Today we finished the chapter on cloning and recombinant DNA technology.
We covered two of the "classic" ways to analyze DNA: Southern blots and DNA sequencing.
We covered the steps to perform a Southern blot, including the basics of agarose gel electrophoresis, and how to use RNA/DNA probes to find genes of interest.
When discussing DNA sequencing we focused on automated DNA sequencing through the dye-terminator sequencing method, which uses dideoxynucleotides with a fluorescent label.
