Then find the smooth side of the slide. Retrieve a fluorimeter from the TA and take it to your group's table. Put the slide from before in its place on the fluorimeter, making sure the smooth side is facing down. Open the camera app, turn on the timer for 3-5 seconds, and put it on the craddle. Make sure the camera has a good view of the slide by adjusting either the height of the fluorimeter or the camera. Using a micropipette, take 80 micro liters of SYBR Green I solution and carefully put it between the front two clear circles of the slide. Now put 80 micro liters of the sample/calibration over the SYBR Green I drop. Make sure the that the light is hitting the drop in the middle and goes through the other side by adjust the slide. The camera should be at closest 4 centimeters and focused. Record how far the camera is from the fluorimeter. Cover the fluorimeter with the lightbox with one of the flaps up. Double check that the camera is focused on the drop. Start the camera's timer and take the last flap down. Once the picture is taken, dispose of the 160 micro liter drop. Move on to the next position on the slide. Repeat all the steps for each sample.

The first two samples were cracked and the third appeared much more fluorescent so perhaps the amount of sample was not enough for detection when diluted. Patient 2 (ID: 86787) : This patient does not have SNP. SNP Information & Primer Design Background: About the Disease SNP The Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) is a DNA sequence variation. One of the known SNPs is rs268 in the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene. rs268 is found in a species called Germline, which is a series of germ cells. This variation is located in chromosome 8: 19956018. It is considered as a pathogenic SNP and is associated with Coronary Heart disease. Primer Design and Testing After testing the Non-disease primer, both forward and backward, we got successful results assuming calculating it with 50mM salt and 50nM annealing oligo concentration. However, the disease primer testing was not successful where there was " no match found." Non-disease reverse and forward primer: Disease reverse and forward primer:
