THE MACGYVER PROJECT: GENOMIC DNA EXTRACTION AND GEL ELECTROPHORESIS EXPERIMENTS USING EVERYDAY MATERIALS. Abstract:DNA extraction and separation by agarose gel electrophoresis is a simple and exciting process that anyone can perform.
However, the high cost of specialized equipment and chemicals often hinder such an experiment from being carried by members of the high school community. Here, we describe a cost effective way of extracting and electrophoresing DNA under a prescribed MacGyver limitation – that is using only materials available from a grocery store or shopping mall. In order to carry out this project, we decided to first divide the procedure into three specific sections, each to be addressed individually. Doing this, you find that the following challenges are present.
They are: (i) extraction of DNA, (ii) gel electrophoresis of DNA and (iii) visualization of DNA. Extraction of DNA in a Research Setting: In a conventional research setting, the first step in extracting DNA involves breaking open the cell’s membrane by using physical or chemical means.

We have made spiral snakes. We coloured them and cut them out. We hung some over the radiator, beside the window, and we hung others in the middle of the room. Some of our snakes became disco dancing snakes but the others became sleepy snakes. Can you guess which were which? That's right! The next experiment we tried was holding a table tennis ball over a hair dryer. Quickly). Non-Newtonian Fluid on a Speaker Cone. Science Toys.
