A DNA Murder Mystery

Item: W-N20-1023

A fun way to learn about a topical, revolutionary technology! Teach your class about the latest innovations in DNA technology and their application to forensic science through the simulation of DNA fingerprinting and its application to a mystery. In the process, the class gains an understanding of how this technology capitalizes upon the individuality of gene expression. Given the completely reusable kit, the class is challenged to solve a murder by matching the "pop bead" DNA fingerprints of suspects versus samples collected at the scene of the crime. They'll learn the basics of DNA fingerprinting and why this revolutionary process is so highly accurate. In the process, the class becomes familiar with DNA structure and extraction, gel electrophoresis, and autoradiography. The activity may also be used to stimulate discussion of other "real world" applications of this cutting-edge technology as well as the ethical considerations involved. Class Size - 40 Students.
