Secret of Photo 51. DESTINY : RESOURCES. Biotechnology Learning Center. Genomics, Bioinformatics, and Proteomics News | BIO: Biotechnology Industry Organization. Resources. We are enhancing our most popular resources by building collections around them. First up: Polymerase Chain Reaction! The DNA Learning Center has been developing multimedia animation programs since 1990. These popular programs feature some of the most common molecular processes such as PCR, sequencing, and DNA restriction.

View online or download for play from your computer. Stunning three-dimensional visualizations of cellular and molecular processes. Journey inside a cell as you follow proteins and learn about cellular interactions in Cell Signals. An interactive brain map that allows users to rotate the brain in three-dimensional space. Gene Screen is a fun way to learn how recessive genetic traits and diseases are inherited and find out which genetic diseases are more prevalent where your ancestors came from.

Each year a select few scientists are recognized for their work by the Nobel Foundation. These common plasmids are used in our laboratory protocols. Human cloning, human genetics and Brave New World. GEP Cool Tools. GEP Cool Tools. GEP Cool Tools. Lost Tribes of Israel | Build a Family Tree. By Marti Louw The Y chromosome is the keeper of family history on the male side. Written in the letters of DNA, it carries a record of a man's paternal ancestors. Here is your chance to try your hand at being a geneticist and solve a genealogical puzzle using your power of reasoning and understanding of DNA.

When you start the game, you'll find an incomplete family tree of male relatives. We offer simulated DNA sequences from the Y chromosomes of 10 fictitious individuals. These men have a common ancestor and the same last name, but only four of the individuals have been positively identified and placed on the tree. Your job is to complete the rest of the male family tree using DNA information from the Y chromosome. The Y chromosome is passed from father to son as a nearly exact copy of itself. All the DNA sequences are made up of combinations of the letters A, C, G, and T. Animal Cloning. Animal Cloning is the process by which an entire organism is reproduced from a single cell taken from the parent organism and in a genetically identical manner.

This means the cloned animal is an exact duplicate in every way of its parent; it has the same exact DNA. Cloning happens quite frequently in nature. Asexual reproduction in certain organisms and the development of twins from a single fertilized egg are both instances of Cloning. With the advancement of biological technology, it is now possible to artificially recreate the process of Animal Cloning. Scientists have been attempting to clone animals for a very long time.

After this, using the process of nuclear transfer on embryonic cells, scientists managed to produce clones of mammals. Since then Scientists have been successful in producing a variety of other animals like rats, cats, horses, bullocks, pigs, deer, etc. Initial attempts at artificially induced Animal Cloning were done using developing embryonic cells.
