DNA Model Forensic Studies/Geek Gift

DNA Model Forensic Studies/Geek Gift

SKU : 62060-22

This is our most basic DNA molecular model but it still shows all the important  details including complementary base pairs & major & minor grooves.

This DNA model has 22 base pairs which theoretically allow for nearly 10 million combinations. The image has been produced as a stereo pair; click on the image for an enlarged version & then cross your eyes to see it in 3D.  It stands 450mm or 18" tall.

This makes it quite useful for teaching the theory behind dna forensic fingerprinting, especially the touch DNA method. This technique flows from a refinement of the PCR (polymerase chain reaction) which now only requires 7-8 skin cells to identify someone.

Although the actual base pair sequences analyzed for DNA fingerprints are much longer than 22, students will appreciate that because the touch DNA method relies on 13 specific DNA locations, the overall chance of misidentification is very small.
