The Geniverse software is being developed as part of a five-year research project funded by the National Science Foundation. Still in its early stages, a Beta version of the software is currently being piloted in six schools throughout New England. We invite you to try the current Beta version, keeping in mind that you may encounter errors or pages that are not fully functional. If you encounter any problem, it may help to refresh or reload the web page.

The curriculum contains a lab component consisting of several genetics activities covering topics such as inheritance and meiosis. As students uncover the secrets of the dragon genome, they publish their findings on a blog shared with their classmates and teacher. In this Beta version, the lab activities are available but the blog is not.
