OUR TEAM Name: Justin Blommer Name: Ethan Mathew Name: Spencer Cobb Name: Sarah Jones Name: Abigail Rene LAB 5 WRITE-UP Procedure Smart Phone Camera Settings Type of Smartphone: Samsung Galaxy S5 Flash: Off ISO setting: N/A White Balance: N/A Exposure: N/A Saturation: Maximum Contrast: Mininum Calibration The flourimeter was placed on top of the white plastic tray in order to achieve an ideal camera angle. The camera was adjusted to the above settings with a timer delay of 5 seconds. This allowed ample time to place the cover on and for the camera to refocus to the darker lighting. The camera was inserted in the center of the cradle, which was then placed on top of a small book and table to align with the height of the flourimeter. The angle obtained was as close as possible to level with the slide. The camera was placed as close as possible to the tray without sacrificing image quality. Distance between the smart phone cradle and drop = 5.9cm Solutions Used for Calibration Initial Concentration of 2X Calf Thymus DNA solution (μg/mL) Volume of the 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 0.5 0.5 80 80 0.25 0.25 80 80 0.125 0 80 80 0 Placing Samples onto the Fluorimeter Once camera and flourimeter set up is complete, switch the flourimeter light to the "on" position. Insert the slide, with the rough, hydrophobic side facing up. Adjust its position so that the flourimeter light is focused between the first two rows of dots. Adjust the micropipettor to 80μL and insert a clean tip. Draw 80μL of SYBR Green solution and place it between the center two dots on the row where the light is focused. It is very important to dispense the solution slowly and precisely to ensure the drop maintains intact and centered on the slide. Discard the tip and replace with a clean one. Draw 80μL of the DNA sample to be tested and dispense it directly onto the SYBR Green solution drop on the slide. Again, dispense slowly and ensure the combined dot remains centered on the slide. Verify the camera angle and focus is still correct. After pressing the shutter button (to begin the timer countdown), cover the flourimeter and camera immediately to ensure that no outside light is allowed into the picture. Once the image has been captured, remove the box cover from the flourimeter. Make certain that the image is of good quality and not excessively blurry or dark. Using the micropipettor, transfer the solution from the slide into a biohazard waste collection container. Adjust the slide to the next position and repeat Steps 3-9 for the remaining samples. Data Analysis Representative Images of Negative and Positive Samples Negative Control Positive Control As per lab TA instructions, the edges of the samples are left out of the selection because they are the saturated points where the light is entering and exiting the sample drop. Therefore, they are not an accurate representation of the fluorescence of the sample.

The image of the drop was almost completely a dark blue color. There was a lighter color on both edges, but this was only from the fluorimeter light entrance and exit paths through the sample. Once Patient 11105's images were split by color in the ImageJ program, the green channel sample was extremely dark. This indicates that there was a minute amount of green light fluorescing in the sample. Replications 1, 2, and 3 returned Initial PCR Product Concentrations of 0.907446 μg/mL, 2.045264 μg/mL, and 1.351318 μg/mL, respectively. Patient 22923 (Patient 2): The samples of Patient 222923's DNA also fluoresced very little green in the flourimeter. This patient's samples also was a dark blue color, with lighter blue edges. When Patient 222923's sample images were split using ImageJ, the green channel was slightly brighter than Patient 11105, but still very dark in general. This indicates that there was a very small amount of green light fluorescing in the sample. Replications 1, 2, and 3 returned Initial PCR Product Concentrations of 3.342591 μg/mL, 2.258088 μg/mL, and 2.54947 μg/mL, respectively. Conclusions Patient 11105 (Patient 1): Patient 11105's three replicates had an average Initial PCR Product Concentration of 1.434676 μg/mL. This puts it well below the positive control concentration of 13.2984 μg/mL, and much closer to the negative control sample's concentration of 2.09312 μg/mL. Therefore, it can be concluded that Patient 11105 does not carry the disease gene. Patient 22923 (Patient 2): Patient 22923's three replicates had an average Initial PCR Product Concentration of 2.716716333 μg/mL. This puts it below the positive control concentration of 13.2984 μg/mL, and much closer to the negative control sample's concentration of 2.09312 μg/mL. Therefore, it can be concluded that Patient 22923 does not carry the disease gene. SNP Information & Primer Design Background: About the Disease SNP Nucleotides are organic molecules that serve as the monometers, also known as subunits, of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA. A polymorphism is when there is a variation in a DNA sequence where one nucleotide in the genome differs between paired chromosomes. For example, when an adenine nucleotide is paired with a guanine. A common SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) is the rs268. This variation is commonly found in the homo sapien species. It is located on the 8:19956018 chromosome and clinically classified as a pathogenic polymorphism. The rs268 is associated with the LPL gene. It is associated with many major diseases, including metabolic conditions, heart attack, strokes, and high cholesterol. Rs268 is a lipoprotein lipase, known as LPL for short. An allele is simply a variant form of a gene. In the rs268 SNP, the AAT (non-diseased) gene is modified to the AGT (diseased) variant. The numerical value of the position of the SNP in the human genome is 19956018. Primer Design and Testing The diseased primer returned a result of "no match found" when run through the primer test because a healthy human genome does not possess this mutation (AGT). The human genome, does however, produce the healthy non-diseased primer (AAT), which did successfully return a result when run through the primer test. Non-Diseased Primer Diseased Primer
