# Event Details - **Event Name**: Saturday DNA! - Dairy Detectives! - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 06 Jun, 2026 at 09:30 am – Sat, 06 Jun, 2026 at 11:30 am - **Event Description**: Help solve the mystery of the mixed-up families by using DNA and the gene for lactase persistence to crack the case!About this EventUh-oh—there’s been a mix-up in the lab! During an experiment on the genetics of lactase persistence, DNA samples from several “families” got scrambled. Now no one knows which kids belong to which parents!Here’s the scoop: about one-third of humans can keep digesting milk into adulthood (lactase persistence), while others lose that ability after childhood and may become lactose intolerant. It’s all written in their DNA—but right now, that DNA is a mess. Put on your detective hat and help crack the case! Using real lab techniques and a bit of genetic sleuthing, you’ll track down the right family matches.Your mission:Run agarose gel electrophoresis to uncover the lactase persistence genotypes of each “parent” and “child”;Use Punnett squares to predict who could be related to whom;Piece together the evidence to match each child with the correct parents;Discover how human culture (like dairy farming!) helped shape this genetic trait over time.Ages 11-14, one adult chaperone required for students under 14. Chaperones must purchase their own ticket and fully participate in all program activities. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/cold-spring-harbor/saturday-dna-dairy-detectives/100001988643709869 - **Event Categories**: kids - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory | DNA Learning Center - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 28.29, max: 28.29, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Cold Spring Harbor - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory | DNA Learning Center - **lat**: 40.872956 - **long**: -73.4515315 - **full address**: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory | DNA Learning Center, 334 Main Street (25A), Cold Spring Harbor, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Saturday DNA! - Dairy Detectives! - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/abbd99697c87ff0d13e1a5ab12f5979368b9cbc5b699e636804bfcc8d50cbbf7-rimg-w1200-h678-dcdddcd7-gmir.jpg?v=1777791925 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Saturday DNA! - Dairy Detectives! being held? - **A:** Saturday DNA! - Dairy Detectives! takes place on Sat, 06 Jun, 2026 at 09:30 am to Sat, 06 Jun, 2026 at 11:30 am at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory | DNA Learning Center, 334 Main Street (25A), Cold Spring Harbor, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Saturday DNA! - Dairy Detectives!? - **A:** Saturday DNA! - Dairy Detectives! is organized by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory DNA Learning Center. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
