DNA is broken down into its constituents nucleotides and the nucleotides are then run on a gel and purified with a laserarrow_forwardExplain why DNA ladders are usually included during gel electrophoresis. One aspect of PCR that can be modified is the annealing temperature. In general, higher annealing temperatures show more specificity towards a single template, whereas lower annealing temperatures show less specificity and may bind to multiple regions throughout the genome. Discuss how using an annealing temperature that is too high or too low might influence the results of a PCR assay (and gel electrophoresis results) such as the one used in this study.arrow_forwardPCR is a molecular biology technique where template DNA is amplified using a primer and oligonucleotides. The reaction is catalyzed by a thermostable DNA polymerase and in a particular reaction, the template strands are denatured at 95˚C. For strand hybridization, the melting temperature is 55˚C. What do you predict about the average duration of H bonds at the high temperature in comparison to the low temperature?arrow_forward
- The figure below shows the recognition sequences and cleavage positions of three restriction enzymes.You plan to ligate DNA from two different sources. The target DNA is digested with BamHI,and the insert DNA is digested with BglII, and the resulting fragments mixed and incubatedwith DNA ligase. a) Write out the sequence (in double-stranded format) of the longest insert fragment that will result after BglII digestion, ensure the nature of the overhangs is clear.b) Write out the sequence (in double-stranded format) of the ligation product, with the insert fragment joined into the BamHI site of the target DNA. Use black for target sequences, and blue for insert sequences. c) Assume the ligation reaction was successful and you have generated a recombinant DNAmolecule. Which of the three enzymes listed above can be used to excise the insert DNAfrom the target? Motivate your answer.arrow_forwardYou used agarose gel electrophoresis to separate DNA fragments of different size and the experiment worked well. However, you wanted to re run the experiment but this time you made the gel with a higher percentage of Agarose. How might this affect your results compared to the first run? a. There would be no difference between the runs since it is the current, not the agarose that causes migration. b. The higher concentration of agarose would cause the DNA to break apart. c. You can't predict how the concetration of agarose would affect migration. d. The DNA fragments would migrate further down the gel than they did the first time. e. The DNA fragments wouldn't migrate as far down the gel as they did the first time.arrow_forwardTranscriptome analysis involves two separate methodologies: gene expression and RNA seq analyses.

When performing classical Sanger or "dideoxy" sequencing, you set up 4 parallel reactions per template to be sequenced from a specific primer, with each of the four reactions containing a different dideoxynucleotide, and then the four reactions were run in a separate, adjacent lanes on a gel. Why couldn't you combine all 4 dideoxynucleotides with the primer and the template and do the whole reaction in one tube, and then run the set of fragments produced by the reaction mixture on a single lane in an acrylamide gel? B. When doing automated sequencing, on the other hand, all 4 dideoxynucleotides are added to the same sequencing reaction, and run together in a single capillary gel. What's the difference - why can an automated sequencing reaction be done with all 4 dideoxynucleotides mixed together and all the resulting fragments run together, but not a conventional sequencing reaction?arrow_forwardSuppose that you want to sequence the following DNA fragment: 5′–TCCCGGGAAA-primer site–3′ You first use PCR to amplify the fragment, so that there is sufficient DNA for sequencing. You carry out dideoxy sequencing and then separate the products of the sequencing reactions by gel electrophoresis.
