Summary Introduction

The DNA replication takes place in a very active site termed as the replication fork. The DNA helicases unwind and create the replication fork. It is composed of leading and lagging strands and looks like a fork. It is formed within the nucleus. The two branching “prongs” of the replication fork is made of a single strand of DNA.

Give the purpose of gel electrophoresis system. If larger DNA is loaded in the gel, what will be the movement of such DNA, how about is smaller DNA is loaded into the gel?
Diagram and explain how APEX probes can be used to determine that an individual is CC (homozygous) for a specific G/C SNV. Recall that the genotype of an SNV is identified from the strand shown in NCBI. What color fluorescence will be observed? Also, explain why a left apex probe cannot be used for this SNV. The SNV sequence, on the strand shown in NCBI, and a few nucleotides adjacent to the SNV are below: 5'-------TGT(G/C)CAG------3'
