videos Sequencing at Speed This 3D animation gives a simple overview of next generation DNA sequencing, known as massively parallel sequencing.

videos What does DNA do? This animation explains what DNA does in our bodies and how it makes us the unique individuals we are.

videos Life in the Lab: working in a malaria genome modification pipeline This film shows how computer software is used to create DNA sequences that can modify the DNA of malaria parasites.

videos Life in the Lab: working in a DNA sequencing pipeline This film shows all of the processes involved in sequencing a DNA sample; from receiving a sample DNA to releasing the assembled DNA sequence data.

videos Life in the Lab: working in a malaria lab This film shows how scientists work with malaria parasites in the lab; culturing parasites and preparing them so they can be seen using a microscope.

videos Life in the Lab: working with human gut microbiota This film shows how lab scientists work safely with human gut bacteria; culturing them on agar plates and extracting DNA for genome sequencing.

videos DNA sequencing This 3D animation shows the basic steps in the method of DNA sequencing that was used during the Human Genome Project.

videos DNA replication 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.

videos From DNA to protein This 3D animation shows how proteins are made in the cell from the information in the DNA code.

videos The Human Genome Project: Personal Stories This film features personal accounts from scientists from the USA and UK who were involved in the Human Genome Project.

videos BRAF: From Gene to Cancer Therapy (video) 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.

videos Role of Cancer Genes This flash animation shows you how DNA mutations are involved in the development of cancer.

videos Cancer: Rogue Cells This animation describes how cancer grows within the body and how different factors can lead to cancer development.

videos Zoom in on your genome This animation shows where and how the human genome is stored within our cells.

videos How the human genome was sequenced This animation introduces you to the human genome and shows how the first human genome was sequenced in the Human Genome Project.

videos Malaria: An Introduction This video introduces you to the disease malaria, taking you through the life cycle of the parasite that causes it and why it is such a huge problem in the developing world.
