What is genetic engineering?

The professional-grade equipment in the Advanced Electrophoresis Bundles comes in a variety of sizes for any lab or class.

These bundles are everything you need to perform agarose gel electrophoresis.

Students use color-coded pop beads to visualize the structure of amino acid chains with this kit.

Using penicillin-impregnated discs on two plates, students grow one lawn each of two common, naturally occurring pathogen bacteria.

Students investigate the inheritance of the ability to taste sodium benzoate by constructing a pedigree of the ability of members of their family to taste them. Includes: 1 vial sodium benzoate, 1 vial control papers (100 papers per vial), and a family pedigree chart. *Test Paper Factoid: Taste papers can be used to demonstrate inheritance. The ability to taste PTC is a hereditary trait. 7 out of 10 people will taste it. Sodium Benzoate tastes sweet, salty, bitter or will be tasteless to different people. Thiourea tastes bitter to most but is tasteless to some!

Learn the basics of DNA sequencing and sequence homology with this lab activity.

NewPath’s Chromosomes, Genes and DNA Curriculum Learning Module provides a complete set of visual, digital and hands-on resources designed to support teacher instruction and provide students with the skills to master key concepts on Chromosomes, Genes and DNA.

Study Genetic Variants in Fruit Flies

How Do Bacteria Turn On And Turn Off Genes?

A basic introduction to DNA.

This kit demystifies DNA's and RNA's connection to protein synthesis.

Highly accurate model of DNA structure.

In this colorful experiment, students will explore the biological process of bacterial transformation using vibrant chromogenic proteins.

For centuries, humans have used selective breeding and conventional hybridization to produce desirable qualities and to increase crop yields. Today, scientists use genetic engineering to directly manipulate the DNA, quickly producing these desirable traits. In this experiment, students will use agarose gel electrophoresis to explore the molecular methods used by scientists to identify genetically modified organisms. No thermal cycler is required. Students are also encouraged to explore the controversy surrounding the use of genetically modified organisms.

Visualize the DNA you eat every day.

Hands-on simulation of Sickle Cell diagnostic test.

The DNA Playground™ is a heating and cooling all-in-one unit with touch controls and sensors.

This kit enables a junior researcher to complete DNA transformations with their own engineered DNA and cells.
