Edvotek™ Safari Reunion

Description

In this lab, students will perform electrophoresis on the DNA samples of two lions in order to return them to wildlife sanctuaries close to their ancestral home.

• Learn how DNA is used to discover an individual's ancestry
• Perform DNA electrophoresis and RFLP analysis
• Analyze phylogenetic tree and haplotype maps
• Explore how conservation biologists use genetic data
• Designed for 8 gels if stained with FlashBlue™ (included) or 16 gels if stained with SYBR™ Safe (not included)
• Complete gel electrophoresis in 45 minutes and analysis in 20-30 minutes
• Kit includes Instructions, Ready-to-Load QuickStrip™ DNA Samples, UltraSpec-Agarose™, Electrophoresis Buffer (50X), Practice Gel Loading Solution, FlashBlue™ DNA Stain
• Room Temperature Stable. Storage of Ready-to-Load QuickStrip™ samples in the Refrigerator is Recommended
