Cycle 1 yields 2 molecules Primers Extension: DNA polymerase adds nucleotidesto the 3 end of each primer Newnucleo-tides Cycle 2 yields 4 molecules Cycle 3 yields 8 molecules; 2 molecules (in white boxes) match target sequence PCR

  9. PCR

  10. Primitive PCR machine

  11. Applications for PCR • DNA cloning for sequencing • Functional analysis of genes • Diagnosis of genetic diseases • ID genetic fingerprints (i.e. forensics and paternity testing) • Detection and diagnosis of infectious diseases (e.g. H1N1)

  12. Mixture of DNA molecules of different sizes – – Longer molecules Power source Gel Shorter molecules Completed gel + + Gel electrophoresis of DNA

  13. Lane 1 – Father Lane 2 – Child Lane 3 – Mother The child has inherited some, but not all of the fingerprint of each of its parents, giving it a new and unique fingerprint.
