Genetic fingerprint
Basic Course „Genetic Fingerprinting“ by using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).
Amplification of DNA sequences from your own cells and DNA profiling
Target Group: interested people, biologist, teachers, in the field of biology, laboratory medicine, diagnostics, veterinary science
Course description: In the practical part of the fingerprint course you will use your own buccal cells and other cell types to perform a genetic fingerprint. With the help of the Polymerase Chain Reaction a specific region which is highly variable between different individuals you will be amplified and prepared a DNA profile. In this basic course you will learn in theory and practice everything about genetic fingerprinting and Polymerase Chain Reaction. The results of the PCR will be assessed by electrophoresis using agarose gel.
Content:
Structure of the cell, DNA/RNA, Isolation of DNA/RNA, Using Polymerase Chain Reaction for DNA-profiling
