Through animation, Fred Sanger's DNA sequencing technique is explained.

A series of lecture clips helps explain how DNA sequencing is done by using the analogy of shredding multiple copies of a book and then reassembling the text by finding overlapping fragments. The ultimate goal of DNA sequencing is to...

Get a feel for how to read a DNA sequence from several links located on this site.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has student find the level of similarity between two different-length strands of DNA. Connections to Djikstra's algorithm are mentioned, and students learn more to follow careful...

Peter Skewes-Cox, and Dr. Graham Ruby, both in the DeRisi lab, explain state-of-the-art DNA sequencing and bioinformatic technologies. [6:36]

An animation introducing how scientists use the unique DNA sequence called DNA barcode to identify each species of living thing. Understand the process used and the type of answers DNA barcoding can give us.

See how a polymerase chain reaction can produce millions of copies of a specific DNA sequence in a short period of time.

Genes are actually a specific sequence of DNA and they have a clear start and stop. Learn about the discovery and sequencing of genes at this site. This multimedia article includes animations, pictures, video, biographical information,...

Get an in-depth look at the genome which includes all genes, regulatory sequences, and other information found in noncoding regions of DNA. Articles on webpage explores the large amount of information available about genes and DNA...

Students reinforce their knowledge that DNA is the genetic material for all living things by modeling it using toothpicks and gumdrops that represent the four biochemicals (adenine, thiamine, guanine, and cytosine) that pair with each...

This lab illustrates how the order of nucleotides in DNA determines the order of amino acids in proteins. Relates DNA function to that of RNAand provides an exercise to demonstrate how mutations may occur. Includes a lesson plan and...

The DNA double helix contains two sequences of nucleotide code letters than run along the molecule. Untwist the spiral and DNA can be seen as two parallel strands. That's why its sometimes called the double helix. Unzip the strands and...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] DNA is located in the nucleus. Proteins are made on ribosomes in the cytoplasm. Remember that information in a gene is converted into mRNA, which carries the...

Article reports that the secret to differences in face-shape may be found in the non-coding sequences of DNA, also known as "junk" DNA.

Constructing phylogenetic trees may be a daunting task for young scholars, but this lesson plan is a simulation of what molecular biologists must do to determine relationships. This plan is for students who have a good grasp of DNA...

This is a basic animation of how DNA is structured.

Andrea M. Henle examines the science behind gene editing tools such as CRISPR.

An animated presentation depicting the Fred Sanger method of automated cycle sequencing reactions of DNA.

This site is provided for by DNA Interactive. The genome is the entire endowment of genetic information. It is the "Book of life," on an organism. This site demonstrates the methods used to map and sequence the human genome and to...

This article contains information on how DNA is repaired to prevent mutated damage from interrupting DNA processes.

A collection of JavaScript programs for generating, formatting, and analyzing short DNA and protein sequences. It is commonly used by molecular biologists, for teaching, and for program and algorithm testing.

Animated slide show demonstrates the genetic engineering process of DNA restriction.

Random Protein Sequence generates a random sequence of the length specified by the user. Random sequences can be used to evaluate the significance of sequence analysis results.

A new way of testing DNA samples uses a chip. This allows scientists to examine thousands of genes instead of just one at a time.
