Chapter 14 - Biotechnology

Today we finished the chapter on Biotechnology. We discussed how to use DNA microarrays (a.k.a. "Gene chip") as a tool to do genetic testing.

We then discussed how tandem repeats in the human genome can be used as markers to do some DNA profiling, mainly short tandem repeats (STRs).
