- 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 ConservationDNALC 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!

DNALC Live: Lactose IntoleranceDNALC Live: Lactose Intolerance
When: 3:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Summary:
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.
