The aim of today's Lab practice is to run the products of a PCR reaction on a gel to visualise the inserts and backbones as they separate due to difference in mass.

===Polymerase Chain Reaction protocol===
+
==Materials and Protocol==
-
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique used to amplify a single or few a copies of a piece of DNA generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence.
+
Please refer to: [[Team:Newcastle/PCR| PCR]] for materials required and protocol.
-
# To avoid contamination, wear gloves
+
-
# To achieve optimum results, always do everything on ice
+
-
A basic PCR set up requires several components and reagents.These components include:
+
==Result==
-
#DNA template that contains the DNA region (target) to be amplified.
+
-
#Two primers that are complementary to the 3' (three prime) ends of each of the sense and anti-sense strand of the DNA target.
+
-
#Taq polymerase or another DNA polymerase with a temperature optimum at around 70 °C.
+
-
#Deoxynucleoside triphosphates, the building blocks from which the DNA polymerases synthesizes a new DNA strand.
+
-
#Buffer solution, providing a suitable chemical environment for optimum activity and stability of the DNA polymerase.
