Nov 12-16: DNA Sequencing

Posted at 2:27 pm under Daily Class Activities

November 16, 2007:  Mrs. Annee is in Greensboro, NC participating in a pharmacology project sponsored by Duke University.  Students and parents may read a summary of the project in the September 28, 2007 issue of Science (wow!) - the article is posted on Edline.  Biotech students will field-test many of the activities involved in the project. 

Students in periods 1 and 5 will begin watching the video, Designer Babies.  Period 7 students do not have class (PRT). 

November 15, 2007:  Mrs. Annee returned the restriction mapping quizzes to students.  Students in period 1 collected data from autoradiographs, whereas students in periods 5 and 7 used the NCBI database to search for the DNA sequences collected from the autorads.

November 14, 2007:  All students took the restriction mapping quiz.   Students in period 7 finished the Designer Babies video.

November 13, 2007:  Mrs. Annee was not at school today due to the Milken award announcements.  Students in periods 1 and 5 did not meet today (PRT class), whereas students in period 7 began watching the video, Designer Babies.

November 12, 2007:  Mrs. Annee gave students a practice problem in preparation for Wednesday’s restriction mapping quiz.  Students completed the DNA Sequencing (Sanger Method) activity.  Students in periods 5 and 7 also collected data from autoradiographs.

Due to a professional commitment tomorrow, Mrs. Annee will not be at school.  Periods 1 and 5 biotech will not meet (PRT class); however, period 7 biotech will meet as usual.
