Students will perform a controlled experiment to transfer green fluorescent protein and antibiotic-resistant genes into E. coli by using genetically engineered plasmid DNA as a vector to carry the genes. If the transformation is successful, students will witness living proof of their work: E. coli that not only grow in the presence of antibiotics but also glow green under UV light.

Session Information
2-hour session, times are flexible One class per session, maximum 30 students per class Can book multiple activities in one day $920 per session (BOCES-aidable)
