Secrets of the Sequence

“If you are look­ing to get in on the ground floor of the DNA sequenc­ing that occurs in a high-tech lab­o­ra­tory, this video series is a fine place to start. Pro­duced with help from a vari­ety of spon­sors, such as the National Acad­e­mies and Pfizer, this site from Vir­ginia Com­mon­wealth Uni­ver­sity brings together 50 of the best videos from the pub­lic tele­vi­sion series “Secrets of the Sequence” to “assist teach­ers in the appli­ca­tion of genetic research across the biol­ogy cur­ricu­lum.” Each of the videos is 8–10 min­utes long, and they are divided into top­i­cal areas that include anatomy, bioethics, and DNA. Vis­i­tors can down­load each video, or just stream them directly from the site. Finally, the site also includes a num­ber of help­ful edu­ca­tional work­sheets and guides for teachers.”
