Genetics Technology - PCR, DNA Sequencing, CRISPR, and Biotechnology

How do scientists copy, compare, read, and edit DNA? In this high school biology lesson, students explore the core technologies behind modern biotechnology and how they are used in real-world applications like forensics, medicine, and agriculture. This lesson introduces four major genetic technologies: PCR (polymerase chain reaction) for copying DNA, gel electrophoresis for comparing DNA fragments, DNA sequencing for reading genetic information, and genetic engineering tools like CRISPR for editing DNA. Students will learn how each technology works and how they are applied to identify pathogens, analyze genetic relationships, and develop treatments for genetic conditions. The lesson also examines the broader impact of biotechnology, including gene therapy and genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and explores the scientific and ethical questions surrounding these technologies. This lesson is part of MiaPrep’s Biology course.
