Polymerase Chain Reaction Protocols

PCR is the foundation for everything we will do ever so it's important to understand what it is. Below are some links on the basic principles and practice of pcr; as we begin our own protocols their specific steps will be recorded here.

I would start [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5yPkxCLads here] for a nice intro to the basic applications of PCR.

The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCR wikipedia page on PCR] is good; I would skip the sections on 'variants' and history. Also their page on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_cloning cloning genes into cells] is good, and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subcloning subcloning], all of which we'll probably end up using.

Malaria

The malaria group has found that malaria would be a poor target as the protazoan is never found in the water during its lifecycle. Our new target is typhoid or cholera.
