Students explore Sickle Cell Disease through the real story of Adrienne Shapiro’s family, using PCR, restriction digest, and gel electrophoresis to determine each member’s hemoglobin genotype. While the individuals are real, the experiment is a simulation and does not use their actual DNA.
This lab was made possible by funding from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), a state of California Agency that funds regenerative medicine, stem cell, and gene therapy research.
