Criminal DNA Fingerprinting Simulation Kit

2 Items Exclusive This product is exclusive to Carolina Biological Supply.
$28.45 - $166.80 View Details

Students act as forensic scientists in this hands-on activity that explores the theory, process, and applications of VNTR-based DNA fingerprinting. Using color-coded pop-bead models, students simulate molecular biology procedures to create a simplified DNA fingerprint for a murder suspect.

In groups, students use the materials in this kit to simulate restriction enzyme digestion, gel electrophoresis, Southern transfer, probe hibridization, and autoradiography.

Overview

Students act as forensic scientists in this hands-on activity that explores the theory, process, and applications of VNTR-based DNA fingerprinting. Using color-coded pop-bead models, students simulate molecular biology procedures to create a simplified DNA fingerprint for a murder suspect.

In groups, students use the materials in this kit to simulate restriction enzyme digestion, gel electrophoresis, Southern transfer, probe hibridization, and autoradiography. Finally, students compare the DNA fingerprint they create to the DNA fingerprints provided and determine if the murder suspect is guilty or innocent. Materials are reusable. Replacement beads and connectors can be purchased separately.
