1.DNA ISOLATION
2.Restriction enzyme digest
3.POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION
(PCR)
PCR:-
 A process used to artificially multiply a chosen piece of
genetic material.
 May also be known as DNA amplification.
 One stand of DNA may yield 230 strands or more.
Uses of PCR-
 DNA sequencing
 Gene cloning
 DNA profiling
 Transformation
 Making artificial genes
DNA selection
 DNA is selected either as a complete chromosome or a
fragment.
 Primers are constructed that will bind within a desired
region(purple).
 Additional reaction chemicals are added.
The reaction mixture
 Water and pH buffer.
 DNA to be multiplied
 RNA Primers
 Nucleotides
 DNA Polymerase (Taq)
Splitting DNA
 DNA is heated to 950c which causes double
stranded DNA to become single stranded.
Adding Primers
 RNA primers are prepared that base pair with a
selected sequence of DNA.
 Two primers must be used. One for each strand of
DNA.
 The reaction temperature is lowered to 600c to
allow the primer to attach(anneal).
Adding nucleotides
 The reaction temperature is raised to 720c to allow
nucleotides to be added.
 Polymerase enzyme (Taq) catalyze the addition of
nucleotides.
 Nucleotides are added in a 5´ to 3´ direction.
Repeating the cycle
 In the next cycle the heating and cooling steps are
repeated.
 The original (red/purple) strands reproduce as per the
first cycle.
 The new strands only duplicated between the primer
site to produce blocks of a set length.
Continuing the cycle
 The cycle is then repeated over and over again.
 With each cycle the no. of short fragments rapidly
increases while the no. of larger fragments increases
slowly.
30 cycles
 After 30 cycles, if replication has occurred fully, a total
of 2,147,483,648 strands could be produced.
 All but 62 will be the short length of the desired DNA
fragment.
4.Gel electrophoresis
5.DNA Sequencing
DNA SEQENCING
 Determining the order of bases in a section of DNA.
 To analyze gene structure and its relation to gene
expression as well as protein conformation.
Purpose
 Deciphering “ code of life”.
 Detecting mutation.
 Typing microorganisms.
 Identifying human halotypes .
 Designating polymorphisms.
Maxam and Gilbert method
 A.M.Maxam and W.Gilbert-1977
 The sequencing of a double stranded or single strand
DNA molecule is determine by treatment with
chemicals that cut the molecule at specific nucleotide
position.
Sanger method termed as chain
termination method
 This method uses dideoxynucleotide triphosphates
(dint's) chain termination :
Which have an H on the 3’
carbon of the ribose sugar instead of the normal OH
found in deoxynucleotide triphosphates(dNTPs).
There for in a synthesis reaction , if a
dideoxynucleotide is added instead of the normal
deoxynucleotide , the synthesis stops at that point
because the 3’OH necessary for the addition of the
next nucleotide is absent.
comparison
1 Sanger method
 Enzymatic
 Requires DNA synthesis
 Termination of chain
elongation
 Automation
 Single-stranded DNA
2 Maxam Gilbert Method
 Chemical
 Requires DNA
 Break DNA at different
nucleotides
 Automation is not available
 Double-stranded or single-
stranded DNA
Applications of DNA sequencing
 Forensics: to help identify individual has a different
genetic sequence.
 Medicine: can be used to help to detect the genes
which are linked to various genetic disorders such as
muscular dystrophy.
Agricultural : the mapping and sequencing of a
genome of microorganisms has helped to make them
useful for crops and food plants.
Advantage:-
 Improve the health care.
 Helping plants and animals to be able to resist certain
disease.
 Helps in forensic science for identifying criminals.
Disadvantage:-
 The risk that the DNA sequencing may not work right
and provide the wrong DNA sequencing of the
fragment.
6. Gene cloning
DNA Cloning Techniques
 Technique for gene cloning enable scientists to prepare
multiple copies of DNA pieces.
 DNA pieces are stored in DNA libraries for easy
identification and accessibility.
 DNA cloning can occur (in vitro) via RECOMBINANT
DNA TECHNOLOGY and POLYMERASE CHAIN
REACTION (PCR).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
 Reagents-1) Taq enzyme
2)10X buffer Teq w/o Mgcl₂
 Restriction enzyme -1) Xbal and Hind III
2)T4 DNA ligase
 Scarlett Barley Malt was provided by Zhong liang Malt
Division
 Wheat Malt obtained from Weyermann .
