The Jackson Laboratory Teaching the Genome Generation (TtGG™): Human Genetic Variation Virtual Lab Curriculum
This pathway will introduce you to key concepts and procedures in the study of human genetics, genomics and personalized medicine. As part of the TtGG™: Human Genetic Variation Virtual Lab curriculum, you will conduct virtual experiments, analyze real data, and touch on the ethical complexities at the intersection of human genomics, research and medicine.
For teachers who require supportive guides for the TtGG™ lab experiments and bioinformatics activities, please visit the Teaching the Genome Generation: Genetics Curriculum with Laboratory pathway.
