Subject: SCI-402 General Biology
I. Activity Title:
“LAB Simulation - Virtual Bacterial Identification”
II. Objective:
The purpose of the lab is to familiarize you with the science and techniques used to
identify different types of bacteria based on their DNA sequence. Not long ago, DNA sequencing
was a time-consuming, tedious process. With readily available commercial equipment and kits, it
is now routine. The techniques used in this lab are applicable in a wide variety of settings,
including scientific research and forensic labs.
IV. Procedure:
Performing this experiment enable us to be familiarize with the science and techniques
used to identify different types of bacteria based on their DNA sequence. We are able to learn
performing in a virtual lab wherein we can do tasks using only our laptops. Also, we are able to
identify bacteria using DNA sequence. It also gives information about PCR (polymerase chain
reaction), how does it work and its use in identifying bacteria.
