Hhmi: Bio Interactive: Regulation of Eukaryotic Dna Transcription

DNA transcription finds regulation in a few different forms. Pupils learn about the activators, repressors, and the relationships with RNA through a short animation. After viewing the process with colors highlighting each step for...

Transcription happens in every cell, including plants, animals, and in all living matter. Observe the process of transcription through a slow and detailed animation of the process. With each step described in detail, viewers comprehend...

A double helix looks similar to a curled zipper. Viewers see transcription, which appears similar to unzipping the DNA. The basic level of detail works well as an introduction to transcription, RNA, and proteins.

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

A site full of information about DNA. Explore animations showing the details of DNA replications and transcription, view a lecture on DNA lab techniques, and look at online interactives to explore evolutionary relationships.

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.

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.

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]
