National Standards for Grades 7-12 Students construct this DNA model from 144 plastic DNA building pieces including six different repeated molecular shapes, collectively depicting sixteen nucleotide base pairs of DNA (8 Adenosine Thymine and 8 Guanine Cytosine). The base pairs and the sugar and phosphate units are each manufactured as single plastic units. Nine molecular parts per nucleotide pair snap together using pop-in beads. The model is easily assembled, disassembled, and rebuilt, enabling extended use. May be painted either prior to or following assembly. The kit contains detailed building instructions and an extensive DNA problem set. After completing the kit activities, students will have gained a solid understanding of the double helical structure and the function and properties of DNA. Contains instruction manual, plastic building pieces, rod, spacers, and wooden base. Building and painting project is ideal for up to six students at a time. Included in kit: Instruction Manual Wooden Model Base Metal Rod and Hardware Set DNA Model Pieces Set Optional Paint Set (6 colors plus paint thinner) Paint Brush Set Plastic Clippers This product ships separately and requires 2-4 weeks delivery time.

RNA interference (RNAi) is a technique that allows you to silence the expression of a chosen gene by specifically degrading the gene's mRNA. The Examining the RNAi Mechanism kit allows students to use this Nobel Prize-winning technique to silence the dpy-13 gene in the non-parasitic roundworm, C. elegans. They observe wild-type worms eat a lab strain of E. coli that expresses double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) corresponding to the targeted gene, DumPY 13 (dpy-13).
