This multipart activity is designed to give students a firm understanding of genetic profiling using short tandem repeats (STRs), which is a process used by forensics labs around the world.

This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study involving illegal elephant poaching. In this study, scientists used DNA profiling to determine where ivory seized from poachers had originated.

This interactive module allows students to use DNA profiling and related biological concepts to solve two cases of elephant poaching.

This interactive, modular lab explores the techniques used to identify different types of bacteria based on their DNA sequences.
