| Description |
Collection Description The resources in this collection are intended to help students learn about molecular biology processes, including: DNA extraction, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), and Gel Electrophoresis. Using these techniques students can learn about phenotypes, genotypes, alleles, genes, inherited conditions, forensics, and many other topics dealing with molecular biology. Describe how this collection was used. This collection can be used in the lab to teach molecular biology; from DNA extraction to PCR to Gel Electrophoresis. Describe who used this collection (classroom, laboratory, education level, etc). This collection can be used by teachers who are teaching General Biology, AP Bio, Honors Bio, A & P, and any other Biological Science. Describe how this collection works. This collection will follow the main process in molecular biology from DNA extraction to PCR (making copies of targeted genes), and Gel Electrophoresis (visualizing the DNA). Please enter suggestions for colleagues. If teachers have the resources (time and money), the Samples to Sequences resource has the complete materials list and protocol for extracting DNA and sequencing a specific gene from a variety or source | |||

A very good collection of resources especially the virtual lab and wet lab. I am sure it will be very useful for students to understand the basics of genetics and molecular biology.
—Muhammad Adnan Kanpurwala, Karachi Institute of Medical Sciences
The teaching collection is a wonderful resource for introducing students to basic genetic tools in use today. The four items are diverse in their approach and the type of resource. Regardless of whether you have a genetics lab already set up or no equipment at all, you will fine interactive activities that you can use with your students. THe wet lab has complete instructions and accompanying materials to help students really understand DNA barcoding. If you need resources more suitable for a non-lab environment, there are plenty to choose from that are user friendly.
