BMS1062 Lecture Notes - Lecture 22: Electroporation, Sanger Sequencing, Embryonic Stem Cell
Document Summary
Pcr -> used to obtain a genomic or cdna clone can be used in forensic science. Where short repeated sequences of variable length is useful for identification known as vntr ( variable number of tandem repeat) Individuals usually inherit a different variant from each parent two unrelated individuals usually do not share same pair of sequences. ^example of how pcr is used in forensic science, with variants in vntrs are used for identification. Dna sequencing large volume of dna can be sequenced using a dideoxy chain termination method dideoxyribonucleotides are derivatives of the normal deoxyribonucleotide with one crucial difference that is the absence of a oh group on the 3 carbon. Sequencing (dideoxy method) to determine a complete sequence, dsdna is melted and one of the strands is used for sequencing. 4 different ddntps are used in 4 separate dna synthesis reactions.
