DNALC Live: Species Shorts: Australopithecus afarensis
DNALC Live: Species Shorts: Australopithecus afarensis
When: 1:30 pm - 1:45 pm
Summary:
You are the product of billions of years of evolutionary change! Join anthropologist Lindsay Barone to explore the hominins one-by-one in the DNALC Live series Species Shorts.
Venue/location:
DNALC Live: In Silico (On the Computer) DNA Restriction AnalysisDNALC Live: In Silico (On the Computer) DNA Restriction Analysis
When: 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Summary:
DNA and RNA encode information in the sequences of their nucleotide building blocks just as languages encode information in sequences of letters, words, and sentences. Bioinformatics uses information technology, such as computers and computer programs, to study the information in DNA and proteins. In this activity you will search for the entire genetic information of an organism (also known as a genome).

- DNALC Live: Tracking the Pandemic with Viral Strains, DNALC Live: Introduction to Mendelian Inheritance
DNALC Live: Tracking the Pandemic with Viral Strains
DNALC Live: Tracking the Pandemic with Viral Strains
When: 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Summary:
Empower yourself by learning how to navigate free, online tools that let you explore virus evolution and movement through DNA sequence analysis.

DNALC Live: Introduction to Mendelian InheritanceDNALC Live: Introduction to Mendelian Inheritance
When: 3:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Summary:
How are traits inherited from generation to generation? Join Megan in this introduction to Mendel’s laws of inheritance. By studying inherited traits in pea plants, we can understand how our own traits are passed down over generations.

When: 3:00 pm - 3:45 pm
Summary:
Recycle materials from around your house to create an imaginary creature! Before building, you will randomly select the sets of genes—also known as alleles—that your creature inherited from its parents.

- DNALC Live: Invertebrate Biology Series: Plant - Insect Interactions, Part III, DNALC Live: AP Bio Chat - April 23, DNALC Live: Studying Human Variation
DNALC Live: Invertebrate Biology Series: Plant - Insect Interactions, Part III
DNALC Live: Invertebrate Biology Series: Plant - Insect Interactions, Part III
When: 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Summary:
As we've seen in the previous entries of our Invertebrate Biology Series, the lifestyles of insects are often closely linked to plants. In fact, ever since their appearance 125 million years ago, flowering plants have diversified and developed alongside insects, leading to the incredible number of both species that we see today!

DNALC Live: AP Bio Chat - April 23DNALC Live: AP Bio Chat - April 23
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: Studying Human VariationDNALC Live: Studying Human Variation
When: 3:00 pm - 3:45 pm
Summary:
How do we study the differences between us without sequencing our DNA? Join DNALC instructor, Elna Gottlieb as she investigates variations in human traits through observation and analysis.

DNALC Live: RNA-Seq with DNA Subway, Part III
DNALC Live: RNA-Seq with DNA Subway, Part III
When: 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Summary:
RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) is a widely used experimental approach in molecular biology. Join Jason Williams for this three-part course to learn the basics of RNA-Seq and how to use the online platform DNA Subway to analyze an example data set.

DNALC Live: DNA DAY Story TimeDNALC Live: DNA DAY Story Time
When: 2:00 pm - 2:15 pm
Summary:
This is a short story about the life of an extraordinary scientist: Barbara McClintock. One of the few American women scientists who won a Nobel Prize, Dr. McClintock spent most of her life working at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and left behind many great memories here.
Venue/location:
DNALC Live: DNA Sequence - Paper Chain ActivityDNALC Live: DNA Sequence - Paper Chain Activity
When: 3:00 pm - 3:15 pm
Summary:
Although species share many similarities in their DNA, there are regions with differences in the order of the four DNA bases. These differences can be used to identify species! Construct a DNA paper chain “sequence” alongside Sharon during this fun and easy shelter-in-place science activity, just in time for DNA Day!
