A DNA ladder is a solution of DNA molecules of different but known length. In Well 1, the DNA ladder was applied to the gel to set a standard for the rest of the samples. In LoggerPro, after setting an origin, the second step was to set a standard ladder. We standardized the ladder by going from 4 to 5 cm and determining that was 10 milliliters. The next step was to scale the ladder by selecting the 3 brightest points and labeling it 3000,1000,500 in descending order. The estimated size of my…

the components in the products, documenting the processes and results as the research was actively conducted. I am currently interested in developing my knowledge and research abilities in the fields of Virology, Gene Therapy, Biochemistry, Molecular and Cellular Biology, Microbiology, and Immunology. My primary area of interest lies within the study of microorganisms and their ability to cause devastating illness in Eukaryotic organisms. In my academic career, I have always been…

Throughout the previous couple of decades, and as far back as numerous grown-ups can recall, the perspective of gene inheritance has been composed in the four letter dialect of DNA. The American Association for the Advancement of Science said that the hereditary changes and re-combinations have driven most portrayals of how phenotypic qualities are passed on starting with one era then onto the next. Analysts and doctors endeavored to unravel and find the pieces of information that recommended…

DNA analysis by By Condy Kan Introduction Osamu Shimomura and his colleagues successfully discovered and isolated green fluorescent protein (GFP) from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria; GFP consists of a tripeptide, which is Ser-65, Tyr-66, and Gly-67, that forms fluorescence chromophore (1). Fluorescence chromophore, is accountable for its green fluorescence under UV light, helps to identify and determine the cells if the Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (EGFP) gene is expressed or not (2). In…

Professor, I found that in order to identify and distinguish any form of bacteria such as Serratia sp. and Enterobacter sp. a number of assessments should be conducted. Majority of bacteria’s has enzymes allowing it to break down nucleic acids and the bacteria and utilize the resulting nucleotides to produce their own nucleic acids. DNase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes DNA. The existence of DNase entails certain strains/species of bacteria and may be utilized for typing. A DNase assessment is…

When analyzing my DNA sequence I did not yield as much of a high quality sequences as others this may have been due to the fact of poor pipetting into the well or kit manufacturing issues. In order to find the changes that occurred in our DNA our reverse edited sequence was placed into James Licks mtHAP engine found at http://dna.jameslick.com/mthap/. Another search engine found on http://www.mitomap.org/foswiki/bin/view/MITOMASTER/WebHome was used to verify if the previous engine was correct,…

First lane is the protein ladder which is used as a reference and to estimate the size of different proteins. Lane 1 in the green box contains cow serum which shows high mobility since it dyes all the way to the bottom with different bands through the gel. Lane 2 contained one dark band at the bottom of the gel. Lane 3 shows o dark band with low mobility through the gel. Lane 4 shows one band stained with medium mobility through the gel. Sample proteins 1-4 were separated through gel…

It is common to hear reports in the media of crimes that have been solved with theassistance of DNA analysis (Brown, 2006). If enough blood, semen or tissue is foundat a crime scene, forensic laboratories can determine the blood type or tissue type byusing antibodies to detect specific cell surface proteins (Campbell et al, 2006). Thismethod unfortunately requires large amounts of fresh samples and is not a strongsource of evidence as several people have the same blood or tissue type and thus…

Adult height is a polygenetic trait, which means that it is controlled by more than one gene. It is easily measured and highly heritable (h2 ~0.75- 0.9) (Kim, et al., 2010). Final adult height is the result of growth and development processes and has limited contribution from environmental factors (Weedon, et al., 2008). As a result, loci influencing height are compared and contrasted from different races. Genome-wide association (GWA) is a method used to quickly scan markers across genomes…
