Abstract

The exercise is designed for introductory students with only basic backgrounds in computer skills and molecular genetics. The objective of the laboratory exercise is 1) to demonstrate and reinforce major concepts and principles of DNA and protein sequences, 2) to teach the skills of using Web browsers and the availability of biological resources on the Internet, 3) to use a simple DNA analysis program, and 4) to recognize differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic gene organization that will affect the use of such resources and software.
