    Hi Sal! I am studying pursuing my undergraduate studying molecular biology with a presentation on Real time PCR tomorrow. I really think this is an amazing process especially with respect to the forensic applications! Thanks for this video, it kind of summed up everything I have already covered so I feel really ready! Khan academy has been great since 8th grade and I am still using it now studying for my MCAT so thank you from the bottom of my heart!

    • @craftsandscience860
      @craftsandscience860 7 лет назад +4

      shakila rasa the negative control to detect if there is any DNA contaminant in my PCR reaction mixture. After the PCR reaction, the negative control should not produce any band on the gel electrophoresis.
      The positive control is the control that contain a piece of DNA that will be replicated using my primers and produce a bands, it is just to check that there is nothing wrong with my PCR reaction steps, denaturation, annealing and extension.

    I don’t know if the video mentions it but you can also use pcr to generate multiple copies of a mutated strand by introducing a primer containing a mutant base then favoring only mutant by introducing endonuclease to remove parent strand (mostly like nucleases selecting methylated strands) then repeatly coloniezes bacteria until you got a mutant

    i'm a newbie for this entire topic. its clear from this description that only a 'small fragment' (if this is the proper term) of DNA is able to be 'amplified' using this method. but for my understanding, what if the goal is to amplify the ENTIRE DNA sequence (say as in 3 billion base pairs of a human genome). can PCR still be successful to do this - if not, why (and what alternative method would be used)? and if yes, is there anything ''different' about the process for an entire sequence? Thanks in advance, for any insights...

    how do you select the right primer when you want to detect a new virus (in case of the first ever testing for that supposedly new virus) ? How do we know about the DNA- when we are trying to figure out if this is a new unknown virus?

    • @biologywithannie
      @biologywithannie 2 года назад

      Primers can be designed only if the sequence is known. So for detecting a new virus, the first step would be to sequence a sample of it isolated from a patient (using techniques like sanger sequencing) and confirm that it is a new strain of virus. Then you can design the primers by using a sequence that is unique to that strain. Now, you can test if this virus is present in the population by PCR. Only if that unique sequence is present in the patient's sample, will the PCR work and amplify DNA. Hope this helps.

  • @sanat1102

    Can a primer which has been involved in one cycle be utilised again in another cycle? Or is it necessary that a fresh primer is necessary?

    • @tartanhandbag
      @tartanhandbag 6 лет назад +1

      the primer becomes part of the new complementary sequence, so it's not "free", as it were, to go float off and bind to some other DNA strand. in that sense, it has no choice; once it binds it is fixed there. as the cycles go on, eventually the amount of primer (as well as dNTPs) get depleted.

    Why are primers made for both sense AND antisense DNA targets.

    • @craftsandscience860
      @craftsandscience860 7 лет назад +2

      Greg Fox to replicate both of the DNA strand, sense and antisense. If you design primers for only the DNA sense strand for example, it will replicate only the DNA sense strand making the number of copies of this strand higher than the DNA antisense strand
