1 DNA Analysis “The capacity to blunder slightly is the
real marvel of DNA. Without this special attribute, we would still be anaerobic bacteria and there would be no music.” —Lewis Thomas, Physician, author

2 Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company
DNA Analysis Students will learn: That DNA is a long-chain polymer found in nucleated cells, which contain genetic information. That DNA can be used to identify or clear potential suspects in crimes. How DNA is extracted and characterized. How to apply the concepts of RFLP, PCR, and STRs to characterize DNA. The role that statistics plays in determining the probability that two people would have the same sequence in a fragment of DNA. Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company

3 Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company
DNA Analysis Students will be able to: Explain that DNA is a long molecule, tightly packed in the form of a chromosome with genetic material wrapped around it. Isolate and extract DNA from cells. Describe the function and purpose of a restriction enzyme. Calculate probabilities of identity using STR. Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company

4 Historical Information
James Watson and Francis Crick—1953 discovered the of the DNA molecule Ray White—1980 describes first polymorphic RFLP marker Alec —1985 isolated DNA markers and called them DNA fingerprints Kary Mullis—1985 developed PCR testing 1988—FBI starts DNA casework 1991—first STR paper 1998—FBI launches Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company

5 General DNA Information
Double —two coiled DNA strands Composed of nucleotides—units containing a sugar molecule (deoxyribose), phosphate group and a nitrogen-containing base In humans, the order of these bases is 99.9% the same. Four bases Adenine Cytosine Guanine Thymine Bases always pair and Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company

6 Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company
Where Is DNA Found? Genes are portions of DNA that code for specific proteins DNA is found in all nucleated body cells— Most abundant in buccal (cheek) cells Red blood cells have no nuclei; and therefore, no nuclear DNA DNA obtained from blood comes from white blood cells Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company

7 Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company
DNA Typing DNA typing is a method in which DNA is converted into a series of that ultimately distinguish each individual. Only one-tenth of a single percent of DNA (about 3 million bases) differs from one person to the next. Scientists use these regions to generate a of an individual. Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company

8 Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company
Non-Coding Regions 3 percent of the human DNA sequences code for proteins 97 percent is and is repetitive; repeating the over and over Commonly called Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company

9 Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company
Uses of DNA Profiling To identify potential To individuals To identify crime and casualty To establish To match organ donors Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company

10 Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company
FBI’s CODIS DNA Database Combined DNA Index System Used for linking serial crimes and unsolved cases with Launched October 1998 Links Requires >4 RFLP markers and/or 13 core STR markers Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company

11 DNA TYPING “Fingerprinting”
RFLP— PCR— STR— Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company

12 RFLP—Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms
Restriction are used to into smaller fragments that can then be and characterized for identification Isolate—separate DNA from the cell Cut—using restriction enzymes to make shorter base strands Sort—by size using electrophoresis Analyze—the specific alleles for identification Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company

13 PCR—Polymerase Chain Reaction
PCR is a technique used for making of a defined segment of a DNA molecule. This can be valuable when the amount of evidence is . Millions of copies of DNA can be made from a single speck of blood. Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company

14 Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company
Electrophoresis A technique used to separate DNA . An is moved through a gel substance causing molecules to sort by . The , lighter molecules will move the furthest on the gel. After developing, the fragments can be visualized for characterization. Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company

15 Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company
Electrophoresis Pipette the DNA. Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company

16 Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company
Electrophoresis Load DNA into the gel wells. Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company

17 Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company
Electrophoresis Run the gel. Observe and compare bands of DNA. Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company

18 Which suspect matches the bloodstain? C. Identical or not?
A. Who done it? Which suspect matches the bloodstain? C. Identical or not? Which sets of twins are identical twins? B. Whose your daddy? Which sample is most likely to be the father? F1 or F2 Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company

19 Short Tandem Repeats (STR)
STR is another method of DNA typing. STR’s are (loci) on the chromosome that contain of 2 to 5 bases that repeat themselves in the DNA molecule. The advantages of this method are that it provides greater discrimination, requires , a smaller sample size, and the DNA is less susceptible to degradation. Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company

20 Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company

21 Short Tandem Repeats (STR) Procedure
Extract the gene TH01 from the sample. (TH01 has seven human variants with a repeating sequence of A-A-T-G) Amplify the sample by means of PCR Separate by electrophoresis Examine the distance the STR migrates to determine the TH01 repeats Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company

22 Short Tandem Repeats (STR)
Each person has two STR types for TH01—one . By continuing the process with additional STRs from other genes, you can the probability of DNA belonging to only one probable person. Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company

23 Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company

24 Short Tandem Repeats (STR)
STR typing is visualized by . Each represents the size of the DNA fragment. The possible alleles are numbered for each loci. Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company

29 Determining Probability
Databases have been established that determine a particular allele on a loci appears in a given population. By increasing the number of alleles on different loci the probability of having two people with the exact combination becomes . Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company

30 Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company
Three Possible Outcomes —The DNA profile appears the same. Lab will determine the frequency. —The genotype comparison shows profile differences that can only be explained by the two samples originating from different sources. —The data does not support a conclusion as to whether the profiles match.
