I am still using the original version and love it. This is the best animated description of the DNA model that I have seen and I have a medical background. I was so impressed that I also purchased the replication APP as well. Very well conceived and developed.

Great app

The graphics and the models are amazing but it really doesn't clearly define they processes. Pretty to look at it...😊

Not really !!

I wont give it even a star. The software offers simple information as any website or google search would!. I thought you can construct/manipulate things much more than what it offers.

Anyway, for those who has no knowledge about DNA, it would worth the try.

DNA Model

Extremely useful in the classroom I highly recommend it. Interactive, it invites students to play with the DNAstrands.

okayyy

this app is okay but it is not perfect, it does not show you everything about DNA but if you need it for basics then get it.
