In this hands-on activity in our DNA Visitors' Lab, you will learn more about DNA analysis. In the course, tomatoes are chopped up and then the DNA of the tomato is released using lysis buffer and proteases, flocculated with alcohol and transferred to a vessel. Not only can you follow the everyday work of the researchers in the laboratory, but you can also learn interesting facts about cell biology, heredity and genetic engineering.
