Function and Applications

Molly the Labradoodle has surprised you with a litter of puppies! In this lab, students use gel electrophoresis to track the inheritance of a single trait, and use their findings to determine the most likely father of Molly's puppies.

Benefits

Combination of Mendel's genetics with molecular genetics
Exciting experiment to determine paternity
Easy to perform in a school lesson with up to 8 student groups
Little preparation time
DNA samples can be pipetted into the gel directly

Equipment and Technical Data

DNA samples for paternity testing, for 8 student groups or 8 gels
With DNA ladder for determining the size of the individual bands, 150 µl
Simulated DNA from 8 puppies, 150 µl each
Detailed user manual for teachers and students

Transport at room temperature, storage under -18°C. Use within 1 year.
