Run your DNA gels in 10 minutes!

The Science of Opioid Dependence Kit puts your students in the roles of doctor and researcher as they explore potential genetic links to opioid dependence. In this kit, your students will outline a human genetic research study; they will conduct gel electrophoresis on pre-amplified PCR patient DNA samples to determine whether a mutation in a human dopamine receptor gene influences opioid dependence. Your students will also consider environmental factors that contribute to dependence as a phenotype.

Features and Benefits

  • Curriculum connections to genetics, neurobiology, DNA structure, PCR, and statistical analysis
  • Pre-amplified PCR DNA samples to teach PCR without a thermal cycler
  • Five activities with optional timelines and branch points
  • Reagents and consumables for 8 lab stations (32 students)

Students will

  • Explore the links between opioid dependence, genetics, the neurobiology of reward pathways, and environment factors
  • Design a human genetic research study and experiments
  • Analyze pre-amplified PCR patient DNA samples by agarose gel electrophoresis
  • Review class and published allele frequency data with optional chi-square analysis
