EDVOTEK™ Origami Organelles Gene Cloning Model

Description

Gene cloning is easy to grasp with the colorful Origami Organelles Gene Cloning Model.

• With this interactive model your students create base pairs and combine them to make a model of plasmid.
• Learn about gene cloning or genetic engineering by carrying out a restriction enzyme digest and adding a gene insert.
• nsert can represent either the insulin or green fluorescent protein (GFP) genes.
• Students learn about plasmid structure, use of vectors, marker genes, restriction enzymes recognition sites, sticky ends, multiple cloning sites, and promoters.
• Takes about 20 minutes to make if divided between 5 groups of students. Can be kept intact and reused once assembled.

Origami Organelles are downloadable paper models that you print and make as many times as you like. When you purchase a model, provide an email address for the PDF to be emailed to and then you are licensed for unlimited use on a single site or campus.
