The figure below shows the polymorphic variability in the twelve attendees at the Workshop. The Society will provide a kit with the thermostable enzyme, PCR primers such as the ones used to generate the polymorphisms shown in the Figure, PCR buffer, FTA Paper and some purified DNA and ready-amplified products. The samples were generated by PCR carried out on buccal cells collected on FTA Paper. The resolution of polyacrylamide gels is better than that achieved on agarose gels. Nonetheless distinct polymorphisms can also be seen on agarose gels.
Some samples show bands in addition to the prominent allelic ones.
These are caused by heteroduplexes formed during re-annealling. Return to the School of Biological Science Homepage.
