3. are highly similar and yet unique sequences of DNA that are used to identify humans by looking at the minute differences in their DNA In this exercise you will use several techniques to figure out if the DNA in any of the three samples matches up with the DNA of the unknown sample Due to the vast size of the human genome scientists have had to find several ways to fragment the DNA into smaller pieces so that they can work with it more easily One of these techniques is to use restriction enzymes In 1968 Dr Werner Arber at the University of Basel Switzerland and Dr Hamilton Smith at the Johns Hopkins University Baltimore discovered a group of enzymes in bacteria that when added to any DNA will break the sugar phosphate backbone bond within a specific sequence of nucleotide bases called a recognition site These enzymes cause the double strand of DNA to break within the recognition site and the DNA molecule becomes fractured into two pieces These molecular scissors or cutting enzymes are restriction endonucleases The two endonucleases you are going to use today are called EcoRI and Sspl The following figure depicts the recognition site of GenoSensor DNA Fingerprinting Kit GenoSensor Corp these endonucleases Since each individual s DNA is unique the fragmented DNA profile created by these two enzymes will be different for each person much like cutting out a paper snowflake EcoRI 5 GAATTC 3 REI C BATTC 3 3 C
