Venue/location:
DNALC Live: Virtual Museum Tour - Our GenomeDNALC Live: Virtual Museum Tour - Our Genome
When: 3:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Summary:
All living things have a genome, including us! Join Amanda for a tour of the Genome section of the DNA Learning Center’s Our Human Inheritance exhibit and learn the story of the human genome and some of our interesting genes.

DNALC Live: Backyard Bugs: The Amazing AntsDNALC Live: Backyard Bugs: The Amazing Ants
When: 4:00 pm - 4:15 pm
Summary:
Ants are seemingly insignificant creatures, often regarded as pests. Yet, beneath our feet, they form huge societies with complex social dynamics that play an important role in our ecosystem.

- DNALC Short: Transcription and Translation, DNALC Live: Using a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) to Predict Bitter Taste Ability, Part II
DNALC Short: Transcription and Translation
DNALC Short: Transcription and Translation
When: 12:00 pm - 12:15 pm
Summary:
Transcription and translation are two essential processes that all cells use in order to make proteins. Join us as we explore how the information in the DNA is used to make mRNA and how proteins are built.

DNALC Live: Using a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) to Predict Bitter Taste Ability, Part IIDNALC Live: Using a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) to Predict Bitter Taste Ability, Part II
When: 3:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Summary:
Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is a bitter substance that only certain people can taste. This three-part series will explore the genetics behind a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the taste receptor, TAS2R38, that affects an individual’s ability to taste PTC.

- DNALC Live: DNALC Short: DNA Packaging, DNALC Live: Species Shorts: Homo sapiens, DNALC Live: Meet the Scientist: Dr. Semir Beyaz, CSHL
DNALC Live: DNALC Short: DNA Packaging
DNALC Live: DNALC Short: DNA Packaging
When: 12:00 pm - 12:15 pm
Summary:
Within the eukaryotic nucleus, DNA and special proteins are packaged together to form nucleosomes, the basic repeating unit of chromatin. These dynamic chromatin structures help to regulate important cellular processes! Join Sharon Pepenella for a brief look inside the world of DNA packaging.

- DNALC Live: Invertebrate Biology Series: Coral Reefs, Part V, DNALC Live: AP Bio Chat - May 7, DNALC Live: Using a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) to Predict Bitter Taste Ability, Part III
DNALC Live: Invertebrate Biology Series: Coral Reefs, Part V
DNALC Live: Invertebrate Biology Series: Coral Reefs, Part V
When: 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Summary:
Coral reefs are some of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. Like terrestrial rainforests, reefs provide habitat for countless numbers of species from fish that utilize them as spawning grounds to marine turtles that stop by in search of food.

DNALC Live: AP Bio Chat - May 7DNALC Live: AP Bio Chat - May 7
When: 2:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Summary:
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.

DNALC Live: Intro to RNA-Seq with Jupyter, Part I
DNALC Live: Intro to RNA-Seq with Jupyter, Part I
When: 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Summary:
RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) is a widely used experimental approach in molecular biology. RNA-Seq allows us to measure the level of RNA in cells and tissues, and therefore make inferences about what genes are active, under what circumstances, and when.

When: 3:00 pm - 3:15 pm
Summary:
Have you ever wondered how it is that all of the cells in your body have the same DNA – the same set of instructions – but different types of cells can do different things?
