4. You isolate DNA from 1 ml of a suspension of E. coli cells using the procedure outlined in your lab handout. After completing the DNA isolation procedure, the total volume of the DNA solution is 700 ul. You transfer 80 ul of this DNA solution into 720 µl of TE buffer to create a diluted DNA solution. Using a spectrophotometer, you determine that the concentration of the diluted DNA solution is 440 µg/ml. a. How much did you dilute the original DNA solution? Express the dilution as a ratio. b. What is the concentration of the original DNA solution? c. How much total DNA did you isolate from the suspension of E. coli cells? d. How much total DNA was present in the diluted DNA solution?

1) Briefly outline the steps of DNA extraction as carried out in a lab for the purposes of sequencing, with reference to a published protocol from a company that supplies regents and kits for DNA extraction (e.g Qiagen, ThermoFischer, Invitrogen, or similar). Please Include the weblink for the published protocol you used as a reference. (Word limits: 300) 2) Why was there a greater A260 absorbance reading for your DNA sample that was incubated at higher temperatures. (Word Limits: 100)
1. If you do an absorbance reading after plasmid purification and get a A260/A280 of less than 1.8, how could you further purify the sample to get rid of the protein contamination? Is it always necessary to have completely pure DNA? What are some cases where it would or would not be?
Watch the demonstration video on nucleic acid quantification on the NanoDrop spectrophotometer: https://cutt.ly/bio150dnaquantification Note: the video is entitled RNA but the method is identical for DNA quantification. 1. At what ratio of A260/280 can we say that DNA is pure? What about RNA and protein?2. While spectrophotometric methods are effective at detecting DNA, a more sensitive but expensive technique called fluorometry is used in sensitive applications. What is the principle behind fluorometry and why is it better than spectrophotometry in detecting DNA?

Visually compare the intensity of your team’s Plant-DNA sample with the intensity of the 3 kb band on the DNA ladder (see figure posted below). For example, if your Plant- DNA sample closely matches the 3 Kb band, this represents approximately 125 ng of total DNA. Divide the approximate mass (ng) of DNA in your sample by the volume loaded in the gel minus the loading dye added (i.e., 12 – 2 = 10 μL, since you loaded 12 μL from a 24 μL sample that contained 20 μL DNA prep + 4 μL loading dye. What is the DNA concentration of your sample? ______ng/μL
The concentration of your RNA solution is 1500 ng/μl. How much RNA solution do you need to use when you need to use 1 ug per RT-PCR reaction?
