12:00 pm: DNALC Live: DNALC Short: Restriction EnzymesMore information about DNALC Live: DNALC Short: Restriction EnzymesMonday, May 11, 2020 12:00 pm - 12:15 pm EST Restriction Enzymes are molecular "scissors" that precisely cut DNA. Learn how they were discovered by scientists working with viruses called bacteriophage. 3:00 pm: DNALC Live: DNALC Short: Green Fluorescent ProteinMore information about DNALC Live: DNALC Short: Green Fluorescent ProteinMonday, May 11, 2020 3:00 pm - 3:15 pm EST Did you know that scientists can use jellyfish proteins to track the activity of genes? Join us to learn how 3 scientists were awarded a Nobel Prize for their work with Green Fluorescent Protein, and how it is now used in molecular biology laboratories around the world! |

11:00 am: DNALC Live: DNALC Short: MicropipettingMore information about DNALC Live: DNALC Short: MicropipettingTuesday, May 12, 2020 11:00 am - 11:15 am EST The precise measurement of liquids is extremely important in molecular biology. In this lab demonstration, learn how to properly use a micropipette, the tool used to measure volumes of 1 milliliter and less! 2:00 pm: DNALC Live: DNALC Short: Preparation of an Agarose GelMore information about DNALC Live: DNALC Short: Preparation of an Agarose GelTuesday, May 12, 2020 2:00 pm - 2:15 pm EST The first step in agarose gel electrophoresis is to cast an agarose gel. Learn how to prepare an agarose solution, and use a casting tray and comb to create an agarose gel that can be used for separation of DNA fragments by size. 3:00 pm: DNALC Live: DNALC Short: Gel ElectrophoresisMore information about DNALC Live: DNALC Short: Gel ElectrophoresisTuesday, May 12, 2020 3:00 pm - 3:15 pm EST Join us for a demonstration of agarose gel electrophoresis. This process uses electricity to separate DNA fragments by size as they migrate through a gel matrix. |

12:00 pm: DNALC Live: DNALC Short: CRISPR IntroductionMore information about DNALC Live: DNALC Short: CRISPR IntroductionWednesday, May 13, 2020 12:00 pm - 12:15 pm EST Have you heard about "CRISPR" but aren't quite sure what it means? This short video will introduce you to the basics of CRISPR-Cas9 and how it can be used to edit genomes! 2:00 pm: DNALC Live: PV92 - Jumping Genes Lead the WayMore information about DNALC Live: PV92 - Jumping Genes Lead the WayWednesday, May 13, 2020 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm EST In this activity, you will use bioinformatics tools to understand how DNA sequence similarities are being used to understand shared ancestry between individuals, populations and species. |

11:00 am: DNALC Live: DNALC Short: ImagingMore information about DNALC Live: DNALC Short: ImagingThursday, May 14, 2020 11:00 am - 11:15 am EST How can you see the invisible? Fluorescent proteins and two-photon microscopy help scientists to see fine structures or particular molecules of cells. Join Catherine Zhang in exploring this imaging method used for science discovery. 12:00 pm: DNALC Live: Invertebrate Biology Series: Courtship and Reproduction, Part VIMore information about DNALC Live: Invertebrate Biology Series: Courtship and Reproduction, Part VIThursday, May 14, 2020 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EST Throughout this series, we have seen many amazing adaptations of invertebrates that contribute to their survival. Yet, some of their most surprising and unbelievable behaviors center around finding mates in order to reproduce. 2:00 pm: DNALC Live: AP Bio Chat - May 14More information about DNALC Live: AP Bio Chat - May 14Thursday, May 14, 2020 2:00 pm - 2:30 pm EST The College Board has announced that this year’s AP® Biology Exam will consist only of Units 1 – 6. The DNALC seeks to help students with content from Units 5 and 6, which pertain to molecular biology and genetics. |
Friday, May 15, 2020(3 events)
12:00 pm: DNALC Live: Intro to RNA-Seq with Jupyter, Part IIMore information about DNALC Live: Intro to RNA-Seq with Jupyter, Part IIFriday, May 15, 2020 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EST RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) is a widely used experimental approach in molecular biology. RNA-Seq allows us to measure the level of RNA in cells and tissues, and therefore make inferences about what genes are active, under what circumstances, and when. 2:00 pm: DNALC Live: Forensic DNA Profiling, Part IMore information about DNALC Live: Forensic DNA Profiling, Part IFriday, May 15, 2020 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm EST Although the DNA from different individuals is more alike than different, there are many regions of human chromosomes that exhibit a great deal of diversity. Such variable sequences are termed “polymorphic” (meaning many forms) and provide the basis for forensic identification. 3:00 pm: DNALC Live: DNALC Short: CentrifugationMore information about DNALC Live: DNALC Short: CentrifugationFriday, May 15, 2020 3:00 pm - 3:15 pm EST Centrifugation is a technique that applies centrifugal force to separate samples by density, or to collect a solution at the bottom of a tube, by spinning the samples at high speeds. Join us to learn how to properly set-up and run a centrifuge! |
