ANIMATIONS (a great way for computer savy biologists to visualize concepts)
Recombinant DNA
Restriction enzymes Select "techniques", "cutting and pasting "; "3-D animation" (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
PCR
PCR Animation Select "techinques"; "amplifying"; "3-D animation" (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
Replication
DNA Replication Animation (Richard Losick; HHMI)
DNA Animation (link provided by a student in our class-THANKS.)
Ribozymes
Ribozyme Action Animation (Richard Losick; HHMI)
mRNA (good overview, dramatic music, funded by the National Science Foundation)
mRNA Transcription Animation
mRNA Processing Animation
mRNA Splicing Animation
Translation Animation
Microarrays
Interactive Animation: fun, allows you to vortex and pipette online.
Shorter Animation: shows a story using a microarray.
Cloning
Interactive Animation: fun, lets you make a mouse clone online.
RNAi
RNAi Video Clip from NOVA PBS: this is very good.
RNAi Mechanism Animation from the Nature Publishing Group
Solexa Sequencing
An emerging NEW technology : super fast genomes to come?
Pyrosequencing
An emerging NEW technology: this video clip is very good.
LacOperonGame (simple, yet gets point across)

Nobelprize.org (Straight from Sweden, neat site)
Every time you listen to a CD, or use a laser pointer you are holding the discovery of a Nobel Prize Winner (born and raised in South Carolina) in your hand - pretty neat!
Video games for each Nobel prize category: physics, chemistry, medicine, peace, literature, economics.
Avoid "slackers" who steal your CDs Play the Laser Challenge Game
Chemistry - Play the Chirality Game
Medicine - Play the Blood Typing Game
