4. PCR Polymerase Chain
Reaction
a technique used in molecular
biology to amplify a single copy or
a few copies of a segment of DNA
we can make many
copies (millions or
billions) of a particular
region of DNA
6. PCR Polymerase Chain
Reaction
PRIMERS
short nucleic acid sequence that provides a
starting point for DNA synthesis
PRIMERS DESIGN
based on known DNA sequence from
GeneBank Database
PRIMERS LENGTH
18 – 22 bp (less than 18 bp can lead into
mispriming possibility)
11. GEL Electrophoresis
DNA is
negatively
chargewhen placed in an
electrical field,
DNA will migrate
toward the
positive pole
(anode). An
agarose gel is
used to slow the
movement of DNA
and separate by
17. GEL Electrophoresis
Ethidium
Bromide
safer alternatives
to
1.Methylene Blue
2.BioRAD – Bio-safe DNA
Stain
3.Ward’s – Quickview DNA
Stain
4.others
ADVANTAGES
1. Inexpensive
2. Less toxic
3. No UV light
required
4. No Hazardous waste
disposal
DISADVANTAGES
1. Less sensitive
2. More DNA needed on gel
3. Longer staining/destainin
time
