Laboratory in Genetics: Description & Introduction (13 KB & 11 KB ): This is a project-based laboratory activity. Students will be engaged in activities of "forward genetics" and "functional genomics" (utilizing RNAi). For detailed lab procedure, please contact Dr. E. Jane Hubbard at New York University.

Worm Starter Kit (): The worm goes to school introduces this kit that includes basic information about manipulating C. elegans, microscopy and worm genetics.
~ by Institute of molecular and cell biology and national institute of education, Singapore.

LECTURE & LAB

Genotype v.s Phenotype module (hosted at LOCI): apply research resources including C. elegans movies, images, DNA, protein data to help students understand the relationship between genotype and phenotype.
