Techniques to see DNA/RNA
Light Microscopy
Electrophoresis
Blotting
DNA sequencing
Ways to see DNA with “naked” eye
Compact DNA with dyes/proteins
Cut and dye DNA
Copy DNA with dye attached
DNA/RNA and Light Microscopy
Chromosomes locked in metaphase
Able to visualize histones
DNA partially denatured then labelled with probe
DNA/RNA and Sequencing
DNA extended with DNA polymerase
Terminated with 2’,3’ dideoxynucleotide
DNA/RNA and Electrophoresis
Separation of DNA/RNA by size
DNA/RNA and Blotting
Immobile DNA/RNA detected via specific sequence
Hybridizes with Probe that is tagged and can be visualized
Purpose of Light Microscopy and DNA?
Looks for LARGE abnormalities
Trisomy/Monosomy, Ring structures
