Announcements:

POSTED 04-15-08: We have one field trip scheduled for spring quarter.  On Tuesday May 20th we will travel to Tacoma to visit a clinical microbiology lab. WE NEED STUDENTS TO DRIVE VANS FOR THIS TRIP. TO DRIVE A STATE VEHICLE YOU MUST TAKE A SHORT TRAINING AND PASS A COMPUTERIZED EXAM.  TRAINING TIMES CAN BE FOUND BY CALLING THE MOTOR POOL AT 867-6354.

The PCR Song Link
There was a time when to amplify DNA,
You had to grow tons and tons of tiny cells.

Then along came a guy named Dr. Kary Mullis,
Said you can amplify in vitro just as well.

Just mix your template with a buffer and some primers,
Nucleotides and polymerases, too.

Denaturing, annealing, and extending.
Well it's amazing what heating and cooling and heating will do.

PCR, when you need to detect mutations.
PCR, when you need to recombine.
PCR, when you need to find out who the daddy is.
PCR, when you need to solve a crime.
