This unique kit lets your students experience how computers are used in a biotechnology research laboratory. In Module 1, you and your students do 2 dry labs designed to introduce DNA sequencing. In Module 2, students log on to the Internet to use our Webcutter software, which interfaces with the National Center for Biotechnology Information Web site, to determine both the identity of their gene fragment and its restriction map. In Module 3, students take the plasmid containing their gene fragment and do 2 restriction enzyme digests and gel electrophoresis to confirm the identity of their unknown gene. Materials are sufficient for 6 teams of students. Foreign orders require special handling.

** Kit and perishable components will ship separately and may arrive on different days.
