Biology Education Tools
Random Sequence Generator
Generates a random DNA sequence of user-specified length.
Random Codon Generator
Generates a random codon. Has options to show the corresponding amino acid, and present the codon as the corresponding DNA sequence from the template strand. Designed be used with the codon bingo table. Candy optional.
Codon Bingo Table
Creates a 5 by 5 grid of cells with randomly generated codons.
Finite-Size Population Genetic Drift Simulator
Simulates genetic drift in a finite population. Allows the user to adjust the initial allele frequencies and the population size. The user can export data to a csv file for further analysis.
There is also a workshop that can be used as a virtual 'lab exercise'.
Genetic Drift and Selection Simulator
Simulates genetic drift and natural selection in a finite population. The user can set parameters for population size, initial allele frequency, and selection coefficients against the genotypes. The user can export data to a csv file for further analysis.
The accompanying workshop has a set of questions and activities based on the simulator.
