We placed the phone more than four centimeters away from the fluorimeter and made sure it was even with the drop. Distance between the smart phone cradle and drop = 4 centimeters Solutions Used for Calibration Initial Concentration of 2X Calf Thymus DNA Solution (µg/mL) Volume of 2X DNA Solution (µL) Volume of SYBR Green I Dye Solution (µL) Final DNA Concentration in SYBR Green I Solution (µg/mL) 5 80 80 2.5 2 80 80 1 1 80 80 .5 .5 80 80 .25 .25 80 80 .125 0 80 80 0 Solutions Used for PCR Samples PCR Product Tube Label Volume of the Diluted PCR Product solution(μL) Volume of SYBR Green I Dye Solution (µL) Dilution 1 Dilution 2 Total Dilution Simplified Fraction 14 1-1 80 80 0.166 .5 0.0833 14 1-2 80 80 0.166 .5 0.0833 14 1-3 80 80 0.166 .5 0.0833 14 Pos. 80 80 0.166 .5 0.0833 14 2-1 80 80 0.166 .5 0.0833 14 2-2 80 80 0.166 .5 0.0833 14 2-3 80 80 0.166 .5 0.0833 14 Neg. 80 80 0.166 .5 0.0833 Placing Samples onto the Fluorimeter Step One: With the fluorimeter on, put the smooth-side of the slide down into the fluorimeter. Step Two: Open the camera application and set a three second timer with no flash. Step Three: Place 80 μL of SYBR Green in between the first two circles in the middle row of the slide. Step Four: Add 80 μL of the Sample Solution to the SYBR Green on the slide using the micropipette. Step Five: Focus the fluorimeter light on the center of the drop on the slide. Step Six: Place the camera approximately 4 cm away from the fluorimeter. Step Seven: Use the box to cover the fluorimeter and the phone. Step Eight: Make sure the drop is focused on the camera, press the camera button and lower the flap of the box. Step Nine: Wait approximately 5 seconds to ensure that the picture is taken without disturbance from outside light. Step Ten: Reopen the flap and take another two pictures. Step Eleven: Open the flap and remove the 160 μL drop of SYBR Green and Sample Solution from the slide using the micropipette and discard in the waste container. Step Twelve: Adjust the slide so the light focuses on the next set of circles. Steps Thirteen: Repeat steps Two through Eleven until all solutions have been placed on the fluorimeter and photographed.

The concentration data from 2.5 μg/mL was omitted from the line of best fit because it was an outlier. PCR Results Summary Our positive control PCR result was 14.93198118 μg/mL Our negative control PCR result was 0.160408391 μg/mL Observed results Patient 1-22157 : The images were more florescent than patient 49284. They had a very strong green color. Patient 2-49384 : The images had more of a darker color. There was no florescence in the images from patient 49284. Conclusions Patient 1-22157 : The SYBR Green fluoresces very well in the presence of the dsDNA. Patient 2-49384 : There was no florescence in the drop because there was no dsDNA present. SNP Information & Primer Design Background: About the Disease SNP Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (also known as SNP) is a variation within the DNA sequence. This variation is common within the population, meaning it is prevalent in 1% of the population. SNPs are differences in only one DNA nucleotide. Nucleotides are the building blocks for DNA and are made up of a nitrogenous base, sugar, and phosphate. SNPs are typically found in non-coding regions of DNA leading to no visible results of this variation. While most SNPs have no effect on a person's health, they can in certain cases predict disease, response to drugs, and other clinical conditions. Primer Design and Testing When testing the DNA sequence of the rs16991654 gene, we looked at both the diseased and non-diseased primers. The forward primer, was the DNA sequence of the top strand read from left to right while the reverse primer was the DNA sequence of the lower strand of DNA read from right to left. When we tested the primers for the non-diseased DNA we found that it returned the sequence of the normal human DNA. When we tested the diseased DNA, no matches were returned. This is because the variation in this diseased DNA is not meant to be in a healthy genome; its a SNP. Sequence used for Forward Primer. To create diseased primer, the Thymine at the end was changed into a Cytosine. Sequence used for Reverse Primer. Sequence is to be read from right to left.
