In the early 1990s, Stephen Fodor and his team developed a technique to produce miniature arrays of biological molecules. Their work led to the first DNA chip, and became the basis of techniques for large-scale genomic studies. The company Affymetrix was spun off in the early 1990s to focus on DNA...

This video, from G. Grant Welstead, Tobias Brambrink, and Rudolf Jaenisch of MIT's Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Massachusetts Institute of Technology explores how to generate iPS cells from Mouse Embryo Fibroblasts. The video is also accompanied by protocols for thawing and freezing...

As genetics and genomics research advances rapidly through the knowledge gained from the completed human DNA sequence, teachers and educators require new classroom tools to present the rich history, complexity and excitement of the world of genetics and genomics. These teaching resources include...

This PowerPoint tutorial is provided by Hartnell College and covers genetics. In this tutorial, users will learn important terms used in genetics, how to use a Punnett square to determine the outcome of a cross with one or two traits, and how to use the product rule to determine the outcome of a...

The consortium's mission is to bring functional genomic methods into undergraduate curriculum primarily through student research. As part of their mission, GCAT sponsors faculty workshops in DNA Microarrays and, more recently, Synthetic Biology. The consortium also provides a centralized chip reader...

This webinar, presented by Bio-Link on October 21, 2016, provides an overview of the CRISPR-Cas9 system, a cutting-edge technology in the medical device industry. Presenters Sandra Porter of Digital World Biology LLC and Thomas Tubon of Madison College discuss the CRISPR Cas9 system and its uses for...

In this activity, students will "analyze data detailing global energy sources and sinks (uses) and construct a diagram to show the relative scale and the connections between them. Discussions of scale, historical, socio-environmental and geographic variation in this data and implications for future...

Gordon and Mike's ICT Podcast offers perspectives on the information and communication technologies (ICT) industries from Gordon Snyder and Mike Qaissaunee. In this video podcast, Gordon interviews Elaine Johnson, the director of Bio-Link, which is an Advanced Technological Education (ATE) Center...

This page, from GreatScopes, offers a number of labs and experiments for teachers to incorporate microscope use into the classroom. The activities range from learning to prepare wet mounts and blood smears, to observing specific substances like yogurt and spider webs. There are also lessons on...

This video, provided by Digital World Biology, is from the 2022 Antibody Engineering Hackathon, an event where teams collaborated to develop Course-based Undergraduate Research projects (CURES) for students studying biotechnology. In this video, presenter Sandra Porter introduces the Hackathon and...
