Although the DNA from different individuals is more alike than different, there are many regions of human chromosomes that exhibit a great deal of diversity. Such variable sequences are termed “polymorphic” (meaning many forms) and provide the basis for forensic identification. This experiment uses gel electrophoresis and a DNA chip to examine a highly variable locus within the human genome, like the ones used by the FBI for DNA fingerprinting. This locus, D1S80, contains a variable number of tandem repeats, which can be used to build an individual's unique DNA profile. In this first part of the experiment, join DNALC educator Jeffry Petracca as he demonstrates how to extract and purify DNA from cheek cells using saline mouthwash, and amplify the D1S80 locus by PCR.
Presenter: Jeffry Petracca
Audience: High School, Undergraduate

It's amazing how you seem to have a script inside your head and remember every word of it. Very well done, I'm a bit jealous of your teaching skills 👌

very good effort to explain VNTR and its role. we need many more videos of DNA fingerprinting

Tqvm, i've been looking 4 this kind of explanation for quite some time. Your explanation is technically very detail. Lov it. 👍👍👍♥️🤩🤩🤩

At 14.03, its possible to get unique repeats for a loci, so its not necessary that STR profile of an individual should be an 100% matched to parents?

Awesome sir

Have you use any restriction enzymes here? Or just DNAses to fragment DNA?

@rubyvanveen3002 3 жыл бұрын

No, for a pcr you don't use restriction enzymes

The DNAses are actually kept INactive due to the removal of the calcium and magnesium ions. It is plain genomic DNA, of which a part, defined by the primers, will be heavily amplified in the pcr reaction.
