WHO DONE IT??
Today we pretended to be crime scene investigators in 4th period by analyzing DNA (in this case, food coloring) through gel electrophoresis. Annie, from Cornell, explained how they match up suspect's DNA to that of DNA from a hair, blood, etc at a crime scene. Electrophoresis is a cool technique used to separate segments of DNA based on size, using an electrical charge.
