Equipment Training WorkshopsThese workshops are held at Cornell University to train and update alumni in the use of the CIBT DNA or Protein Kits. Participation qualifies you to borrow the related equipment from CIBT’s Equipment Lending Library. Breakfast, lunch, and in-service credit are provided. Using Protein Gel Electrophoresis to Study EvolutionDate: Saturday, April 25, 2009 In-Service Hours: 6.5 Please note that this workshop can only accomodate ten participants. This session will allow participants to gain experience in protein gel electrophoresis and molecular evolution. For CIBT alums, this workshop will certify you to borrow the protein electrophoresis kit which provides almost everything that you need to do the lab. During this lab, samples of animal tissue (meat) are separated by size using SDSpolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). PAGE is a powerful analytical technique having numerous applications in modern biology. Evidence for evolutionary relatedness amongst organisms can be determined using this technique. Suggested organisms to compare include various fishes, mammals, poultry and/or sea foods, all of which are available from the grocery store. During the laboratory, your students will develop an experimental design, prepare samples of muscle tissue from various organisms, observe the process of electrophoresis and analyze their results. Analysis consists of comparing protein bands according to their molecular weights on the gel.
