Nov 19-21: DNA Sequencing
November 21, 2007: Students collected data from electropherograms and analyzed it while completing the Internet assignment, “Black, Green, Blue, and Red: The Colors of DNA!” Students used GenBank to search for DNA sequences derived from the electropherograms.
November 20, 2007: Students in period 1 completed the “That BLASTn DNA!” assignment, whereas students in periods 5 and 7 finished the DNA sequencing notes (automated sequencing using fluorescent dyes was discussed).
November 19, 2007: Students in periods 5 and 7 completed the Internet activity called “That BLASTn DNA!” by searching GenBank for the DNA sequences that were derived from autoradiographs. Question of the Day: The sequence data from autorad 4 revealed a mixture of bacterial plasmid and human DNA. What were the scientists doing in their lab? Was it something sinister or is there a more benign explanation?
