During this lab we were decoding DNA sequences between Norm, Abby, Bob, and Carol to find any inconsistencies between the subjects (Abby, Bob, Carol) and the control (Norm) This is a graph showing the percent change between each of the subjects. Norm was the control having a "perfect" DNA sequence. Abby, Bob, and Carol all had some sequence error that caused a certain disease, or genetic disorder. The percent of similarity is how close their DNA sequence is to being "perfect." Your probably wondering how you can possibly know what someones DNA sequence is, right? Well you can easily find this out by taking a DNA sample and inserting it into a gel. After you put the sample in the gel you put it through a process called electrophoresis. The process will separate the DNA (pushing it to the positive) allowing you to read the sequence, ATG, CTC, and so on.
