The Detection of Mutations in Human Chromosome 8
| Division: | Health Sciences | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Durham | | City: | Pickering, ON | | School: | Pickering High School | | Abstract: | A multicolour barcode was established for human chromosome 8 to analyze the effect of radiation on cells. Fragments in chromosome 8 were coloured using a fluorescent probe combined with target DNA. This M-Band pattern was then used to determine the amount of radiation exposure (dose) that is harmful to cells. |
