Title: Perform restriction digests.
Course: Biomedical Technician (14900) > Section: Performing Molecular Biology Techniques

Performance should include

- adding enzyme to DNA to slice the gene sequence at a specific point
- timing the procedure
- washing off the reagent
- analyzing the end result.

Process/Skill Questions:

- How is the specific point of the gene sequence determined for a certain trait?
- Why does the lab technician need to use an enzyme to slice a small portion of the DNA?
- What are the steps involved in the process of restriction digests?
- What is the application of restriction digests?
