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 consists of a virtual Winogradsky column, which can be used to explore the diversity of microbes, microbial metabolic strategies, and geochemical gradients found in sediments.

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.

A number of questions are embedded within the short film The Origin of Species: The Beak of the Finch, which explores four decades of research on the evolution of the Galápagos finches.

This tutorial describes the structure and function of the cancer-causing protein BCR-ABL. It also shows how drugs targeting this protein can help treat chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), a cancer of the white blood cells.

This interactive, modular lab explores the evolution of the anole lizards in the Caribbean through data collection and analysis.

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 allows students to explore concepts related to speciation by identifying which birds belong to one of two finch species.

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