Download a free selection of case studies written for secondary & college pupils that reveal the current research happening at The Roslin Institute and across the University of Edinburgh's Easter Bush Campus. These interactive resources encourage critical thinking and give opportunities for you pupils to discuss and engage with real science. How to Build a Bone!Before we do any work in the lab, scientists have to make sure that the animals they're working with are the correct genotype. This case study explores what the phosphatase enzyme PHOSPHO1 has to do with bone mineralisation, and explains the process of genotyping.
