Summary Introduction
Introduction
The gel electrophoresis method is used to separate the genetic material or PCR amplified products based on their molecular size, shape, and electrical charge. This technique helps to identify and isolate genes of interest or DNA fragments. Such DNA sequences are used to insert into donor organisms through vectors to create genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or serve as a template for PCR amplification or construction of the gene library. The electrophoresis technique is involved to evaluate PCR samples for clinical or genetic diagnosis. Also, it is used for the separation of restricted DNA or RNA samples before transfer in Southern blotting or Northern blotting, respectively.

As a whole, the family has had no previous significant medical history, yet interfaces with their primary care physician and medical specialists throughout their lifespan for various conditions. While laboratory analysis often involved the collection of routine blood and urine specimens, the cases in this chapter will highlight times when they needed other body fluids collected for diagnostic purposes. 1) Besides blood and urine, what are other body fluids that can be collected for diagnostic purposes? 2) Do you believe that there are body fluids that are only clinically relevant at certain time points in life? Or, instead, are the diagnostic utility of these fluids equal across the lifespan?arrow_forwardMicrobiology question. Please choose the right answers.arrow_forward
