Such was the dilemma facing scientists until the development of a process that has now become standard in many laboratories worldwide- gel electrophoresis. -Laboratories rely heavily on this proven and reliable technique for separating a wide variety of samples, from DNA used in forensics and for mapping genes, to proteins useful in determining evolutionary relationships. -In 1950 gel electrophoresis was invented. The process involves applying an electrical current to a gelatin-like substance containing biological samples. When mixtures of materials are placed within the wells of the gel and an electric current is applied, the molecules travel through the gel and separate from one another according to each molecule’s charge, size, shape. The gel acts as a type of molecule strainer and prevents all the molecules from moving too quickly. Smaller molecules typically mover through the gel at a faster rate than the larger ones. When the current is turned off, all the molecules are stopped within the gel. If a dye is added to the samples placed in the wells, individual groups of molecules can be identified by a distinct, colored band within the gel. When the distance each band (group of molecules) traveled is measured and compared to the other colored bands within the gel, the measurement can readily distinguish smaller molecules from larger molecules 13.2 LAB PROBLEM: Yesterday, there was a home break-in. No fingerprints were found at the scene but forensic investigators found multiple threads of what appears to be clothing. The thread’s colored was unable to be determined as it appears the clothing was also slightly burned, thereby affecting the ability to see the color. Since many clothing dyes are made from plants, the DNA can be extracted from the dye of the cloth and matched with the crime scene thread. Here is the list of suspects: 1-Dereck Simien – 49, Male, wore a green t-shirt at the time of the robbery 2-Jamie McDonald – 33, Female, wore an burnt orange hoodie at the time of the robbery 3-Martha Dougal – 34, Female, wore a blue denim coat at the time of the robbery 4-Louis Castillon – 20, Male, wore a red jacket at them time of the robbery 5-Scott Hackman – 25, Male, wore a K-State polo at the time of the robbery GEL ELECTROPHORESIS CLEAN 1- Gather needed materials and make sure working area is ______________ and ____________.

LEFT to #6 at the __________. RIGHT 4- Number the wells on the paper from #1 at the _______ 6 5- Withdraw ________microL of dye from each tube by filling only the needle tip of the pipet. 6- USE A CLEAN PIPET FOR EACH DYE SAMPLE TO AVOID CONTAMINATION. 7- Make sure you follow the data table for the correct dye in each numbered well. 8- Once all dyes have been transferred to the wells, NOTIFY YOUR TEACHER-The TEACHER will load your gel into the electrophoresis unit.
