China has begun to tightly regulate its food production after many reports of food scandals. To target the question regarding the authenticity of Chinese beef jerkys, our experiment focuses on the specific question: “Is Chinese beef jerky really beef?”. It was predicted that the beef jerky may contain other organisms. 20 beef jerky samples, along with 3 control samples consisting of pork, chicken, and beef, were tested through the process of DNA extraction, PCR and gel electrophoresis. The PCR product was sent to GENEWIZ lab to be sequenced. The sequence was blasted on DNA Subway to be compared to known organism sequences to determine if the sample sequences matched Beef. Through DNA Subway, we were able to determine that the beef jerkys were indeed beef (.
