ABOUT
Harlem DNA Lab
The Harlem DNA Lab is the world's first science center devoted entirely to genetics education. The Lab lets groups experience hands-on laboratory experiments including Biotechnology, which covers both Bacterial Transformation and DNA Restriction Analysis; and Human DNA Variations, which includes Genotyping a Human “Jumping Gene” and Human Mitochondrial Sequencing. The Forensic DNA Profiling laboratory explores tandem repeat polymorphism and allows students to identify their genotype. Lab field trips are inspired by techniques and tools currently used by research scientist
