Â
Students learn about different types of genetic mutations, including substitutions, deletions and point mutations and about various techniques used to detect genetic mutations.
Â
The kit contains all the reagents to screen simulated clinical samples for a mutant gene, using both the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction digestion mapping.Â
Â
Students conduct a simple clinical diagnostic experiment in order to identify a diseased patient.
Â
Applications
- Understand detection and analysis of genetic mutations.
- Carry out a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify DNA source.
- Screen amplified DNA using restriction mapping with restriction enzymes.
