OUR COMPANY Name: Caitlin R. Byrne Name: Megan McGuire Name: Wade Savage Name: Theo Hall PCReate "A easier way to divide and conquer." LAB 6 WRITE-UP Computer-Aided Design TinkerCAD [Instructions: A short summary (up to five sentences) of the TinkerCAD tool and how you used it in lab on November 20th] Our Design [Instructions: Show an image of your TinkerCAD design here] [Instructions: A short paragraph describing your design. Why did you choose this design? How is it different from the original OpenPCR design?] Feature 1: Disease SNP-Specific Primers [Instructions: This information will come from the exercises you did in PCR Lab B.] Background on the disease-associated mutation [Instructions: Use the answers from questions 3 - 7 to compose, in your own words, a paragraph about rs237025] Primer design Disease SNP-specific Forward Primer: [Instructions: type the sequence of the forward primer] Reverse Primer: [Instructions: type the sequence of the reverse primer] How the primers work: [Instructions: explain what makes the primers disease-sequence specific. In other words, explain why the primers will amplify DNA that contains the disease-associated SNP, and will not exponentially amplify DNA that has the non-disease 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(es), explain how in an additional paragraph.] Feature 3: Hardware - PCR Machine & Fluorimeter [Instructions: Summarize how you will include the PCR machine and 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 awesome and easy to score.] [Instructions: IF your group has decided to redesign the PCR machine and/or Fluorimeter to address any major weakness(es), 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 PCR for predicting the disease. Please do NOT type the actual numerical values here. Just refer to them as being "close to one" or "very small." The instructors will ask you to submit your actual calculations via a Blackboard quiz. We are doing so for the sake of academic integrity and to curb any temptation to cheat.]
