===Gene detection experiment=== | |||
With guesstimated cost. | |||
For [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymerase_chain_reaction PCR]: | |||
* Primers (£20) | |||
* PCR Reagents (£40) | |||
* Pipette & tips (£30) | |||
* 0.5ml tubes (£10) | |||
For [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophoresis electrophoresis]: | |||
* Power source (100V, low hundreds of mA; we have this) | |||
* Agarose (£30) | |||
* TBE Tablets (£10) | |||
* Ladder (£20) | |||
* Loading buffer (£20) | |||
* Gel red/SYBR safe (£30) | |||
This would give us the immediate means to do gene detection (by designing primers that mark particular genes.) E.g.: | |||
* Detection of species ("lamb curry test") | |||
* Detection of variants of species (e.g. detect known traits based on published gene sequences) | |||
* Detection of genetic modifications (GMO food) | |||
* We can also send the results to a sequencing lab to get data back. | |||
