Once you use the BioBits Central Dogma lab to show DNA -> RNA -> Protein, keep using your P51 Viewer and use this awesome enzyme lab to show an example of protein function! 🧬

Want to try out the BioBits Central Dogma lab? Genes in Space is offering more virtual workshops that include the lab with equipment that you can keep! 👀🧬

"I was scared to change my career path to a different field, but I am so glad I did. There are lots of great jobs in biotech, and working in this field is exciting." Read more about Sarita's career in biotech, and her words of advice about the field: minipcr.com/biotech-career…

🚨NEW BIOBITS LAB ALERT! 🚨 In our new Protein Expression and Purification lab, use BioBits to express a mixture of fluorescent proteins and then use purification techniques to separate them! 🟡➡️🔴🟢

You know that BioBits makes protein expression easier, but what makes protein purification easier? Find out in this two-in-one lab!

Another Genes in Space experiment is onboard the ISS! Can't wait to see the data that comes from this awesome student experiment looking at an RNA-based diagnostic!

🔥Save the date: 2025 UGEN virtual workshop🔥 We are pleased to sponsor this year's Undergraduate Genetics Education Network (UGEN) annual virtual workshop! Mark calendars to ensure you don’t miss this great event. Check here soon for registration details: minipcr.com/2025-ugen-virt…

We just hit a major milestone—our 200th Lab in a Box loan! Since the program launched, we've empowered over 12,000 students with hands-on DNA analysis. Thank you to ISS National Lab, Boeing Space, and New England Biolabs for making this possible. Here's to more discoveries ahead! #STEMeducation
