This 3D animation shows the basic steps in the method of DNA sequencing that was used during the Human Genome Project.
Decode DNA sequences and discover the proteins they code for using online scientific databases.
Are you faster than a machine? Compete against the computer to sequence DNA from a capillary sequencing machine.
This 3D animation shows you how DNA is copied in a cell. It shows how both strands of the DNA helix are unzipped and copied to produce two identical DNA molecules.
This 3D animation shows how proteins are made in the cell from the information in the DNA code.
In this film Christine Boinett talks about her research looking at antibiotic resistance in bacteria. This is one of a series of films providing a unique insight into different careers in the field of genomics.
In this film Gosia Trynka talks about her research looking at the effect of genetic changes on the immune system. This is one of a series of films providing a unique insight into different careers in the field of genomics.

In this film Niki Patel talks about her research looking at the genetics of cancer. This is one of a series of films providing a unique insight into different careers in the field of genomics.
This computer game allows you to explore the key features of a human cell. The aim of the game is to match pairs of components from within a human cell.
Discover how DNA sequences code for proteins with different roles and functions.
In Malaria Challenge you can explore the different stages of malaria and how scientists are trying to find new ways of preventing and treating this deadly tropical disease.
This multimedia resource tells the story of the Tasmanian devil and the transmissible cancer that threatens its existence
This film explores direct-to-consumer genetic testing through the stories of people who have considered taking this type of genetic test.
This hands-on activity allows you to create your own paper model of a DNA double helix.
Through this fun activity you can learn more about the spread of microbes and their potential to infect people.
Step into the shoes of a genetic scientist and carry out a phenotype analysis with the model organism, zebrafish.
Play detective and uncover how microbes spread around the surfaces you touch if you don’t wash your hands properly!
This film features personal accounts from scientists from the USA and UK who were involved in the Human Genome Project.
Discover more about the basic shape and structure of different bacteria through this balloon modelling activity.
Discover how microbes, such as bacteria and viruses, can be spread from person to person.
Debate current and potential issues in genetics and genomics with this card-based discussion activity.
This film tells the story of how DNA sequencing was used to identify that the gene BRAF is commonly mutated in malignant melanoma, and how this has led to the development of a targeted drug against the mutation.
Explore antibiotic resistance by taking a closer look at the genomes of two strains of the bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus.
What is the best way to eradicate malaria? In this activity you will explore how the different stages of the malaria life cycle can be targeted by different treatments and prevention strategies.
Take on the role of a programme manager for a community at high risk of malaria and, using the information provided, work out the best strategy for eliminating the disease from the area.
If you were given £20 million to eradicate malaria, how would you spend it? In this activity you get to find out.
Explore the features of two closely related subspecies of the bacteria, Salmonella. Find out how the differences in their genomes results in their ability to cause two very different diseases.
