18
Q

Sequencing DNA: dideoxy chain termination method

A

ddNTP attach to synthesized DNA strands at specific location, each has distinct fluorescent label which can be read by spectrogram

Genetic markers

20
Q

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)

T
C

A

Single base pair sites
Useful genetic markers
Some cause changes in restriction sites

21

23
Q

Human gene therapy

A

Alteration of an afflicted individuals genes

Treats disorders traceable to single defective gene

24

29
Genetic marker
Gene or other identifiable DNA sequence
30
