DNA Fingerprinting
Scenario
DNA Profiling is the colloquial term used when referring to a DNA profile of an individual, using the markers described in section 4. Different methods and visualisation techniques are used to analyse the markers described.
Most now use PCR based systems where segments from either side of the loci are amplified, the products are then analysed using Capillary Electrophoresis to provide repeat numbers – e.g. the DNA Profile.
In this exercise, you will have to analyse data provided from a profile and make inferences about the data.
1. Describe the process of Capillary Electrophoresis. You may include self-produced images in your answer.
