Examine the DNA fragment sequence below. Your job is to design primers for PCR that would be able to amplify this DNA fragment. Design the primers so that they are 7 bases in length.  Don’t forget to indicate direction (polarity) of the primers. Also describe where the primer would bind (i.e. top or bottom strand, left or right side of the DNA strand). Please organize your response so that each primer, and associated information, is separated by at least one blank line  5’ - TCCACTTGCTGTGTAGCTAAATCATATAACAG3’ - AGGTGAACGACACATCGATTTAGTATATTGAC
Restriction endonuclease and ligase are two types of enzymes used in the process of genetic engineering, i.e., the manipulation of genes. The restriction endonuclease differs from ligase in that it breaks the DNA at ends, while ligase causes the breaks in DNA from interior joins the fragments of DNA, while ligase breaks the DNA into fragments breaks the DNA at specific points, while the ligase joins the fragments of DNA breaks the DNA apart at each nucleotide, while ligase use the pieces to translate
Figure 9-22 shows the first steps in the process of making a DNA microarray, or DNA chip, using photolithography. Describe the remaining steps needed to obtain the desired sequences (a different fournucleotide sequence on each of the four spots) shown in the first panel of the figure. After each step, give the resulting nucleotide sequence attached at each spot.
