeless Drosophila melanogaster is approximately only 500-nucleotide base pairs. As we see the eyeless phenotype is approximately 3000 base pairs in length while the wild-type phenotype is approximately 2500 nucleotides base pairs in length, a difference of about 500 base pairs. After completing nucleotide sequencing and comparing our data on the blast website, we determined that the eyeless mutation has being interest exons two and three, but more specifically the mutation itself was located within the second intron at base pairs 8264 to 9212.

...LAB REPORT BLOODSTAIN ANALYSIS (http://www.crimescene-forensics.com/images/Blood_Spatter_001B.gif) COURSE: CHM 1107: Introduction to Forensic Science - Professor Ira S. Krull DATE: 10.27.11 INTRODUCTION Blood is a biological fluid found in animals that delivers necessary nutrients and oxygen throughout the body and carries away metabolic waste products. The average adult has a blood volume of roughly 5 liters, comprising of plasma, blood cells and platelets, and it is usually red in color, though not always. The most abundant cells in vertebrate blood are red blood cells, constituting about 45% of whole blood. These cells contain hemoglobin, an iron-containing protein, which distributes oxygen throughout the human body. Blood is circulated around the body through blood vessels by the pumping action of the heart. In humans, blood is pumped from the strong left ventricle of the heart through arteries to peripheral tissues and returns to the right atrium of the heart through the superior vena cava (see Fig 1). It then enters the right ventricle and is pumped through the pulmonary artery to the lungs and returns to the left atrium through the pulmonary veins. Blood then enters the left ventricle to be circulated again. (Fig 1: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e5/Diagram_of_the_human_heart_%28cropped%29.svg/220px-Diagram_of_the_human_heart_%28cropped%29.svg.png) Blood is a type of evidence found most often at violent crime scenes and...

...DNA profiling (also called DNA testing, DNA typing, or genetic fingerprinting) is a technique employed by forensic scientists to assist in the identification of individuals by their respective DNA profiles. DNA profiles are encrypted sets of numbers that reflect a person's DNA makeup, which can also be used as the person's identifier. DNA profiling should not be confused with full genome sequencing.[1] It is used in, for example, parental testing and criminal investigation. Although 99.9% of human DNA sequences are the same in every person, enough of the DNA is different to distinguish one individual from another, unless they are monozygotic twins.[2] DNA profiling uses repetitive ("repeat") sequences that are highly variable,[2] called variable number tandem repeats (VNTR), particularly short tandem repeats (STR)s. VNTRs loci are very similar between closely related humans, but so variable that unrelated individuals are extremely unlikely to have the same VNTRs. The DNA profiling technique was first reported in 1984[3] by Sir Alec Jeffreys at the University of Leicester in England,[4] and is now the basis of several national DNA databases. Dr. Jeffreys's genetic fingerprinting was made commercially available in 1987, when a chemical company, Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), started a blood-testing centre in England.[5] Contents [hide] 1 DNA profiling process 1.1 RFLP analysis 1.2 PCR analysis 1.3 STR analysis 1.4 AmpFLP ...

...The Whooping Cough: A Rising Epidemic Zion Apple July 16th, 2015 Course #498 Capstone The Whooping Cough: A Rising Epidemic Zion Apple July 16th, 2015 Course #498 Capstone Abstract This research paper informs you about the disease pertussis or whooping cough as others may call it. This disease has been around for a very long time and even though there has been a vaccine for over 50 years, this disease seems to still be a problem. Experts are always working around the clock to find new and improved vaccines to rid the world of the pertussis bacteria. In the first section of the text the author will describe the history of the bacteria that cause the whooping cough and exactly what it is comprised of and the toxins that it carries which make the bacteria so deadly and hard to figure out and treat. The signs and symptoms of this disease are very similar to those of the common cold so many people often mistake it as such and do not seek medical advice until it is too late. The second portion of the text is going to tell you about the recent and past trends of the disease in the United States. The numbers are unpredictable and no one can seem to put a finger on the actual reason why this is, there are a few opinions however. There are a few new vaccines that have been introduced to the world and the hopes are that they will be as helpful as the old vaccine that was given over 50 years ago. “Whooping cough affects approximately 48.5 million people every year, of...

...1)Introduction; Crime today is at an extreme high. However, forensic science has been there to help solve every crime committed Forensic science is the scientific method of gathering and examining information about the past. The word forensic comes from the Latin forēnsis, meaning "of or before the forum. The word forensic basically means the key to solve a crime.This is the technology used to help forensic teams to analyze and solve crimes.- This is especially important in law enforcement where forensics is done in relation to criminal or civil law,[1] but forensics are also carried out in other fields, such as astronomy, archaeology, biology and geology to investigate ancient times. Forensic Science is used to Identify Criminals Rape, murder, theft, and other crimes almost always leave a devastating mark on the victim. . In modern forensic science, the crime laboratories include photography section, Evidence storage section, identification section, chemistry section, General examination section, Fire arms section, instrument section and crime scene search section. 2)Origins of forensic science: In 16th-century Europe, medical practitioners in army and university settings began to gather information on the cause and manner of death. Ambroise Paré, a French army surgeon, systematically studied the effects of violent death on internal organs.[9][10] Two Italian surgeons, Fortunato Fidelis and Paolo Zacchia, laid the foundation...
