Experiment 2 (Labs 4,5,6): Mouse Murder Mystery
Using 3 autosomal polymorphic markersUsing 1 Y-chromosome marker
What is DNA Polymorphism?
Alternate forms (alleles) of a chromosomal locus that differ in nucleotide sequence or have variable numbers of repeated nucleotide units
Genetic variation in the population
Used to identify different individuals
Step 1: Isolate genomic DNA from mouse tissues (Suspects and Evidence)
Step 2: Perform PCR on ALL samples using 4 different primer pairs to determine the genotypes of suspects and evidence.
Step 3: Run all samples on a polyacrylamide gel using 100 bp DNA ladder.
Step 4: Analyze the gel and solve the mystery.

Primer Pairs to be used this week
Lab 4: Mouse Murder Mystery
Sample 1- TerrySample 2- JamieSample 3- MelSample 4- RobinSample 5- Evidence 1 from glass 1Sample 6- Evidence 2 from glass 2Sample 7- Evidence 3 from glass 3
There are 15 wells in your polyacrylamide gel. You will load your gel in the following order: First lane will be 100 bp ladderSample 1-7 for 3G5 (lanes 2-8), Sample 1-7 for MusY (lanes 9-15)Sample 1-7 for 5G4 (lanes 2-8), Sample 1-7 for 6G2 (lanes 9-15)
Order of Samples: Very Important
Assigned Primer Pairs
1. Each group is to perform this experiment with ALL FOUR primer pairs. Each student is assigned a primer pair which is posted on the website. You will receive marks only for YOUR primer pair.
Please go to “Experiment 2” and click on “Click here to seewhich primer pair you have been assigned”.
2. Please make sure you do your assigned primer pair. If you have to switch primer pairs with someone then do so BEFORE the lab and more importantly you must inform me of the switch BEFORE the experiment.
Each person does 1 (their own assigned primer pair) autosomal marker:
Eg, Group 1-1 Student #1……….3G5Student#2………..6G2Student#3………..5G4All together as a group………MusY
Lab 4: Student#1….3G5… Setting up PCR reactionAll together….MusY…Setting up PCR reaction
Lab 5: Student#1….3G5… Running PCR product on PAGE All together….MusY…. Running PCR product on PAGE Student#2…..6G2….Setting up PCR reactionStudent#3…..5G4….Setting up PCR reaction
Lab 6: Student#2…6G2… Running PCR product on PAGE Student#3…5G4…Running PCR product on PAGE All together….Start Experiment 3 (Labs 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
From start to finish on your own

Rules for Switching Assigned Primer Pairs
Please make sure you do your assigned primer pair. If you have to switch primer pairs with someone (due to attendance) then you mustdo so BEFORE the lab and more importantly you must inform me of the switch BEFORE the experiment, otherwise you will receivemarks for a primer pair which you may not have performed.
IMPORTANT: Saving Your Images for Experiment 2 (Mouse Murder Mystery)
You should have 2 gels:
1. Gel 1 with 3G5 and MUSY primer
Please save as “3G5_MUSY.tif”
2. Gel 2 with 5G4 and 6G2 primers
Please save as “5G4_6G2.tif”

Polyacrylamide Gel ElectrophoresisTo separate PCR products differing in only a few bp in length (for example, microsatellite markers), 6-10% PA gels are used.
Mixture of DNA molecules
Step by Step Instructions on how to assemble the polyacrylamide gel apparatus is posted on the course website
The TAs will be providing a demonstration in this week’s lab
Please make sure you view the movie demonstrating the assembly and running of PAGE.
Polyacrylamide Gels are made through the process of free radical polymerization
Initiation: The “initiator” is an unstable molecule that decomposes into a free radical and thereby attacks double bonds.
Propagation:
Termination:
* Also need a crosslinker and a catalyst Initiating Free radicalMonomerCrosslinkerCatalyst

β-galactosidase is an enzyme encoded by the bacterial gene lacZ.
β-galactosidase cleaves the colorless substrate X-gal (5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-β-galactopyranoside) into galactose and a blue insoluble product of the cleavage.
X-GAL
The LacZ Reporter Gene
You will be using this in Expts 3 and 4
Why are the cloning sites within lacz gene?
White = RecombinantBlue = Non-recombinant
lacZ is used as a reporter gene
Blue/White Selection
Cloning Strategy for Experiment 3 will be discussed next week
Next week: Discussion of Article 1
Please read article and answer questions before coming to class.
I will not be collecting answers to this article.
