Recombinant DNA Technology
Description - A 3D animation illustrating the process by which a protein is mass-produced using spliced DNA and bacterial replication using Plasmids. DNA recombinant technology is used to produce proteins using bacteria. The bacteria being easier to grow than actual animals, proteins can be mass produced using them. This animation shows how exactly using the DNA from which the protein can be made, a plasmid is generated which is a recombinant DNA plasmid, which when reintroduced into the bacteria promotes the bacteria to synthesize the protein.

DNA Fingerprinting Technique
Description - An animation showing how DNA Fingerprinting is done. DNA fingerprinting is used a lot in forensic studies to find criminals. As the DNA of a person is unique, DNA fingerprinting can be used to identify people. In these times of identity theft, terrorism, and the TV criminology craze, learn just how genetic fingerprinting occurs.

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
Description - This animation shows what PCR or Polymerase Chain Reaction is and how it is done. It is a very informative animation showing the technology and the concepts used to perfom PCR.
