This is a great lab that I will be incorporating into my lesson plan on Molecular Genetics. Each student will have access to their own computer to experience the virtual lab. I may however, do an electrophoresis demonstration, because it great to see the real thing. But I think the University of Utah did a great job for this virtual lab. I will also share this and other websites with students to visit for more virtual labs and information on biotechnology

This is a useful tool for students. The animation really helps put things in perspective. The explanations underneath help with the presentation too.

Technical Remarks:

My only concern is the sound effects, the sound effects can get a little distracting and you have to make sure the the lights are off if this is going to be on a projector, since it uses a lot of bright colors.
