This laboratory is designed to simulate forensic identification of an individual. Students will use the scientific method to evaluate evidence, formulate a hypothesis, plan and perform their experiment, and analyze their results. In the laboratory, students will use restriction enzymes to cut plasmid DNA and match unknown samples. This lab uses RFLP analysis. We would like to encourage you to book labs for your classes as early as possible as we reached our maximum capacity last year.
Times are somewhat flexible.
Two experiments can be performed in one day.
