Genetics Learning Activities
Select from an extensive catalogue of educational tools available for enhancing the teaching of biological subjects, including simulated testing of blood and urine, the illustration of various natural habitats, and the dissection of sterilized stool samples collected from different regions. By engaging with these educational materials, students learn about animals, the environment, interactions between different animals, growth patterns of cellular organisms, and much more. Safe and economical, these convenient kits are designed to provide you with all of the materials necessary for proper biology education.
Kits: mapping of restriction sites on plasmid DNA, Ready-to-Load™
Supplier: EDVOTEK
DNA mapping is a common procedure used to determine the location of genes. In this experiment, DNA markers and pre-digested plasmid DNA fragments are mapped using agarose gel electrophoresis.

Kits: family pedigree cancer gene detection, Ready-to-Load™
Supplier: EDVOTEK
In this experiment, students determine a pedigree for a family thought to be carriers of a mutation in their p53 genes. This is followed by a diagnostic agarose gel analysis to diagnose the state of the p53 gene in individual family members.

Kits: in search of the cancer gene, Ready-to-Load™
Supplier: EDVOTEK
Suppressor genes, such as p53, are essential for cell functions. Mutations in the p53 gene can be correlated to predisposition for certain cancers. Mutations of genes can either be inherited or accumulated due to environmental insults. This experiment deals with a family pedigree determination of several generations relating to cancer formation due to p53 gene mutation.

Experimentation kits, determination of protein molecular weight (polyacrylamide-based)
Supplier: EDVOTEK
Using prestained LyphoProteins, subunit molecular weights are determined by analysis using denaturing SDS vertical polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Prestained proteins with unknown molecular weights are assigned molecular weights based on the relative mobility of prestained standard protein markers.
