Gene Expression Interactive Demo
Gene Expression Interactive Demo is a free, interactive learning demo from the Introductory Biology course on Lykke. It helps you build intuition for Transcription Factors, mRNA Splicing, Epigenetics, Ribosome Function. Play with it directly in your browser — it features 3 sliders and a live visual canvas. This demo lives in the “Gene Expression and Regulation” section of the course.
How to use this demo
- Drag the sliders to change the inputs and watch the visualization update in real time.
- Experiment freely — there's nothing to break, and every change is reversible.
What you'll explore
- Transcription Factors
- mRNA Splicing
- Epigenetics
- Ribosome Function
- Genetic Code
Frequently asked questions
What does the Gene Expression Interactive Demo demo do?
The processes of transcription and translation, including epigenetic and transcriptional control. Gene Expression Interactive Demo turns that idea into something you can manipulate directly and watch respond.
What Introductory Biology concept does Gene Expression Interactive Demo teach?
The processes of transcription and translation, including epigenetic and transcriptional control. It focuses on Transcription Factors, mRNA Splicing, Epigenetics, Ribosome Function, Genetic Code from the “Gene Expression and Regulation” section.
What can I control in Gene Expression Interactive Demo?
The sliders change the key inputs. Every change updates the visualization in real time, so you can see exactly how each variable affects the outcome.
How does Gene Expression Interactive Demo fit into the Introductory Biology course?
7.016 Introductory Biology provides a comprehensive exploration of the molecular and cellular foundations of life, integrating biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. The course emphasizes the structure and regul… This demo is the interactive piece for the “Gene Expression and Regulation” section.

What will I understand better after using Gene Expression Interactive Demo?
You'll build intuition for Transcription Factors, mRNA Splicing, Epigenetics, Ribosome Function, Genetic Code — and, crucially, see how they behave when you change the inputs, which is hard to get from a textbook or lecture on Introductory Biology alone.
