Hhmi: Bio Interactive: Dna

This curriculum guide assists in filtering through the vast available resources from BioInteractive and HHMI and organizes the material according to various topics related to DNA, including DNA structure, replication, and repair.

A menu of video animations of DNA replication, transcription, structure, sequencing, and related topics.

Through this series of lecture videos, the creator of the Virochip technology explains how the chip detects viruses using synthetic DNA and how this technology can be useful in the medical field.

Observe a scientist describe the process used to extract DNA from a cell and to analyze it on a gene chip. [1:41]

An interactive virtual lab that allows students to isolate, copy, sequence and identify bacterial DNA. Excellent supporting information and resources for teachers and students.

Once the structure of DNA was discovered, the next challenge was determining how the sequence of letters coded for the 20 amino acids could make protein. In theory, one or two letters can only code for 4 or 16 amino acids, respectively....

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

General transcription factors, activators, and repressors interact to regulate the transcription of eukaryotic DNA into RNA. [2:05]

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...

This app will help students "learn about the science and techniques used to identify different types of bacteria based on their DNA sequences".
