11:00 am: DNALC Live: DNA Barcoding Part I: Rapid DNA IsolationMore information about DNALC Live: DNA Barcoding Part I: Rapid DNA IsolationThursday, April 2, 2020 11:00 am - 12:00 pm EST DNA barcoding allows for the identification of an organism through analysis of a short region of DNA within its genome, similar to how the pattern of bars in a universal product code (UPC) identifies each consumer product. 1:00 pm: DNALC Live: DNA Barcoding in Zoology and ConservationMore information about DNALC Live: DNA Barcoding in Zoology and ConservationThursday, April 2, 2020 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EST Many species can be difficult and time consuming to identify through morphology alone, especially without specialized training and specific knowledge of taxonomy. DNA barcoding helps to level the playing field, offering an approach to species identification that provides non-experts a way to rapidly identify organisms! 2:00 pm: DNALC Live: DNALC ChatMore information about DNALC Live: DNALC ChatThursday, April 2, 2020 2:00 pm - 3:00 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. 3:00 pm: DNALC Live: Lactose IntoleranceMore information about DNALC Live: Lactose IntoleranceThursday, April 2, 2020 3:00 pm - 3:30 pm EST Enzymes speed up chemical reactions, including the digestion of food. Lactase is an intestinal enzyme responsible for the digestion of the sugar lactose in milk. The production of lactase is an important part of the interesting evolutionary story of why some humans are lactose intolerant, and others are not. |
