This video follows an international team of researchers as they collect data to map migratory bird populations in the US and Mexico.

This video follows germplasm bank coordinator Cristian Zavala Espinosa and geneticist Sarah Hearne, who are part of the global effort to preserve the genetic diversity of maize (corn).

This video follows biologist Elinor Karlsson, who studies dogs to find genes associated with traits, including certain diseases.

This animation shows how mutations in an ion channel protein lead to the genetic disease cystic fibrosis. The animation also discusses how research on this protein has been used to develop treatments for the disease.

This video describes the technology of metabarcoding, which allows scientists to determine herbivore diets based on the sequences of plant DNA extracted from animal dung.

This animation describes how skin color is generated by skin cells as protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

This video explores how advances in DNA sequencing technology have improved cancer diagnosis and treatment.

This animation shows how a single species can give rise to many different species with distinct traits, using anole lizards as an example.

This film explores four decades of research on the evolution of Galápagos finches, which has illuminated how species form and diversify.

This film explores the adaptation of anole lizards (genus Anolis) to habitats common across the islands of the Caribbean. The anoles are excellent examples of adaptive radiation, convergent evolution, and speciation through reproductive isolation.

This animation shows how HIV infects a cell and replicates itself using reverse transcriptase.

This animation describes how only a small part of the human genome directly codes for proteins.
