The Jackson Laboratory Genomic Education division specializes in developing lessons, activities, and hands-on laboratory protocols for teaching and learning about genetics and genomics. The resources below include our Teaching the Genome Generation protocols and lessons, Mighty Mice in Space lesson series, and more. Most content is created for high school teachers and students in grades 9-12, but may be suitable for other audiences.
Teaching the Genome Generation™ (TtGG) empowers high school teachers to enhance genomics education with resources on DNA ethics, methods, and bioinformatics.
This project is supported by the NIH/National Institute of General Medical Sciences.
The content is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official views of the National Institutes of Health. TtGG is also supported by The Petit Family Foundation and an anonymous gift. Prior support for TtGG has also come from the Arthur Vining Davis Foundation, Jane’s Trust and New England Biolabs.
Bioinformatics exercises teach students to manage and analyze vast amounts of biological data, preparing them for careers in genomics and data science.
