NISER General Activities - The Biology, Chemistry and Physics of DNA and the Mathematical Methods for DNA Modeling, Analysis and Visualization
Summary
This is an interactive hands-on educational activity that describes the fundamentals of DNA (DeoxyriboNucleic Acid), its importance for all living species and its implications for the diversity of life on Earth. Specifically, this multi-disciplinary NISER activity discusses DNA structure, biochemical and biophysical characteristics, half-time life, mutation rate, variability across species and its relation to proteins.
