Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with own DNA

Students use their own DNA to participate in an authentic investigation on the genetics of sleep and circadian clocks. Use PCR to determine your own genotype at a locus that has been associated with morning vs. evening preference. Complete set including all necessary consumables Consumables can be purchased separately as a kit Ready to use: the DNA samples can be used directly in the PCR with minimal effort Well-documented, simple experiment procedure Sample preparation for PCR Creating a PCR programme on a thermocycler Performing a PCR Sample preparation for analysing the band patterns after gel electrophoresis Sample preparation of own DNA for use in PCR PCR and its laboratory techniques, such as micropipetting Determination of individual sleep preference Genetics of sleep To perform subsequent gel electrophoresis, a gel electrophoresis device is required. We recommend the student set TESS Genetics (15312-88).
