BioDiscovery Lab: Spooky Genetics

Uncover ancient mysteries through DNA! Thanks to cutting-edge technology, scientists can now unlock the secrets of ancient DNA, revealing incredible details about people and animals that lived thousands of years ago! In this exploratory experience, you’ll journey from bones to DNA to real-life stories, piecing together the past through genetic clues. Put your detective skills to the test, decode genetic puzzles, and share your discoveries with others—you can even create a drawing to bring history to life!
