In a PCR reaction, a region of the template strand reads 5′–GATTAC–3′ at the binding site for the reverse primer.
What is the sequence of the reverse primer in the 5' to 3' direction?
PCR is a method which has been used to...
You are studying a particular mutant fly which has misshapen wings. You believe you know which gene has been mutated to cause the misshapen wing phenotype but you do not know exactly what the mutation is (i.e. point mutation? Deletion? Insertion?) What is the best experimental protocol to determine the sequence of the mutated gene?
Suppose you start with one double-stranded DNA fragment which you then amplify by doing 25 rounds of PCR. How many DNA fragments would you have at the end of the procedure?
Cloning
You want to perform directed mutagenesis on a on a gene that is located in a plasmid. Following this change in amino acid sequence you want to over express the protein in a bacterial host for purification.
What enzymes, both inside and outside of the bacterial host, are necessary for this process?
