This four-part animation series explores the biology of the virus SARS-CoV-2, which has caused a global pandemic of the disease COVID-19.

This activity allows students to model how the anti-HIV drug AZT (azidothymidine) interferes with the process of viral replication.

In this hands-on activity, students model how a double-stranded DNA copy of the HIV genome is integrated into the host cell DNA.

This animation shows how dengue virus infects a cell and replicates itself with the help of its host’s cellular machinery.

This animation shows how a medication called AZT, which is a reverse transcriptase inhibitor, can be used to treat HIV/AIDS.

This animation describes a genetic engineering technique called DNA cloning, which can be used to make bacteria express a foreign gene, typically from another species.
