OUR COMPANY Name: John Sherman Name: student Name: student Name: student Name: student Name: student [Name of Company: Cyber Green] LAB 6 WRITE-UP Computer-Aided Design TinkerCAD The TinkerCAD tools we used in this lab were the Capsule by Marrisa, and the Banana by Rob Walch. The use of the Capsules is to indicate the amount of a substance that is in the tube by putting three lines on one side of the tube. These lines were added as a measurement tool. Lastly, the Banana tool was used to connect the tubes together to help keep them organized. Implications of Using TinkerCAD for Design One possible way TinkerCAD is used is to redesign objects to work and perform better. One example of this would be redesigning a camera holder. Maybe the camera holder doesnt fit all cameras. TinkerCAD can help one redesign it and create a holder which can transform to the cameras shape. This would allow the product to work and perform better. Feature 1: Cancer SNP-Specific Primers [Instructions: This information will come from the Week 9 exercises you did in lab. Your notes should be in a pdf file that is saved on Blackboard under your group.] Background on the cancer-associated mutation [Instructions: Use the answers from questions 3, 4, 5, and 7 to compose, in your own words, a paragraph about rs17879961] Primer design Forward Primer: [Instructions: write the sequence of the forward primer] Cancer-specific Reverse Primer: [Instructions: write the sequence of the forward primer] How the primers work: [Instructions: explain what makes the primers cancer-sequence specific. In other words, explain why the primers will amplify DNA that contains the cancer-associated SNP rs17879961, and will not exponentially amplify DNA that has the non-cancer allele.] Feature 2: Consumables Kit [Instructions: Summarize how the consumables will be packaged in your kit. You may add a schematic image. An image is OPTIONAL and will not get bonus points, but it will make your report look awesome and easy to score.] [Instructions: IF your consumables packaging plan addresses any major weakness discussed by your group or mentioned by others (see the Virtual Comment Board Powerpoint files on Blackboard, Lab Week 12) explain how in an additional paragraph.] Feature 3: PCR Machine Hardware [Instructions: Summarize how you will include the PCR machine in your system. You may add a schematic image. An image is OPTIONAL and will not get bonus points, but it will make your report look really awesome and easy to score.] [Instructions: IF your group has decided to redesign the PCR machine to address any major weakness discussed by your group or mentioned by others (see the Virtual Comment Board Powerpoint files on Blackboard, Lab Week 12) explain how in an additional paragraph.] Feature 4: Fluorimeter Hardware [Instructions: Summarize how you will include the fluorimeter in your system. You may add a schematic image. An image is OPTIONAL and will not get bonus points, but it will make your report look really REALLY awesome and easy to score.] [Instructions: IF your group has decided to redesign the fluorimeter to address any major weakness discussed by your group or mentioned by others (see the Virtual Comment Board Powerpoint files on Blackboard, Lab Week 12) explain how in an additional paragraph.] Bonus Opportunity: What Bayesian Stats Imply About The BME100 Diagnostic Approach [Instructions: This section is OPTIONAL, and will get bonus points if answered thoroughly and correctly. Here is a chance to flex some intellectual muscle. In your own words, discuss what the results for calculations 3 and 4 imply about the reliability of CHEK2 PCR for predicting cancer. Please do NOT type the actual numerical values here. Just refer to them as being "less than one" or "very small." The instructors will ask you to submit your actual calculations via e-mail. We are doing so for the sake of academic integrity and to curb any temptation to cheat.]
