This protocol should be used with the miniPCR BlueGEL electrophoresis system, which qualified teachers can request through the BOEC lending program.

DNA fingerprinting is a technique used in biotechnology laboratories to establish links between various samples of DNA. These samples would likely be taken from several different sources and compared to see if – or how well – they match. Scientists are able to determine relationships among the sources of DNA depending on the results of the “fingerprint” using gel electrophoresis.
