Explore IT
Gene Hunter


Welcome to the first Mount Royal College Explore IT exercise in Gene Hunting.

In this exploration, we'll take a look at how DNA stores information and how scientists identify what particular genes do. DNA is a very, VERY long molecule. To find out what a particular piece is for, a person (most often a scientist) must search -- or rather HUNT-- for the genetic meaning. At the end, we examine how YOU can use the DNA code yourself!

Let's go catch some genes!
