Outbreak! Fingerprinting Virus DNA Kit

"I have used Carolina's PCR forensics simulation DNA fingerprinting kit at a local biotechnology symposium (I have hosted) each year since 1994. Literally thousands of students have benefited from using this kit to foster their understanding of gel electrophoresis, PCR, restriction endonucleases, and the reading of a DNA fingerprint. Most of these students are enrolled in Advanced Placement® Biology and appreciate teh exposure this kit gives them to required AP® Biology topics in molecular genetics."

With this easy-to-use kit students become virus hunters as they interpret DNA fingerprints to identify the viral strain responsible for a potentially deadly fictitious disease outbreak. Students load harmless predigested DNA samples onto agarose gels and separate the fragments to produce fingerprints. References to articles on emerging diseases are included so your class can learn more about them. Materials supplied are sufficient for 6 student groups.
