1. Do your background research so that you are knowledgeable about the terms, concepts, questions above. The NOVA webpage in the Bibliography (Groleau, 2000) has a "virtual" DNA fingerprinting experiment that you can run in your web browser, which is a fun way to get an overview of the procedure.
2. Before starting the experiment, read through all of the instructions in the Bio-Rad kit, and make sure that you have access to all of the necessary laboratory equipment. Note: If your school doesn't have the necessary equipment try contacting a local college or biotechnology company and asking if you could do your experiment there.
3. Follow the instructions in the kit to perform the DNA fingerprinting.
4. Your display board should explain how DNA fingerprinting works. Take a photograph of your gel to include on your display board.
