Chapter 24, Problem 1EQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
A. The substance attached to the slide, particularly about the number of spots, length of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) fragments and origin of DNA fragments.
B. The substance hybridized to the microarray.
C. The process of detecting hybridization.
Introduction:
A DNA microarray contains a compilation of numerous microscopic spots of DNA such as, DNA chip, gene chip and gene array which are attached to the solid surface. It is used to study gene expression levels and are employed as diagnostic tests for detecting diseases.

If it is not possible to have three bands for one STR region when looking at the DNA from one individual, then how many different STR regions were sampled in the gel electrophoresis simulation to end up with three bands on the gel? Note: there are several correct answers.
You have isolated genomic DNA and plasmid DNA from a bacterial culture. Please answer the following questions:
1. What solution did you use to elute DNA from the silica resin column?
2. What is the function of the chaotropic salt in DNA isolation?
3. Why do we add the chaotropic salt for genomic DNA before lysis and for plasmid isolation we add the salts after the lysis step?
Aside from gel electrophoresis Give another method to quantify DNA. Explain the concept behind this method.
