Cystic Fibrosis is a genetically inherited disease that is derived from the production of excessive mucous build up in the respiratory tract. This has a major effect on the body's endocrine system, more specifically in the digestive and respiratory systems. | |||

The marker SNP for the disease of cystic fibrosis that is being used is rs35731153. This disease can be found on chromosome 16. Cystic fibrosis gene is a mutation in the gene for the protein cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. The cystic fibrosis gene mainly affects the lungs but also the pancreas, liver, and intestines. It is a scarring and cyst formation in the pancreas and causes trouble breathing. This often leads to lung infections. Ultimately death occurs unless a lung transplant can be completed. | The marker SNP for the disease of cystic fibrosis that is being used is rs35731153.

OUR TEAMLAB 2 WRITE-UPThermal Cycler EngineeringOur re-design is based upon the Open PCR system originally designed by Josh Perfetto and Tito Jankowski.
In order to increase tube space, we increase the heating plate and increase the power proportionally to the size of the plate. We would also add more ventilation next to the heating plate in order to speed up the cooling process of the DNA. Key Features
