In the second lab session, students generate their own DNA fingerprint through agarose gel electrophoresis and compare their pattern with the rest of the class. This two-day lab can be combined with another experiment or adapted to a one day session with a photo of the gel results sent to the instructor. Each BTL experience is directed by two instructors. A cooperative approach to education is taken and students participate by designing their own experiments and by asking questions which lead to appropriate control experiments. We encourage you to make reservations for your classes as early as possible as we reached our maximum capacity last year.
Times are somewhat flexible and two experiments can be performed in one day.
