The height of the camera should be adjusted so that it takes in the drop from the side. This can be altered using trays. After the correct height is found, the camera should be moved at least 4 cm away from the drop, so long as the image is not blurry. Distance between the smart phone cradle and drop = 4 centimeters Solutions Used for Calibration 2x Calf Thymus DNA Solution (μg/mL) Volume of 2x Solution (μL) Volume of SYBR Green I Dye Solution (μL) Final DNA Concentration (μg/mL) 5 80 80 2.5 2 80 80 1 1 80 80 0.5 0.5 80 80 0.25 0.25 80 80 0.125 0 80 80 0 Placing Samples onto the Fluorimeter Pipette 80 μL of SYBR GREEN I dye in the center of the first two rows of the slide. Add 80 μL of 2x calf thymus solution on top of the SYBR GREEN I drop. Move the slide so that the 160 μL drop is directly aligned with the blue LED light. Take three images using the camera phone. Carefully remove the slide from the box. Using the pipette, suction the 160 μL of solution off the slide. Repeat steps 1-6 for each concentration of 2x calf thymus DNA solution, each time using a new pipette tip.

We then just used the best-fit line of the example calibration curve provided in the lab workbook.

When a drop of the sample was added into the SYBR Green I, it turned a shade of light green. Patient 74312: The concentration of this patient's sample was an average of 0.27 μg/mL. When a drop of the sample was added into the SYBR Green I, it seemed to have no effect as no visible color change occurred. Conclusions Patient 96107: The patient's sample was closer to the positive control value. This means that the patient does have the disease because the genetic sequences being tested is similar to the positive control when being amplified. Patient 74312: The patient's sample was close to the negative control value. This means that the patient does not have the disease because the genetic sequence being tested is similar to the negative control when being amplified. SNP Information & Primer Design Background: About the Disease SNP SNP, or single nucleotide polymorphisms, are point mutations in the genetic sequence in which a single nucleotide, or one base unit within DNA, is altered. These can be silent (have no visible effect) or cause something as deadly as cancer. The gene in question is the KCNE2 gene, which is associated with Long QT syndrome. Located on the 21st human chromosome, this pathogenic gene is caused by a SNP. The point mutation is a simple switch of a thymine nucleotide to the cytosine nucleotide. The KCNE2 gene regulates potassium voltage gated channels, and can affect everything from neurotransmitter release to muscle construction to heart rate. Primer Design and Testing To design primer pairs for PCR, the non-disease forward primer contains 20 bases and ends with the aforementioned disease codon. The reverse non-disease primer also contains 20 bases, and is found 200 base pairs to the right on the bottom strand. To create disease primer pairs, the single nucleotide polymorphism is applied to the appropriate nucleotide in the forward primer; in this case, it is the thymine nucleotide. The reverse primer does not change when diseased. These are screenshots of the web search results through the UCSC In-Silico PCR site. This is the non-disease forward and reverse primer search. This is the disease forward primer with the non-disease reverse primer search.
