Complete two different gel electrophoresis labs, both exploring Mendelian genetics.  In this 2 hour workshop, you will use pre-prepared DNA samples to explore the alleles of the beta-globin gene responsible for sickle cell disease and trait and the alleles of the gene responsible for coat length in dogs. We will also explain how you can create your own genetics labs using purchased DNA fragments or dyes. These labs are appropriate for grades 7 – 12.

All participants can enroll in our equipment lending program. Attendees can take home dye samples to implement the lab for up to 50 students.
