2 Comparative genomics also has been used to identify recently mobilized transposons in genetically diverse humans. For example, over 600 recent transposon insertions were identified by examining DNA resequencing traces from 36 genetically diverse humans. Tbl 1 Which transposable elements are active in the human genome? (2007) Ryan E. Mills et al. Trends in Genetics 23: 183-191

3 DNA fingerprinting using RFLPs

4 Visualizing differences in DNA sequence by using restriction enzymes Sequence 1 Sequence 2

5 Restriction Enzymes cut DNA at specific sequences

6 Examples of some restriction enzymes…

14 Can DNA be obtained from hair?

15 How can DNA be obtained from such a small sample?

16 The inventor of PCR

17 Polymerase Chain Reaction: amplifying DNA

18 Fig 20.14 Polymerase Chain Reaction

19 Polymerase Chain Reaction: Primers allow specific regions to be amplified.

21 Areas of DNA from very small samples can be amplified by PCR, and then cut with restriction enzymes for RFLP analysis.

22 What is the largest scale experiment that is being currently performed?
