This interactive module explores how CRISPR-Cas9 technology works and the many ways in which scientists are using it in their research.

This interactive module uses the central dogma as a model for exploring how modern molecular biology technologies can be used to treat different genetic conditions.

This interactive module explores how the process of eukaryotic gene expression is regulated, using the production of the enzyme lactase as an example.

This tutorial describes how bacteria communicate by a process known as quorum sensing, as shown through a series of experiments involving genetically engineered bioluminescent bacteria.

This tutorial describes methods used to detect when and where genes are expressed in cells and tissues.

This two-slide tutorial describes how genetic switches, regulatory elements in DNA, control gene expression.

This tutorial describes how RNA interference was discovered, how it works, and potential applications to treating disease.
