The Boston Women in Bioinformatics Booth: DNA by Design
Become a polymerase and make your own colorful DNA bracelet at our booth! Match the nucleotide beads, twist the strands into a double helix, and watch out because if our DNA inspectors spot a bead out of place you will need find and fix the mutation!
Younger scientists can create a simpler, single-stranded RNA-inspired bracelet by choosing colors and making their own pattern. Take home your wearable piece of science!
Interested in volunteering at our booth? Reach out to Samantha Klasfeld or Iqra Amin on Slack!
