1.7. NUCLEIC ACID SEQUENCING
It’s the process to determining the nucleotide sequence comprising a DNA or RNA molecule and which is represented by the initials of the nitrogenous bases they carry.
SEQUENCING THE HUMAN MICROBIOME
Humans live in a delicate balance with the microorganisms that live in and on their bodies. If this balance is disrupted, harmful bacteria can multiply and cause disease. In this experiment, students will read DNA sequences obtained from automated DNA sequencing techniques. The data will be analyzed using publicly available databases to identify the bacterial species present in a patient sample. The results will be used to make a diagnosis.
> Kit includes:
Automated sequencing printouts.
> You need:
Computer access to the internet.
