This interactive module introduces the anatomy of the immune system and walks through the timeline of a typical immune response.

This video case study explores the approaches scientists used to identify a mutation that causes retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a progressive disease that leads to blindness.

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 explores niche partitioning, a mechanism that enables similar species of animals to coexist.

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 the phases, checkpoints, and protein regulators of the cell cycle. The module also shows how mutations in genes that encode cell cycle regulators can lead to the development of cancer.

This model shows the structure of the cancer drug Gleevec, which is used to treat chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).

This model shows the structure of the cancer drug dasatinib, which is used to treat chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).

This interactive module shows how DNA sequences can be used to infer evolutionary relationships among organisms and represent them as phylogenetic trees.

This tutorial describes the principles of DNA sequencing and sequence assembly, and shows how they apply to different sequencing techniques.

This tutorial describes how DNA microarrays called Virochips are designed to detect known viruses and discover new ones.

This tutorial describes the symbiosis between the Hawaiian bobtail squid and bioluminescent bacteria.
