What Genes Make Us Human?

Thanks to the growing field of genomics, we can now learn what genes make us truly human. The duplication of DUF1220, which is expressed in brain cells, may give humans our uniquely large brains.

Natural Genetic Engineering

Biological evolution requires variation and selection. Yet how is variation introduced? Until...

Tinkering with DNA

DNA is at the heart of biological evolution. To learn how mobile DNA creates the genetic diversity that drives evolution, you can tinker with simulated DNA.

Pop Bead DNA

Pop-beads are used to model DNA, simulate its replication, and observe molecular evolution
