Gel electrolphoresis

 Gel Electrophoresis is what they use to sequence Dna.   They sequence the Dna by putting drops of it in the slits at the end the gel. then run a charge through the gel and after about half hour r so the positive charged Dna runs down the medium (gel) and any negative charged Dna moves opposite direction. In this lab i learned how to use gel electrolysis  to sequence Dna. Although we only used die.

In this movie it depicts a future generation of people that have become so over whelm on the technologies of being able to sequence genes in such a way that they can tell you what  diseases you may have and and what the possiablities of your life span are. Its kinda crazy to think a world like this is possible but in reality we are already starting to do this.  We can now have designer babies that you can pick  how smart your baby will be or have stronger babies.And all they need is a drop of your Dna.  Then By sequencing it they can tell you every thing you need to know about your self and your health. In future generations of these kids start to think this is the better way to go what will happen to the world we live in. So i would have to say what this movie depicts is very possible and might not be to far away.
