Lab 8: Polymerase Chain Reaction Introduction: Polymerase Chain Reaction is based on the ability of DNA polymerase to symthesize new strand of DNA complementary to the offered template strand. It is a technique used to amplify a single or few copies of a piece of DNA across several orders of magnitude generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence. This lab will be used to determine how many copies and how far a particular piece of DNA migrates and generates. Materials

Polymerase Chain reaction (PCR) Name of student Name of Institution Abstract Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is greatly used in molecular genetics. It entails amplification of a single DNA strand into millions of similar DNA fragments. It involves three stages in each cycle. It is repeated to about 30 cycles. This method is vital as it is used in various processes such molecular identification, genetic

The polymerase chain reaction is a laboratory process in which a specific sequence of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is amplified producing many copies of the specific DNA sequence. However, their must be components such as (DNA template, primers, DNA polymerase, deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates (dNTP’s), buffer solution, and magnesium chloride salt solution) are required to carry out the process which undergoes through three major stages to make the copies of DNA segment. First stage is denaturation

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

POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION (PCR) PCR stands for the Polymerase Chain Reaction and was developed in 1987 by Kary Mullis (which won him a Nobel Prize) and associates. With this technique it is possible to make virtually unlimited copies of a single DNA molecule even though it is initially present in a mixture containing many different DNA molecules. It is used to amplify a specific DNA (target) sequence lying between known positions (flanks) on a double-stranded (ds) DNA molecule. The polymerase chain

Technologies Problem 4 – Ask for More Protocol Background: DNA was isolated from the fluorescing bacteria. For subsequent cloning steps, additional copies of the gene responsible for the fluorescence are needed. Perform the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and analyze the PCR reactions via agarose gel electrophoresis. NOTE: Read and all the instructions carefully before starting your experiment. Facilitators will guide you on the use of PCR machine and agarose gel electrophoresis. Be cautious when

Part 1 - Sample Preparation The key to a successful identification is to start with a "good" sample. Many pathogenic bacteria do not grow well on solid culture medium, making identification by traditional means difficult. (Why?) Even poorly growing bacterial cultures, however, can be identified with the methods used in this lab. In this lab, you will act as a pathologist or perhaps a pathology lab technician at a well-equipped research hospital. Your task is to identify a bacterial sample received
