Name _________________________________
Points: _______/44
Please use this chart to assist you in categorizing the different techniques, stating whether or not the technique is currently used in the clinical
laboratory setting and any other special notes you might wish to add. You may use this “cheat sheet” for Exam 3.
Instructions:
1. Each item is worth 3 points each: 0.5 for Technique and Clinical Lab, 2 points for description.
2. Column 1, “Technique”, place an “” in the appropriate sub-column of the technique used: H=hybridization, S=sequencing , C=Cleavage
3. Column 2, “Clin Lab?” place a “Y” if this is used in the clinical laboratory, “N” for no.
4. Column 3, Briefly describe the technique. Provide enough information to assist you in selecting the correct answers on the exam.
