Question

Can anyone help me with this graph?
To confirm that the recombinant plasmids obtained were exactly what you wanted, you need to determine the DNA sequence of the PCR products found in several of the recombinant plasmids. To do this, you use the primer 5'-CACG-3'. You carry out a set of four dideoxy sequencing reactions that include template DNA, DNA polymerase, the appropriate buffer, and the radiolabeled DNA primer. In each reaction, you include all four deoxynucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) and a small amount of one of the four dideoxynucleoside triphosphates (ddNTPs).

Answer 1

this is the rest of the question: The sequence of the original gene is given again below. If the recombinant plasmid is carrying this sequence, drag and drop the first 12 bands to create the pattern expected for the sequencing reactions as outlined above. Use the dotted lines as guides. The lines are numbered 1-12 for placement of the 12 bands and represent the fragments from smallest to largest. then there is a DNA strand layout thing. As you can tell I'm very bad at biology. there is a graph with DDA, DDG, DDC,DDT on the horizontal axis and 1-12 on the vertical axis. I have to place a bar on the graph somewhere but I have no idea what i'm supposed to be doing.

Answer 2

it's asking you to determine the DNA sequence of the PCR products by means of the Sanger method (using ddNTPs).

Answer 3

you have the original sequence right? then just use the complementary sequence which was copied/amplified through PCR

Answer 4

Can you guys please elaborate? :/ I have the same question but I still dont understand what to do
