Recombinant DNA experiment

This entry is a stub, and will be expanded on a future archiving pass.

A group of scientists from UCSF’s department of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology, coralled by Shawn Douglas, visited Dynamicland.

We built a kit in Realtalk for planning and visualizing DNA cloning, along the lines of SnapGene.

In Realtalk, building and exploring the kit was a communal activity.

Toby and Josh explain the project.

Shawn got distracted making a gel electrophoresis simulator. (See Gelbox.)
