The Illumina Foundation and Discovery Education partnered to create DNA Decoded to inspire middle and high school teachers to unlock the power of genomics and impact the future of their students. DNA Decoded provides ready-to-go, standards-aligned lessons and activities for teachers and students to explore the ways they can see genomics in their everyday lives.
DNA Decoded will show you the impact of DNA beyond ancestry or traits. Explore how our genes interact with one another and the environment through the new field of genomics. You will also learn how STEM professionals use genomics to fight diseases, such as sickle cell anemia and cancer, and boost the health of the world’s food supply. DNA Decoded will inspire your students to unlock the power of genomics and explore related STEM careers.
