Dye Electrophoresis Lab- Cat Genetics
This dye electrophoresis lab offers
students an opportunity to link traditional Mendelian genetics with
our
modern understanding of genes and inheritance. Students use Punnett
squares to track the inheritance of one trait in a family of cats, then
use gel electrophoresis to connect their predictions to our modern understanding of genes and DNA. This lab serves as a fun and engaging introduction to DNA analysis and gel electrophoresis.
Cat Genetics Dye Electrophoresis Lab features:
- An engaging and accessible introduction to gel electrophoresis
- Safe, non-toxic dyes that are directly visible without gel staining
- Pre-aliquoted samples and premeasured agarose tablets for easy prep
- Gel electrophoresis reagents included: TBE electrophoresis buffer and 8 Agarose Tabs™
- Compatible with Bandit™, blueGel™, and other gel electrophoresis systems
- A low-cost jumping-off point to explore genetics and biotechnology
This lab kit provides enough reagents for eight lab groups:
