Using mitochondrial DNA isolated from their cheek cells or hair, students perform PCR and a restriction enzyme digest to determine their haplotypes with respect to a locus in the mitochondrial genome.

Concepts explored in this kit include haplotyping, evolution, and the application of PCR technology. Includes materials for 25 PCR reactions and restriction enzyme digests.

** Kit and perishable components will ship separately and may arrive on different days.
