All tubes have the same forward primer and the reverse primer A strip of empty PCR tubes Disposable pipette tips: only use each once. Never re-use disposable pipette tips or samples will be cross-contaminated Cup for discarded tips Micropipettor Open PCR machine:shared by two groups Thermal Cycler Program PCR Reaction Sample List Tube Label PCR Reaction Sample Patient ID G33 + Positive control none G33 - Negative control none G33 1-1 Patient 1, replicate 1 31366 G33 1-2 Patient 1, replicate 2 31366 G33 1-3 Patient 1, replicate 3 31366 G33 2-1 Patient 2, replicate 1 26606 G33 2-2 Patient 2, replicate 2 26606 G33 2-3 Patient 2, replicate 3 26606 DNA Sample Set-up Procedure 1.

DNA/ primer Mix Component 1 Component 2 Component 3... OpenPCR program The following values will be used to run a heating and cooling program on the thermal cycler. Heated Lid: 100°C Initial Step: 95°C for 2 minutes Number of Cycles: 35 Denature at 95°C for 30 seconds, Anneal at 57°C for 30 seconds, and Extend at 72°C for 30 seconds. Final Step: 72°C for 2 minutes Final Hold: 4°C Section Two: Research and Development PCR - The Underlying Technology Functions of a PCR Reaction Template DNA: a sample of DNA that contains the targeted sequence Primers: short pieces of single-stranded DNA that are complementary to a targeted sequence, allows polymerase to begin synthesizing new DNA Taq Polymerase: a heat stable enzyme used in PCR to amplify DNA segments Deoxyribonucleotides (dNTP’s): single units of nucleotides (A, G, T, and C), building blocks for new DNA strands The Process of Thermal Cycling Initial Step: 95 ℃ for 3 minutes, heated to near boiling Denature: 95 ℃ for 30 seconds, the DNA double helix separates to create two separate strands of complementary DNA Anneal: 57 ℃ for 30 seconds, primer sequences bond to DNA to keep them from rejoining Extend: 72 ℃ for 30 seconds, the DNA polymerase enzyme is activate and complementary nucleotides are added to the separated DNA strands Final Step: 72 ℃ for 3 minutes, bonding is secured Final Hold: 4 ℃, DNA is kept at a cool temperature Base-Pairing DNA is made up of four different nucleotides: adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine. These four components are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. Adenine is paired with thymine by double hydrogen bonds, and guanine and cytosine are paired by a triple hydrogen bond. Base-pairing occurs during annealing and extending in thermal cycling. During annealing, the newly denatured DNA wants to go back to it's original shape of a double helix.Only the most stable strands can do this since they are the desired ones and then they get paired off there. During extending, the DNA polymerase connects at the primers and bonds in the 5' to 3' direction, which is by definition the bonding of the base pairs.
