PCR and gel electrophoresis essential for diagnostic tests. DNA polymorphisms are best defined by frequency. Screening for DNA sequence differences is performed by direct sequencing or other techniques that are selected based on whether the mutation is known or unknown. • Introduction to gene transfer provides a framework for learning about gene therapy and methods for recombinant drug development.
