purpose:
The reason we did this lab is to learn about our genotype through the alu P-92 PCR locus. We also learned some simple lab skills
Procedure/Materials:
- 0.9% Saline Solution
- Micropipette Tip
- PCR Tubes
- Molds
- Waste Container
- DNA
- Chelex
- Primer Mix
- Water
- Micropipettes tips
- Centrifuge
- Microfuge Tubes
- Agarose
- Gel Chambers
- Load Dye
- Racks
- Master Mix
Results:
My results showed that I was heterozygous. (+/-) I know this because there were two bands visible in my PCR gel.
Conclusion:
This was a very cool lab, because we used our own cells and DNA to find our personal genotype. I enjoyey this lab because everyone had different results, that where specific to for each student. I also learned lots of new lab skills. Perhaps the reason we were assigned this lab was to get our basic micropipette skills mastered. Overall this was a fun lab that helped me gain lots of basic biotechnology tools and skills.
