A description of how polymerase chain reaction works. (pdf format)
Genome - Wide
Linkage Mapping - Learn a technique that researchers use to map
disease causing mutations to a specific gene if possible, or if not,
to as small a region of the human genome as possible. This is an
advanced activity (AP Bio students). It requires an understanding of
patterns of inheritance and meiosis, and could be used to review
those topics and carry them a step further.
