Teach Restriction Analysis with Carolina and the DNA Learning Center
Engage your students by going hands-on with a classic technique in molecular biology known as restriction analysis. These kits were developed in cooperation with the DNA Learning Center (DNALC) at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. In this video, watch experts from the DNALC perform restriction analysis and explain how to use this technique for teaching DNA, restriction enzymes, and gel electrophoresis.
Molecular Biology
Carolina has everything you need to teach molecular biology. Molecular genetics covers a broad range of topics to understand the important roles of DNA, RNA, and proteins, DNA structure, function, and replication, how genes influence traits, cellular activities, and genetic engineering. Understanding these concepts set the foundation for many other biological concepts.
