    DNALC Live: Webinar: Teaching Biotech from a Distance - DNA barcoding in a regulated environment

    DNALC Live: Webinar: Teaching Biotech from a Distance - DNA barcoding in a regulated environment

    When: 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

    Summary:

    DNA barcoding is a popular technique for undergraduate research projects. In this webinar, Dr. Linnea Fletcher (Austin Community College, InnovATEBIO) will describe how this technique can be adapted for use in biotechnology education programs by incorporating principles of working in a regulated environment such as GMPs (Good Manufacturing Practices).
