Welcome back

Today we'll kick off a series of lab days where we'll have the opportunity to work directly with DNA and some of the mechanisms controlled by it. Working with DNA requires a few new lab skills that we'll learn and practice today.

- Micropipette skills: measuring very small volumes with great precision.

- Centrifuge protocol: Using a centrifuge for separating solution components by density. Also useful for mixing together small drops of reagent.

- Loading gel electrophoresis - using a micropipette to load samples into an agarose gel.

- Setup and running of electrophoresis boxes for the sorting of DNA by size.

... We'll also introduce our first Biotec lab: transformation of bacteria using the pGLO plasmid.
