Thank you We sneak in Molecular genetics dna technology Allah

00:11

shmoop okay we're on next lesson Dna technology with dr

00:17

ruth tenant uh walk us through the various tools and

00:20

techniques that people used because it seems like dna technology

00:25

is beginning to quote play god in a lot of

00:27

different ways But but walk us through the techniques like

00:33

how do we how do we manage the expression of

00:36

james this way How do we use dna technology Yes

00:41

The one you want really important use of these sort

00:43

of dna arnie tools is to figure out how gene

00:45

expression changes in different cells and there's a bunch of

00:48

different ways we can do that One is through an

00:51

experiment more than block which basically involves doing electrophoresis on

00:55

already separating the ornate by size and then probing with

00:58

a radioactive probe snippet of dna that tells us Okay

01:02

well we see our jean here and not here basically

01:04

telling us the mara is president in this condition and

01:06

not another condition So that's one way of measuring the

01:10

depression And why would that be useful So let's say

01:14

that you had your comporting myself cancer cells and you

01:17

want to try to find a target that was increased

01:20

in expression in cancer cells You could do it that

01:22

way It's gotta be a drug target Okay that makes

01:25

sense Okay What's rt pcr Yeah Rt pcr So that

01:30

stands for reverse transcription followed by polymerase chain reaction So

01:36

yes kind Of mouthfuls three times the archie step The

01:39

reverse transcription basically means turning already back into today So

01:43

that kind of backwards from we learned before usually dna

01:45

get started already But there's n there enzymes called reverse

01:48

transcriptase is they can do the reverse No i thought

01:52

we couldn't parts in the reverse order They could only

01:55

go in one direction is special different And i think

01:57

that's normal Many memories can't do that But viruses like

02:01

hiv have a special inside and called reverse transcriptase unable

02:05

able to do that Okay All right What is Sit

02:08

two hybridization So inside you have realization yet so that's

02:13

basically a way of looking at where our days are

02:16

located inside of cells So rather than just looking at

02:19

expression levels you can see kind of locations of the

02:22

arnie's as well Cool Okay another five dollars worth dna

02:27

Micro array Yep So it's danny michael wright is kind

02:31

of a more advanced way of looking at um gene

02:34

expression So it's a little chip that you put little

02:37

teeny pieces of dna sticking off of that are kind

02:40

of the probes And then you basically can hybridize your

02:43

aura or some some dna version of your army onto

02:46

that chip And wherever it sticks that tells you oh

02:48

that particular arnie was present in the cell was just

02:51

another way to kind like a northern block but kind

02:53

of a more massive scale God and how does that

02:56

relate With r n a Sequencing Johnny was secreting of

02:59

kind of the most recent version Instead of having to

03:02

use specific probes you basically see what all our day

03:04

in a cell and you're able to do that quantitatively

03:06

so you can say oh there's more of this than

03:07

something else Got it Okay How do we use dna

03:13

technology What is rt pcr What is insight to hybridization 00:03:23.508 --> [endTime] What is it Dna micro array
