To develop our Model Builder web tool, BioInteractive worked with Jon Darkow, an educator in Ohio. This Q&A discusses the Model Builder development process and the features he's most excited about.
Antonio was born with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, a rare genetic condition that causes blisters all over his body and in his eyes. He was blind for much of his life but can see again after getting gene therapy eyedrops.
From climate change to species loss and pollution, humans have etched their impact on Earth with such strength and permanence since the middle of the 20th century that a special team of scientists says a new geologic epoch began then.
New research suggests humans lived in South America at the same time as now extinct giant sloths, bolstering evidence that people arrived in the Americas earlier than once thought.
Getting students engaged in learning about the cell cycle can be difficult. In this Educator Voices article, educator Kathy Van Hoeck describes how she uses cancer as an anchoring phenomenon to spark student interest.
The first gene therapy for a deadly form of muscular dystrophy received preliminary U.S. approval on Thursday despite concerns from some government scientists about the treatment’s ability to help boys with the inherited disease.
DNA is all around us — even in the air we breathe. Now scientists have found that air quality monitoring stations — which pull in air to test for pollution — also pick up lots of DNA that can reveal what plants and animals have been in the area.
HHMI BioInteractive is a proud collaborator on a new project that reimagines the original Crash Course Biology series. In this article, science communicator Hank Green discusses how this collaboration will deliver value for both students and teachers for years to come.
In this Educator Voices article, professor John Moore describes a "backwards" approach to teaching energy use in cells that traces the process from ATP in use back through glycolysis.
Britain’s fertility regulator on Wednesday confirmed the births of the U.K.'s first babies created using an experimental technique combining DNA from three people, an effort to prevent the children from inheriting rare genetic diseases.
