30. 1) Blood sample. 2) DNA is extracted from blood cells. 3) DNA is cut into
fragments by a restriction enzyme. 4) The DNA fragments are separated into
bands during electrophoresis in an agarose gel. 5) The DNA band pattern in the gel
is transferred to a nylon membrane. 6) Radioactive DNA probe, designed to
recognise specific DNA sequences, is prepared. 7) Probe DNA binds to the specific
DNA sequences on the membrane. 8) Excess DNA is washed off, but the DNA
pattern is invisible at this stage. 9) X-ray film is placed next to the membrane &
exposed to the radioactive DNA. 10) The developed X-ray shows the pattern of DNA
bands
49. DNA fingerprinting in Argentina to
establish kinship of the
'disappeared', the children, often
born in captivity, of parents
kidnapped and assassinated by the
former military regime there. Here a
geneticist uses a multi-channel
pipette to prepare samples for the
process. A bank of blood samples,
taken from all the potential relatives,
provides the DNA for comparison
with that from the child in question.
Fragments of DNA are seperated
into bands by electrophoresis in an
agarose gel. Every human being
produces a unique pattern of DNA
bands, hence its potential as a kind
of genetic

Professor Ian Wilmut created, the world's first sheep
cloned from an adult sheep cell. The research was
conducted at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh,
Scotland.
