Series 2- To Taste Or Not To Taste
In this three week series of experiments you will learn:
- About SNPs and how they are analyzed.
- How to isolate DNA from your own cells.
- How to use PCR to amplify a region of your PTC gene which contains a SNP.
- How to use restriction enzymes and gel electrophoresis to identify the two most common PTC gene variants.
- How your own genotype and phenotype at the PTC locus correlate.
