  1. DNA Fingerprinting Using PCR Timothy G. Standish, Ph. D.

  2. Polymorphism • Differences between humans can be attributed to two factors: • Environmental variation impacting development • Individual genes that vary between people • These genes which are variable are called polymorphic • Each person is genetically unique because of their unique set of polymorphic genes • All people are related in that the vast majority of their genes do not vary, but are identical from person to person

  3. DNA Fingerprinting • DNA fingerprinting involves identification of DNA segments which vary between individuals • A set of DNA fragments polymorphic enough to provide a unique set of fragments for all individuals, can be used to identify any specific individual in a population • No single fragment will uniquely identify an individual, just as no single polymorphic genetic trait will uniquely identify a person, but a unique set of polymorphic DNA traits/fragments can serve as a reliable means of identification

  4. Polymorphism In The TPA Gene • Tissue Plasminogen Activator (TPA) is a protein that functions in the cascade of reactions which break down blood clots • The gene contains 14 exons and 13 introns • Scattered within the introns are 28 Alu transposon sequences • Within intron 8 a single Alu sequence may be present, or it may be missing • Thus, as intron 8 varies with the presence or absence of Alu, it is polymorphic

  7. Components of a PCR Reaction • Buffer (containing Mg++) • Template DNA • 2 Primers that flank the fragment of DNA to be amplified • dNTPs • Taq DNA Polymerase (or another thermally stable DNA polymerase)
