Edvotek Kit S-51. Whose DNA Was Left Behind?

Edvotek Kit S-51. Whose DNA Was Left Behind?

This experiment explores the principles of DNA fi ngerprinting for the analysis of crime scene DNA. After performing agarose gel electrophoresis with colorful dyes, students will determine which suspect was at the crime scene.

DNA obtained from a single hair left behind at a crime scene can be used to identify a criminal. In this experiment, your students will compare simulated crime scene DNA with that of two suspects.

• Learn about DNA fingerprinting while solving a crime!
• Introduce the biotechnologies of restriction enzyme digestion, PCR, and electrophoresis
• Perform agarose gel electrophoresis to separate different sized dye molecules
• Load, run, and analyze simulated crime scene and suspect samples

NGSS-aligned with MS-LS3-A.
