Direct measurements from 1-2 µL samples without dilution. Up to 27,500 ng/uL ds DNA or 400 mg/mL IgG measurement range. Stand-alone instrument with touchscreen user interface. Auto-range pathlength technology for accurate measurements
Food science simulations include nutrition and basic chemistry concepts. Action potential lab demonstrates squid neuron research. Advanced chemistry covers acids, bases, and nomenclature. Cell biology simulations explore cell structure and division. Biome generator helps identify Earth's main biomes
Developed by Alec Jeffreys in 1984 to identify variable DNA elements. Each individual has unique pattern of minisatellites, except identical twins. Technique involves extracting DNA from cells and using restriction enzymes
Haplogroups can be determined from historical remains or genealogical DNA tests. mtDNA indicates maternal descent, Y-DNA indicates paternal descent. mtDNA results often provide better results than nuclear DNA
Worldwide there are approximately 10,000 bird species. Passerines order alone contains over 5,000 species. Taxonomy is fluid due to DNA analysis
Gene mapping identifies gene locations and distances on chromosomes. Genes serve as molecular markers for genome mapping. Maps help predict inheritance patterns of traits
