Molecular Genetics Explorer

Abstract:

With the Genetics Tool, you can:
* Cross two organisms
* Self-cross one organism
* Create mutant versions of one organism

With the Biochemistry Tool, you can:
* Look at the structures and colors of the pigment proteins found in one organism
* Design proteins and observe their shapes and colors
* Compare the amino acid sequences of different pigment proteins

With the Molecular Biology Tool, you can:
* Look at the DNA, mRNA and protein sequences of pigment protein genes
* Design genes and observe the colors of the resulting proteins by editing the top DNA strand
* Compare the DNA sequences of different pigment protein genes
* Create new organisms by specifying their DNA sequences
