I presented investigative research that I conducted under the direction of Dr. Teresa Singleton. The research is aimed toward understanding the mechanisms involved in target site selection of Tf1, a LTR Retrotransposson, in S. pombe. An experimental technique called Chromatin Immunoprecipitation-Polymerase Chain Reaction (ChIP – PCR) will be used. The preliminary phase of ChIP-PCR is the testing of PCR primers to amply Tf1 insertion regions. My contribution to the research was to test the primers.
Biotechnoly II | BIO3335
Protein analysis was evaluated on the Taq DNA polymerase. Isolation and analysis or RNA was completed followed by gene expression and protein analysis.
