The purpose of this experiment is to examine the extraction of the DNA material that was extracted from the Chromosomal DNA from E coli in laboratory 9. DNase is used to help extract the Sugar phosphate backbone of the DNA. DNase should only cleave DNA not RNA but DNase can classify contaminated RNA from chromosomal DNA.

Methods A. preparation :E. coli was used to extract the DNA as instructed in laboratory 9 to use in the experiment on analyzing in this experiment. There was 500 μL of the DNA material extracted from laboratory 9 to use for testing.

B. enzymatic digestion: In this experiment there was a total of 8 tubes prepared with the final volume of 20 μL. Starting with test tube 1, 2, and 4, there was 10μL of water, 10 μL of nucleic acid, and 2 μL of buffer solution (10X) are all added. In test tube 3,5, and 6 there was 5 μL of water, 10μL of nucleic acid, 2μL of buffer and 3 μL of DNase added. Although in test tube 6 the DNase is heated making in inactive. All of the other DNase are active and can consume the DNA present in the test tubes. In test 7 the same content

In this experiment, agarose gel electrophoresis was used in to analysis the DNA that was extracted. The nucleic acid is at PH of 8 which allows the material to move down the electric field. The nucleic acid moves from positive to negative electric field. The ETBR is used to make the nucleic acid visible in the fluorescent light and the binding to the DNA. The “stop buffer” which is EDTA and bromophenol blue. The Bromophenol helped make the progress of making the DNA visible when it is injected in the gel and the EDTA increases the density of the material. The EDTA also helps stoop the DNase reaction If the DNA was fully digested by DNase, it was indicated by the lack of a band. The DNase is was starts the reaction to occur it is the last component added to each test tube that is required

    The purpose of Syber-Safe DNA stain is for the stain to bind to DNA and allow the DNA to glow under UV light. The difference in function between the loading dye and Syber-Safe DNA stain was that the loading dye does not bind to the DNA but tracks the DNA during electrophoresis while the Syber-Safe DNA stain will bind to DNA and will help visualize the DNA under UV light. The purpose of a molecular ladder in gel electrophoresis is to serve as a reference to approximate the size of the unknown DNA molecules through LoggerPro software. The molecular ladder is used to determine unknown DNA fragments by using known DNA fragment size as…

    Describe what would happen if you skipped the step where the developing buffer was added. The developing buffer contains the secondary antibodies that the enzyme is conjugated with and without that it wouldn’t develop right and the results would be inconclusive or “retest” Western Blotting Technique 18. The Western blot technique is used as the confirmatory test for a positive ELISA result because it provides better specificity. How does this technique provide better specificity? The Western blot provides better specificity because it detects antibodies binding…

A procedure in which a small amount of DNA material is immersed in concentrated solution, cesium chloride (CsCl), and soon after placed in centrifuge until the point where equilibrium is achieved is called density-gradient centrifugation. Contrasting techniques involving diffusion and sedimentation form a persisting CsCl concentration gradient. Furthermore, the concentration gradient and pressure of centrifugal force results in increased density.…

In Tube 1, the following was added; 4.4 ml of phosphate buffer, 0.3 ml of DPIP, and 0.3 ml of mitochondrial suspension. In Tube 2, 4.3 ml of phosphate buffer were added along with 0.3 ml of DPIP and 0.3 ml of mitochondrial suspension. Lastly in Tube 3, 4.2 ml of phosphate buffer were poured along with 0.3 ml of DPIP and 0.3 ml of mitochondrial suspension.…

    To make a 12.5% resolving gel, a mixture of 30% acrylamide, 0.8% bisacrylamide, 4X Tris HCl buffer with pH 8.8, DI water, 10% ammonium persulfate, and TEMED. The solution was poured into a gel caster, ethanol was added on top, and it was left alone to polymerize. A 4.5% SDS stacking gel was then prepared by mixing: 30% acrylamide, 0.8% bisacrylamide, 4X Tris HCl buffer with SDS pH 6.8, DI water, 0.25% bromophenol blue, 10% ammonium persulfate, and TEMED. The gel was left to polymerize and the running buffer was prepared similar to the previous step. Following this the protein samples were prepared by calculating the volume of protein needed to add to each sample, by taking the amount of protein given and dividing by the protein concentration found on the table completed in experiment seven (Table 1).…

    This lab requires three main materials, the dyed agarose gel, DNA from each virus, and an electric chamber. The agarose gel will be dyed in order to show the visual effect while in the electric chamber connected to the positive (red cord) and negative (black cord). The chamber is filled with Tris/Borate/EDTA (TBE) buffer solution since the agarose gel is compatible with the buffer solution. The DNA strands will be held in tube samples in the amount of two tubes dedicated to each virus.…

    Introduction The Gram stain is a valuable tool to microbiologists in identifying the cell well composition of prokaryotic species. The underlying process revolves around a series of chemical dyes, and their propensity to bind to peptidoglycan polymers in the cell wall. The results allow scientists to infer properties about the outer coating of an organism and is often the first step in identifying an unknown species. For the purpose of our experiment, the results of the Gram stain will be as follows: Gram positive (G+), where the first dye was able to bind within the cell and hold throughout the process, or Gram negative (G-), where the first dye is not able to bind and the second dye is observed.…

    To prepare the gel, students mixed .3g of agarose and 30mLs of 1X TAE buffer in a 125 ml flask (Penn State Biology 220W Lab Manual, pgs.55-59). The mixture was microwaved and set to cool for 3 minutes. After the cooling process, 1µl of ethidium bromide dye was added to the agarose. The mixture was then poured into the gel caster of the electrophoresis unit. Once the mixture formed a solid gel, 1X TAE buffer was poured over the electrophoresis unit.…

    Certain single nucleotide polymorphisms in the human lactase phlorizin-hydrolase gene have been associated with the ability of certain individuals to constantly digest milk products. These mutations in the lactase gene lead to constitutive expression of lactase, which is then used to break disaccharide lactose into glucose and galactose constantly throughout adulthood as lactase persistence. In particular, past research has shown that some individuals of the African and European descent have been found to have single polymorphisms at the C-14010, G13915, G-13907 base pairs and T-13910, G-220,18 base pairs, respectively. Evolutionary biologists have traced the phenotype of lactase persistence in these African and European populations to the strong selective pressure of animal domestication about 8,000 years ago and have concluded that it resulted from non-homologous DNA sequences. The experiment being proposed is to sequence two subject’s DNA whom exemplify this lactase persistence and compare this sequence to the known DNA of individuals whom are lactose intolerant, and from the same heritage, from a database to see if the single nucleotide polymorphisms are located in the same region of the lactase gene for both subjects.…

    Bioinformatics is a study that focuses on the collection and analysis of biological information using information from sequences of DNA, RNA, and proteins. This field focuses on how to make predictions about biological systems and analyze data to provide more insight on how living organisms function and how its genome relates to its biology. Following the determination of the insulin sequence, Frederick Sanger realized that manually comparing several sequences was impractical (Moody 2004)). Margaret Dayoff composed one of the first protein sequence databases (Dayoff 1965). As more complete genome sequences became available, Sanger pioneered the creation of computer assisted analysis (Sanger 1977).…
