Avon High School Students had the opportunity to be DNA detectives with Heath Space Cleveland. After an overview of DNA and their roll in human development the students were divided in to groups of 4 and 5 and assigned a suspect of a crime screen. Using a sample of that person’s DNA sequence. The students cut the DNA sequences and into manageable numbers for comparison to a sample taken from the victim.
