This tutorial describes the structure and function of the p53 protein, how its activity is regulated in cells, and how mutant versions of p53 can lead to cancer.

This animation shows how mutations can arise when DNA is damaged.

This animation explores the genetic causes and biological effects of sickle cell disease.

This animation shows how a tumor forms, recruits blood vessels, and enters metastasis.

This animation shows how errors in DNA replication can lead to expanding sections of repeating nucleotides.

This animation shows how meiosis, the form of cell division unique to egg and sperm production, can give rise to sperm that carry either an X or a Y chromosome.

This animation shows how recombination occurs between the X and Y chromosomes, then within the Y chromosome itself.

This interactive survey allows individuals to determine if they are morning or evening persons.

This interactive, modular lab explores the tools that doctors use to examine and diagnose patients with heart conditions.

This playlist can be used to teach several core topics in genetics and molecular biology by connecting students with case studies and multimedia about genetic medicine. It can be used in AP/IB Biology courses.

This playlist can be used to teach several core topics in genetics and molecular biology related to the central dogma by connecting students with case studies about the rock pocket mouse and genetic medicine. It can be used in undergraduate biology courses.
