BISC110/F09:Series2

Series 3- To taste or not to taste

In this series of three weeks of experiments you will learn:

1. 
   About SNPs and how they are analyzed.
2. 
   How to isolate DNA from your own cells.
3. 
   How to use PCR to amplify a region of your PTC gene which contains a SNP.
   1. 
      How to use restriction enzyme digestion and agarose gel electrophoresis to identify the two most common variants in the PTC gene.
   2. 
      How your own genotype and phenotype at the PTC locus correlate.
