  • This lesson focuses on the molecular biology technique of DNA fingerprinting: what it is, how it works, and how the data from these experiments are used for paternity testing and forensics? DNA can be used to tell people apart because humans differ from each other based on either their DNA sequences or the lengths of repeated regions of DNA. Length differences are typically used in forensics and paternity testing. The technique of gel electrophoresis separates DNA by size, thus allowing people to be identified based on analyzing the lengths of their DNA. We discuss how gel electrophoresis works, and lab footage is shown of this technique being performed in real time. Students then analyze results from these experiments and work on case examples using DNA to match babies to parents and crime scene evidence to suspects. In terms of prerequisite knowledge, it would be ideal if students already have learned that DNA is the genetic material, and that DNA is made up of As, Ts, Gs, and Cs. It also would help if students already know that each human has two versions of every piece of DNA in their genome, one from mom and one from dad. Necessary supplies for this lesson include only paper and writing utensils, and the ability to print out or display the provided handouts. The lesson will take about one class period, with roughly 30 minutes of footage and 30 minutes of activities. At the end of the lesson, an optional video tour of the Cambridge Police Department’s Identification Lab is provided, giving students an opportunity to see the equipment used in crime labs to isolate both real fingerprints and DNA for DNA fingerprint analysis, from evidence found at crime scenes.
    Watch optional video (blossoms.mit.edu/videos/files/... Visit to Police Identification Lab in Cambridge, MA to see how DNA is extracted from evidence at crime scenes.

    Thank you so much for the explanation! In forensics, how can one sequence DNA from sperm and compare the result
    to a suspect if gametic cells have a different DNA than somatic cells
    (due to crossing over of gametic cells)? How can one know what to look
    for if that's not the same sequence?

    It would be nice to know what specific kinds of products you buy in terms of repeats that are available. Do you have any links to share from the manufacture? You talk about a sequence from chromosome 4, but you don't say that you isolated chromosome 4 for analysis.

    Bib mistake when loading the DNA even though she used a new tip on the tube which takes the DNA out of the storage tube, it will mix with the inside of the gathering tube she uses ? After all its taken out by air, every time she touches the end or pushes the button its sucks out the DNA sample, so if the suction is to high it will remove DNA sample and thus contaminate a new sample, even though its the same DNA sample,what if a person uses it on a different test >?

  • @7071t6
    @7071t6 6 лет назад

    Also she said different people @ 30:25 - 6 / different samples of different peoples DNA when it started off having more copies of the same DNA sample to test from the PCR machine ??

  • @7071t6
    @7071t6 6 лет назад

    So she either has 12 separate different DNA samples or 12 of the same DNA sequence from different people ?at the 30:25 mark which is in the Matrix GEL medium ?

    The answer to the first question is that the chemicals would be the same, but in different orders ie: if it was the DNA which represents the chromosomes for your eyes, then its would look the same, but with various differences like i mentioned the chemicals with in the chromosomes are different order ?
    Also as far as identical twins, do they have the same finger prints over their lifetime ? Also has there ever been twins where one is a male and the other is a female ? If so then the identical twins will have different DNA, due to the chromosomes are different from male to female ?

  • @7071t6
    @7071t6 6 лет назад

    I wonder how much is the electron microscope worth that they use and also the chemical used to separate the DNA into various individual DNA strands and how much of our DNa is clear and matched up ie: they know every single chromosome and what it does in the human body and its chemical signature and what are the main chemicals which make people have diseases and what the chemical signature is for each chromosome for those specific diseases ?
    Which main diseases have they mapped worldwide, like say how the human body is copping with the common cold for example ?
    also what are the main chemicals in each DNA as the main 5 or 10 that everyone has in each DNA chromosome sample ?

  • @7071t6
    @7071t6 6 лет назад

    What si that liquid used or matrix medium, like i mentioned in my lower comment, if you can work out what chemical or medium used can change the time frame of larger DNA samples and smaller DNA samples then you can change the outcome of any DNA test done ? Also if your the chemical company that provides this chemical used in the DNA Matrix Positive and negative DNA matrix testing you would be on a winner. :) Patent it and then charge what ever you like, especially in forensic and Paternity cases ?

  • @rosaravelo3709
    @rosaravelo3709 5 лет назад

    Very well explain, you are good and the video is great, just one question, if our DNA is unique and it is our fingerprint ,in a paternity test where all sites tested match, why the probability of paternity never reach 100? I have seen that some reaches 99.99999 others 99.99997 etc but never 100

    • @brittniep9219
      @brittniep9219 3 года назад

      It is based on statistics. For example, with STR, the U.S. uses 13 loci. This puts it in the range of 1/100s of trillions, but it can never rule it out completely.

  • @7071t6
    @7071t6 6 лет назад

    A positive medium would be used and then the larger DNA would take longer to get through the gel matrix and the smaller DNa would move faster through the matrix medium and then you could manipulate the medium to make them move in different speeds as long as those in charge of the DNA test dont know you have changed the matrix medium,yet you have put on paper that the medium used in the matrix is so and so chemical which is used in all gel the dna tests ?

  • @7071t6
    @7071t6 6 лет назад

    @ 26:30 they are not your parents because the lengths of the DNA do not match with your sample, your mom has passed her DNA and genes to you but the sample of DNA in this test shows that the DADS DNA has not transferred to you otherwise you would have the same length DNA strand of chromosomes as part of this test ?
    Thats why in paternity test you always use the right sequencing of the DNA which always tells you if the DAD or MUM has pasted on his or her genes and chromosomes in the DNA sequencing etc. cheers and good luck in the rest of the test . :)

  • @7071t6
    @7071t6 6 лет назад

    So basically when she started the test with the GEL Medium and or Matrix, she should have told everyone that its a paternity test and not lead everyone into thinking we are going to really see real DNA or chromosomes attached to a DNa strand ?

    Important question(s)….
    1.) Is it physically possible to change someone’s DNA with a shot to the spine..? (CRISPR)
    2.) Is it possible to hack in to a persons DNA Results and change it to match someone else’s family if they have the DNA from a different mother?
    This question is very important to me and Thank you .

      No, you can, but it is looking at the entire genome and therefore is very expensive and uncommon. Usually other ways are used, e.g. one twin has lost teeth/dentition or broken bones, etc.

    the main reason why the coping is done, is that you need to run the tests to confirm or deny the results and also to keep samples of the copies for future reference and storage as well and should other LABS need to do the same tests to confirm or rebut your tests ?
    Also THE USA and some other countries share the DNA samples to get a good idea of who is out there for example the president of the "USA each one is different thus security measures will be different for each president?f

      @brittniep9219 3 года назад

      It depends on the test but typically the more discriminating, the better. Which is why in STR (CODIS) they use 13 STR to determine a "match." The likelihood is 1/100s of trillions then.

    Now that we have the DNA mapped, just imagine if you use that technology to make a perfect person with no Problems, which i believe is impossible and my reason is that over millions of years or at least in the last 150,000 years our DNA has changed to the point that curtain chromosomes and markers for various diseases would interact chemically and thus make it useless to remove a chromosome that controls say the color of your eyes for example and changing them to light green for example, you would need to know which chemicals of the chromosome is working with which other chromosome in order to change the outcome, i think we are at least 50 years away from making the Orwells prediction of 1984 ? Yet we have had the lower classes doing all the crap work now since the first job, ie: prostitution and also SALES or bartering,which are the two oldests jobs known and nothing has changed since man first walked the earth other than a hunter and the gather which used to be the younger women and the man were the hunters ?
