Welcome!to the “Modern Lab”
sectionGraduate students: Francis Raycroft,
Aprell Carr, & Aranda Slabbekoorn
Why are you running a modern lab experiment?
This is a treat to yourself as a scientist!!!

Cloning GFPCharacterized the GFP proteinSequenced the protein’s DNACloned GFP DNA
Attach it to any other protein in the cell that one wants to study
Whatever you want to study is now visibly fluorescing and can be seen under a microscope
THE MICROSCOPIC WORLD IS OPENED TO OUR EYES!

Day1: Replicate the DNAPolymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
•Takes a piece of DNA and duplicates it over and over
•Couple examples of importance:
• Forensics: a very tiny DNA sample can be amplified by PCR. There is then more DNA to work with and run different tests on.
• Biochemistry: can use cloned DNA to transform and express protein in large amounts. Circumvents having to use live tissue samples.

Origin of replication
= DNA polymerase
•DNA polymerase recognizes the origin of replication
•Begins to replicate the plasmid (plus your inserted GFP sequence!)
