The DNA restriction analysis experiment demonstrates that DNA can be precisely manipulated and that it behaves as predicted by the Watson-Crick structure.
The College Board has announced that this year’s AP® Biology Exam will consist only of Units 1 – 6. The DNALC seeks to help students with content from Units 5 and 6, which pertain to molecular biology and genetics.
Many stories have been told about the Romanovs, the last royal family of Russia. During the Russian Revolution of 1918 the Romanovs went missing. It was determined that that the family was likely murdered...
- DNALC Live: What DNA Says About Our Human Family, Episode II, DNALC Live: Kitchen Science: Baggie Cell Model
DNALC Live: What DNA Says About Our Human Family, Episode II
DNALC Live: What DNA Says About Our Human Family, Episode II
When:1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Summary:
In Episode 2, our study of human evolution continues with a look at our ancient ancestors, the hominins. Who were they and what did they look like? We will look at DNA evidence for how modern humans evolved...
Cells are the building blocks of life. Join DNALC instructor Megan as she introduces the basic structure and function of the animal cell and walks you through the steps of building a cell model out of household materials.
- DNALC Live: DNA Barcoding Part I: Rapid DNA Isolation, DNALC Live: DNA Barcoding in Zoology and Conservation, DNALC Live: DNALC Chat, DNALC Live: Lactose Intolerance
DNALC Live: DNA Barcoding Part I: Rapid DNA Isolation
DNALC Live: DNA Barcoding Part I: Rapid DNA Isolation
When:11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Summary:
DNA barcoding allows for the identification of an organism through analysis of a short region of DNA within its genome, similar to how the pattern of bars in a universal product code (UPC) identifies each consumer product.
DNALC Live: DNA Barcoding in Zoology and Conservation
DNALC Live: DNA Barcoding in Zoology and Conservation
When:1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Summary:
Many species can be difficult and time consuming to identify through morphology alone, especially without specialized training and specific knowledge of taxonomy. DNA barcoding helps to level the playing field, offering an approach to species identification that provides non-experts a way to rapidly identify organisms!
The College Board has announced that this year’s AP® Biology Exam will consist only of Units 1 – 6. The DNALC seeks to help students with content from Units 5 and 6, which pertain to molecular biology and genetics.
Enzymes speed up chemical reactions, including the digestion of food. Lactase is an intestinal enzyme responsible for the digestion of the sugar lactose in milk. The production of lactase is an important part of the interesting evolutionary story of why some humans are lactose intolerant, and others are not.
- DNALC Live: Barcoding Bioinformatics Part III, DNALC Live: What DNA Says About Our Human Family, Episode III, DNALC Live: Bacteria and Antibiotics
DNALC Live: Barcoding Bioinformatics Part III
DNALC Live: Barcoding Bioinformatics Part III
When:11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Summary:
This three-part series will take you through the bioinformatics of DNA barcoding using the DNA Subway Blue Line (https://dnasubway.cyverse.org/). Bioinformatics – the data science of biology – is crucial to understanding life.
DNALC Live: What DNA Says About Our Human Family, Episode III
DNALC Live: What DNA Says About Our Human Family, Episode III
When:1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Summary:
The last episode of our study of human evolution looks at an enigmatic “jumping gene” and how it can be used to study the dynamics of human populations.
Since their discovery in 1928, antibiotics have saved millions of lives from fatal bacterial infections. Join DNALC instructor Erin as she explores the role that antibiotics play in the treatment of bacterial infections.
