Using the high quality colourful plastic parts, your students simulate a restriction digest using two different restriction enzymes. They then model a Southern blot using a DNA probe. Finally, they create a restriction map to find the DNA region of interest.
Your students will learn about:
- restriction mapping
- restriction enzymes
- DNA probes
- Southern blotting
- gel electrophoresis
For 6 student groups.
Time required: 30 minutes.
All components are reusable. Includes full instructions and lesson plan.
