See more pictures of alternative fuel vehicles. You've probably heard about fuel cells. In 2003, President Bush announced a program called the Hydrogen Fuel Initiative (HFI) during his State of the Union Address.
Phenol-Chloroform Extraction. Purpose: Phenol-chloroform extractions are done when you need to purify DNA from a solution that also has proteins. The DNA will dissolve in the aqueous layer, and everything else will go into the non-aqueous layer.. Phenol:chloroform. 1  Add one equal volume of phenol:chloroform:IAA (found in 4C in room 263) to DNA solution. 2  The phenol:chloroform solution has two layers â be sure to take the bottom layer!!! 3  Mix gently; spin for 5 minutes at max speed. 4  Remove aqueous layer (top layer) to a new tube.
Extraction and purification of DNA are the first steps in the analysis and manipulation of DNA that allow scientists to detect genetic disorders, produce DNA fingerprints of individuals, and even create genetically engineered organisms that can produce beneficial products such as insulin, antibiotics, and hormones.
