Case It! Project

Case It! is an NSF-sponsored, collaborative BioQUEST project whereby high school and university students use molecular biology simulations to analyze case studies based primarily on human genetic and infectious diseases, then collaborate with other students to discuss biological and ethical issues associated with these cases. See the Case It Home Page for details.
