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

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 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 allows students to use DNA profiling and related biological concepts to solve two cases of elephant poaching.

This interactive module explores key human impacts on the environment and how they have affected Earth’s landscape, ocean, atmosphere, and biodiversity.

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 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 the symbiosis between the Hawaiian bobtail squid and bioluminescent bacteria.

This tutorial describes how bacteria communicate by a process known as quorum sensing, as shown through a series of experiments involving genetically engineered bioluminescent bacteria.

This tutorial describes how neurons generate action potentials, and how scientists measure neuronal activity and record the firing of individual neurons.
