The Genetics class completed their first PCR today! They will ultimately determine their own genotypes for the ACE gene 🧬 Thanks to @jacksonlab Teaching the Genome Generation (TtGG) for partnering with us to introduce students to really cool molecular biology labs! #TGSNATION
Biotechnology students spent the week working on their pGLO bacterial transformation lab 🧫 🧬. Fingers crossed that we see glowing colonies next week!! #TGSNATION
Happy DNA 🧬 Day!!! Biotechnology students will be celebrating with a bunch of fun activities including a virtual field trip to a genetics laboratory! #TGSNATION
It may look like a random assortment of beads on a pipe cleaner, but these Honors Biology students made precisely folded proteins based on the properties of amino acids and discovered how changes in amino acid sequence can potentially lead to disease. #TGSNATION
10th grade Honors Biology students did some digging into how various enzymes are affected by changes in temperature and pH. They created and presented some wonderful posters! #TGSNATION
AP Biology students designed an experiment using potatoes and their knowledge of osmosis to determine the unknown concentrations of six sucrose solutions. #TGSNATION
Our Genetics students are running their first PCR today using their own DNA! This will allow them to determine their genotypes for the ACE gene. 🧬 #TGSNATION
