PCR relies on components of DNA Replication Each strand of the
helix must be copied in complementary fashion by DNA polymerase
•Each strand is a template for copying •DNA polymerase requires
template and primer •Primer: an oligonucleotide
that pairs with the end of the
template molecule to form dsDNA •DNA polymerases add nucleotides in
5'-3' direction

PCR Amplification Steps Reactants: Primers dNTPs Template DNA Heat
stable DNA Polymerase

Application Example of method Typing genetic markers Restriction
fragment length polymorphism
(RFLP) Detecting point mutations PCR (RT-PCR)
Genomic DNA cloning PCR from single cell or isolated genomic
DNA
DNA sequencing PCR with ddNTPs
In vitro mutagenesis PCR with primers with incorporated
mutation
Gene expression studies RT-PCR
Examples of Inherited Disorders Detectable by PCR Disease Affected
Gene
Adenosine deaminase deficiency Adenosine deaminase (ADA)
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase
(HGPRT)
α-1-Antitrypsin deficiency α-1-Antitrypsin
Fabry disease α-Galactosidase
Gaucher's disease Glucocerebrosidase
Tay-Sachs disease Hexosaminidase A
Maple syrup urine disease branched-chainα-keto acid
dehydrogenase
Phenylketonuria (PKU) Phenylalanine hydroxylase
Retinoblastoma (Rb) RB gene product, pRB
Sickle-cell anemia point mutation in β-globin
β-Thalassemia mutations in β-globin gene that result in loss of
synthesis of protein
Hemophilia A Factor VIII
Hemophilia B Factor IX
Gel Electrophoresis
Molecules migrate according to size and shape What contributes to
the size and shape of nucleic acids?
Or staining with Ethidium
ddNTPs
are additionally modified with a fluorescence probe (unique to each
nucleotide)

Hybridization •
Using a probe on a complimentary strand to identify the nucleic
acid of interest
17
Does an organism have a particular DNA/RNA sequence (alternatives
to PCR)?
PCR is one way using two specific primers – another technique is
the Southern Blot (DNA) and nothern blot (RNA)
18
19
20
A non specific probe that hybridizes to multiple sites (CAG)5
This is one way to solve paternity cases Or identify DNA in trace
evidence
21
Does a protein bind to a particular DNA/RNA sequence? Gel mobility
shift assay

We need to know what the genes are in order to functionally
characterize the gene product.
