PHOSPHO1 is an enzyme which is important for the proper development of our skeleton in infancy. You can learn about the function of PHOSPHO1 in the case study which comes with this dataset. Here we’ve provided you with real-life data on how expression of the Phospho1 gene changes during development of the mouse skeleton, and how much bone is present at each age. Use these data to perform your own experiment and become bone biologists!

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 from the Easter Bush Science Outreach Centre explores what the phosphatase enzyme PHOSPHO1 has to do with bone mineralisation, and explains the process of genotyping

This photocopiable resource has been developed by the Easter Bush Science Outreach Centre to help support teachers who are teaching the theory of gel electrophoresis. Gel electrophoresis is a technique used in the lab to separate DNA fragments of different sizes. This paper based simulation activity can be used with your learners to reinforce how gel electrophoresis works.
