Isolation of Genomic DNA from Chicken blood or mouse tissues
● Hardy-Weinberg Genetic equilibrium: Study of gene & genotype; frequencies. (PTC Tasters & non tasters)
● Mendelian Traits : Straight hair, Curly hair, Widow’s peak, Dimpled Cheeks, Mid digital hair, Hitchhiker's thumb, Clasping of hands, and Hypertrichosis
● Phylogeny based on Amino acid sequences
● Correlation of amino acid sequence data with nucleotide sequence data (BLAST and FASTA)
● Separation and short term culture of lymphocytes
Dermatoglyphics : Recording of print of fingertips and palm. Classify ridges on the Finger tips arch, loop, and whorl. Palm print – area demark as hypothenar, the nar & inter digital read. Record presence or absence of Simian crease
