Don't tell your students about triplet codons, reading frames, and introns and exons. Let your students discover these features of eukaryotic genes as they explore the map of the human β-globin gene. After searching through the nucleotide sequence to find the β-globin gene, your students will appreciate bioinformatics software that automates DNA sequence analysis. The Teacher's Map includes annotated features. Map can be used individually or by small teams of students.
Loan Time Frame: 3 weeks
Delivery
Pick-Up
You may schedule one copy of a model for three weeks. Due to limited resources, we are unable to send multiple copies or additional materials.
If you would like to request a loan of a different model for the same time frame you may add this to your cart. Up to three different types of models may be checked out at one time. You will need to fill out a separate request for model loans with a different time frame.
Please contact us at cbmloans@msoe.edu with any questions about the lending process or the availability of models.
Contact Margaret Franzen at franzen@msoe.edu or (414) 277-2824 with questions about the models, teaching resources or educational content.
Teaching Points and Instructions
The β-globin maps contain the double stranded DNA sequence and the protein sequences in three forward reading frames.
Model is made of plaster with ZCorp 3D printer and in α-carbon backbone format.
Models must be returned on or before the due date.
Borrowers are responsible for return shipping costs. We recommend using FedEx or UPS with "two-day ground" transportation. Please make sure to get a tracking number for the shipment.
Please take care when returning models. Any damage incurred in return shipping due to improper packing will be charged to the borrower.
