GENUP 5.5 – Computer Aided Learning for Quantitative Genetics

GENUP 5.5

:: DESCRIPTION

GENUP contains a number of learning modules. Each of these is designed to help you master concepts in Quantitative Genetics and its application to Animal Breeding. These modules are largely algorithm-based rather than information-based, meaning that you are given opportunities to play with the properties of the subject rather than be given information about the subject.

Stretching DNA 2.08 – Simulations of Stretching DNA

Stretching DNA 2.08

:: DESCRIPTION

Stretching DNA explores stretching just a single strand of DNA using optical tweezers or fluid flow. Experiment with the forces involved and measure the relationship between the stretched DNA length and the force required to keep it stretched. Is DNA more like a rope or like a spring?
