Each path follows a real lab workflow in the order you would do it at the bench. Every step says why it comes where it does, and has its own guide and virtual lab.
The skills every experiment rests on: working safely, measuring volumes, making solutions and checking concentrations.
Copy a gene, put it into a plasmid, get it into bacteria and confirm the sequence: the classic cloning workflow.
Find out how much a gene is switched on: from isolating RNA to a fold change you can defend.
Get protein out of cells, measure it, separate it by size and detect the one you care about.
Produce a recombinant protein, purify it and check that what you have is pure, folded and not aggregated.
Keep mammalian cells healthy, counted, contamination-free and safely frozen.
Edit a gene with CRISPR, get the edit into cells and confirm it worked.
Grow, count, identify and test bacteria, the core of any microbiology lab.
Take DNA from extraction to reads you can analyse: the next-generation sequencing workflow.
Label structures in cells, image them well and turn the pictures into numbers.
