  6. Transfection Results 10 Fold Increase in Transfection Efficiency

  7. 2a. 1. 2b. 3. 4. Possible Pathways for releasing DNA • PE is able to release DNA from endosome (4), while PC is trapped in endosome (3) B. PE fuses directly with cell membrane

  8. RET II: Lesson Plans Genetic Engineeringactivities and labs that can be used as a supplement with current lessons to enhance learning of state standards.

  9. Biology State Standards • 5a. Students know the general structures and functions of DNA, RNA, and protein. • 5c. Students know how genetic engineering (biotechnology) is used to produce novel biomedical and agricultural products. • 5d. Students know how basic DNA technology (restriction digestion by endonucleases, gel electrophoresis, ligation, and transformation) is used to construct recombinant DNA molecules.

  10. Activities • Genetic Disorder Poster • Genetically Modified Food Debate • Genetic Counseling Skit

  11. Labs • DNA Extractions • DNA Fingerprinting (Gel Electrophoresis) • Plant Tissue Differentiation

  12. Simulated Labs

  13. Thank Yous! • Martina • Melanie • Fellow RETers • NIH • Nate & Chris
