yEvo Lab
yEvo is an authentic research experience designed for students to observe the process of evolution in their classrooms using yeast as a model organism.
We use a franchise model so each classroom can tailor our modules to their specific curricula at the high school or undergraduate level, and select the right level of involvement with our research laboratories for their needs.
Observe the process of evolution
Learn how changes in DNA impact traits
