Extract deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or perform diagnostic tests involving processes such as gel electrophoresis, Southern blot analysis, and polymerase chain reaction analysis.
Task automation exposure
Very low exposure
Exposure basis
[v4/median] score 8 (raw 8 | A 27 / B 5 / C 8 | modality: physical_primary) Automated liquid‑handling robots and PCR workstations can perform DNA extraction and PCR setup at professional quality, but gel electrophoresis and Southern blot still require manual bench work that is not widely robotized. (capable: Automated liquid‑handling platforms (e.g., Tecan Freedom EVO, Hamilton STAR) with integrated PCR thermocyclers)

How much of this task's output current AI can produce or substantially assist.
Best current model strength on any capability this task requires.
This is an assessment of technical feasibility plus published evidence - not a forecast. Even fully automatable tasks are often not automated, because of cost, verification, liability, regulation or the fact that the task is bundled with other work.
Occupations
