In this project, students, acting as young explorers and researchers, step into a virtual world and help young Gregory in his search for one specific gene that might play a role in tail regeneration of lizards. They hunt DNA samples of different lizards in the jungle, and back in the virtual lab, they extract DNA, run a PCR, and do more techniques until they can come to a conclusion whether the gene plays a role in tail regeneration.
