Welcome to the Exploring Molecular Biology learning project.
Content summary edit
Independent study with group collaboration projects for exploration of the molecular basis of life.
Learning materials edit
Learning materials and learning projects are located in the main Wikiversity namespace. Simply make a link to the name of the lesson (lessons are independent pages in the main namespace) and start writing!
- Primary Structure - participants explore the relation between gene sequence and protein sequence.
- How to access the genome databases
