Project Abstract
The Molecular Genetics Explorer is a
BioQUEST
software simulation that integrates genetics,
biochemistry, and molecular biology to study a biological phenomenon. It is designed to
show students the connections between these three key disciplines of modern molecular
genetics. It is based on "Botstein's Triangle"; (Science
240:1439 (1988)) shown:
The Species Editor facilitates in creation of
species that are now going to be the input source for the MGX software.
The DNA Complexifier generates organism (pair of DNA sequences)
for selected allele.
