Pictures of gels from Restriction mapping lab
Gel 1,
photo 1 - size marker ladder looks slightly better on this one
Gel 1,
photo 2 - restriction bands look slightly better on this one
Gel 2
- I run this gel after class, used a longer and denser gel for better resolution
of smaller fragments of similar size.
This gel also contains a little extra points assignment.
Lanes 1-4 (on the left of the gel) show PCR amplified mini-satellite DNA
(DNA fingerprint) from:
Lane 1 - Suspect #1
Lane 2 - Suspect #2
Lane 3 - Suspect #3
Lane 4 - Evidence (DNA collected at the crime scene).
Who is guilty as charged? Explain what each band means.
