  1. Biotechnology Gel Electrophoresis

  2. Many uses of restriction enzymes… • Now that we can cut DNA with restriction enzymes… • we can cut up DNA from different people… or different organisms… and compare it • why? • forensics • medical diagnostics • paternity • evolutionary relationships • and more…

  3. Comparing cut up DNA • How do we compare DNA fragments? • separate fragments by size • How do we separate DNA fragments? • run it through a gelatin • gel electrophoresis • How does a gel work?

  4. Gel electrophoresis • A method of separating DNA in a gelatin-like material using an electrical field • DNA is negatively charged • when it’s in an electrical field it moves toward the positive side DNA        – + “swimming through Jello”

  5. Gel electrophoresis • DNA moves in an electrical field… • so how does that help you compare DNA fragments? • size of DNA fragment affects how far it travels • small pieces travel farther • large pieces travel slower & lag behind DNA        – + “swimming through Jello”

  6. Gel Electrophoresis DNA &restriction enzyme - longer fragments wells power source gel shorter fragments completed gel +

  7. fragments of DNAseparate out based on size Running a gel Stain DNA • ethidium bromide binds to DNA • fluoresces under UV light cut DNA with restriction enzymes 1 2 3

  8. DNA fingerprint • Why is each person’s DNA pattern different? • sections of “junk” DNA • doesn’t code for proteins • made up of repeated patterns • CAT, GCC, and others • each person may have different number of repeats • many sites on our 23 chromosomes with different repeat patterns GCTTGTAACGGCCTCATCATCATTCGCCGGCCTACGCTT CGAACATTGCCGGAGTAGTAGTAAGCGGCCGGATGCGAA GCTTGTAACGGCATCATCATCATCATCATCCGGCCTACGCTT CGAACATTGCCGTAGTAGTAGTAGTAGTAGGCCGGATGCGAA

  11. 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 Uses: Evolutionary relationships • Comparing DNA samples from different organisms to measure evolutionary relationships turtle snake rat squirrel fruitfly – DNA  +

  12. Uses: Medical diagnostic • Comparing normal allele to disease allele chromosomewith normal allele 1 chromosome with disease-causing allele 2 allele 2 allele 1 – DNA  Example: test for Huntington’s disease +

  13. Uses: Forensics • Comparing DNA sample from crime scene with suspects & victim suspects crime scene sample S1 S2 S3 V – DNA  +

  14. DNA fingerprints • Comparing blood samples on defendant’s clothing to determine if it belongs to victim • DNA fingerprinting

  15. RFLP / electrophoresis use in forensics • 1st case successfully using DNA evidence • 1987 rape case convicting Tommie Lee Andrews “standard” semen sample from rapist blood sample from suspect “standard” How can you compare DNA fromblood & from semen?RBC? “standard” semen sample from rapist blood sample from suspect “standard”

  16. Electrophoresis use in forensics • Evidence from murder trial • Do you think suspect is guilty? blood sample 1 from crime scene blood sample 2 from crime scene blood sample 3 from crime scene “standard” blood sample from suspect OJ Simpson blood sample from victim 1 N Brown blood sample from victim 2 R Goldman “standard”

  17. Mom F1 F2 child Uses: Paternity • Who’s the father? – DNA  +
