Introducing the Central Dogma Digital Lab

We’re excited to announce the launch of the Central Dogma Digital Lab, an interactive virtual lab that brings the central dogma of molecular biology to life. Whether students are pipetting at the bench or exploring genetics in a fully virtual setting, this new Digital Lab offers an engaging, narrative-driven experience that helps them visualize and understand how DNA is transcribed into RNA and translated into proteins.

In the Central Dogma Digital Lab, rich visuals help students understand the processes that underlie gene expression.

Central Dogma Digital Lab features include:

  1. Interactive, narrative-driven exploration: Students are guided through the experiment by a scientist who explains the background information and the technology they will use to carry it out, leading them through molecular biology concepts in a compelling, hands-on way.
  2. Virtual experimentation and analysis: Students analyze photo and video results from real experiments. The results involve fluorescent readouts, making the data highly visual and engaging. Interactive features allow students to complete assessments and record their observations, reinforcing their understanding of key concepts.
  3. Flexible learning for any environment: Designed to complement hands-on experimentation or function as a fully digital simulation, this lab supports in-person, hybrid, and remote learning setups.

    In the Central Dogma Digital Lab, students analyze videos and photos of real experimental results.

The Central Dogma Digital Lab makes molecular biology accessible and engaging by blending storytelling with interactive experimentation. Whether used as a supplement to hands-on lab work or as a standalone experience, this resource helps students connect theory with practice.
