DNA: BACK TO BASICS

A useful overview of the basic principles of DNA and an introduction to genetic fingerprinting using microsatellites.

 

A great way to revise DNA and prepare your students for their Post-16 Conservation Genetics workshop!

 

(This accompanies the Post-16 Conservation Genetics workshop, but would be useful for GCSE students too).
