 Final Product: Extracting RNA/DNA from Mice’s Kidney

Product:
The DNA extraction from an inactivated animal tissue or
sample (kidney) encompasses a series of steps.

This method utilizes PCR or Polymerase Chain Reaction to

not only analyze how an infected sample looks like in the form
of a graph, but test for normal genes. In essence, it is a
Affect on the Tissue technique used to “amplify” small segments of genetic
material.

West Nile Virus Real-world Applications:

– Development of diagnostics and vaccines

– Used for a variety of molecular biology application
– Expansion of Knowledge about the characteristics of
West Nile Virus
Reasons Why I Chose this Product
• Extractions are one of the common procedures scientists/researchers
complete, and thus an essential technique to learn
• An engaging, interactive way to learn more about a mosquito-borne
disease
• Further expands our knowledge about the pathology of such a
disease – awareness
• Broaden scientific knowledge
Conclusion
• Product: RNA Extraction of Inactivated Mouse Sample
• Next Steps:
• Discover new research articles (from BCM) to further knowledge about product
• Ask mentor in-depth questions about the process of completing the extraction
• Take notes for the purposes of collecting valuable information about the
procedure(s).
• Experience:
• Learning about workplace culture and etiquette
• Exposing myself to new perspectives and ideas
• Stepping out of my comfort zone
Thank You!
