Title: Perform nucleic acid sequencing procedures.
Course: Biomedical Technician (14900) > Section: Performing Molecular Biology Techniques

Performing nucleic acid sequencing procedures includes an explanation that DNA sequencing is the laboratory procedure for determining the order of the nucleotides in a strand of DNA. The demonstration consists of the most commonly used technique of chain termination sequencing, including DNA synthesis, gel electrophoresis, and DNA detection.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is the purpose of DNA sequencing? How is the resulting information used?
- How does the science of genetics pertain to inherited traits?
- How is a recessive trait demonstrated in an individual?
- Why is it important to analyze DNA molecular differences?
