The use of computers to plan and run experiments, and to collect, manage, store, distribute, and analyze data. Physical Map A map showing the location of genes and markers on a chromosome. A single-stranded DNA segment used to detect a complementary base sequence for diagnosis, mapping, or cloning. The order of bases or other elements along a line. We encourage classes to conduct experiments and demonstrations to support their understand of the Human Genome Project.
Similar experiments are available from other suppliers.
Kits include complete instructions, background information, study questions, and materials when necessary. This dry lab explains methods of DNA sequencing and analysis. Autoradiograms of DNA sequences are provided for identification of a mutated nucleotide. This experiment demonstrates the physical nature of high molecular weight DNA and the process of DNA purification by spooling on a glass rod. In this experiment, the mapping of specific restriction enzyme sites is obtained by electrophoresis.
