Development of a DNA Bar-coding Project as a Biology Laboratory Module
This article is intended for faculty who are looking for new techniques for teaching a genetics or molecular ecology lab. We have used the bar-coding protocol for both a non-majors watershed ecology lab and a majors-specific genetics lab with equal success. The exercise involves extracting mitochond...

This article is intended for faculty who are looking for new techniques for teaching a genetics or molecular ecology lab.
