ALTERNATE TO BLUE GENE

 

http://www.dnai.org/index.html click "manipulation" at the top of the page. Start with the "revolution" module.  When you get to "pieces of the puzzle", explain each of the puzzle pieces.  Under "techniques", look at "cutting & pasting" and "transferring & storing" to explain what plasmids are and how recombinant plasmids are made.  Under "production", use "pieces of the puzzle" to explain how recombinant insulin is made.  Submit these explanations as a replacement for the "Blue Gene" lab.
