Teach PCR, gel electrophoresis, and bioinformatics with this DNA barcoding lab activity in which students determine the species of a fish based on the DNA sequence of its cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene. Students first extract DNA from tissue, use PCR to amplify the DNA, and perform agarose gel electrophoresis to verify PCR products. Next, after receiving DNA sequencing results from a third party (sequencing services not included), students then use bioinformatics to genetically identify the species using the sequence obtained. The unique COI sequence produced for a given sample is considered its DNA barcode.
With this kit, you can teach your students how to:
Learn more on the DNA Barcoding Kits product page.
Finish all lab activities in three 45-minute class periods.
This kit does not contain the agarose and buffer used for gel electrophoresis. These items may be purchased separately or as components of the Fish DNA Barcoding Kit with Agarose and TAE (17007153EDU).
