Transcript
Student Tutorials A Visit with Dr. Francis Crick Provides the transcript of an interview with one of the scientists who discovered the helical structure of DNA. (Access Excellence, The National Health Museum, Washington, DC) DNA Interactive Provides tutorials, illustrations, animations, and interactive simulations on DNA, genes, gene structure and regulation, and genomics. (Dolan DNA Learning Center, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY) Gene Almanac Documents how our understanding of DNA and genetics developed. Animations, audio-video resources, biographical information, and related web resources enhance understanding of genetics concepts. (Dolan DNA Learning Center, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY) Mendelian Genetics Provides background information on genetics, crosses, sex-linked traits, and pedigrees, and includes numerous problem sets, as well as solutions. This site is part of the MIT Biology Hypertextbook. (The Experimental Study Group, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA) Understanding Genetics Provides an overview of the structure and function of DNA (Zooming into DNA), as well as ethical issues of genetics that students can consider. (The Tech Museum of Innovation, San Jose, CA) Teacher Resources MendelWeb Explores origins of classical genetics, introductory data analysis, elementary plant science, and the history and literature of science. Mendel's experiments are documented in both primary and secondary sources. Additional web resources are available. (Brown University, Providence, RI) Science News Provides links to educational resources, databases, and discussions of recent developments in genetics, as well as their social, legal, and ethical implications. (Biotechnology Industry Organization, Washington, DC) The Human Genome Serves as a primer on genome research and its implications for society and medicine, written for students and nonscientists. The site contains descriptions of research methods, reports of latest advances, and interactive components illustrating individual chromosomes, their structure, and descriptions of important genes. (The Wellcome Trust, London, United Kingdom) Simulations DNA Detective Enables students to review the use of DNA fingerprints as evidence in criminal and civil court cases and use this information to "solve" three true cases. (Dolan DNA Learning Center, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY) Recovering the Romanovs Provides the opportunity to analyze polymorphisms to determine if the remains of the Romanov family have been uncovered. Background information on the use of DNA for forensic analysis is included. (Dolan DNA Learning Center, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY) Extensions A Clone in Sheep's Clothing Explores the science behind, and implications of, the cloning of a sheep from adult cells. (Scientific American, New York, NY) Blazing a Genetic Trail Details the causes and mechanisms of, and cures for, genetic diseases. (Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Chevy Chase, MD) Genetic Counseling Describes the work that genetic counselors do and links to a variety of related resources. Sites provide career information, explore the identification of disease-causing genes, and profile the difficult decisions that individuals subsequently face. (Office of Science, U.S. Department of Energy, Washington, DC) Genetics Home Reference Provides information on human genetic conditions and the genes responsible for them. An explanatory section on basic and molecular genetics is included. (U.S. National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD) Putting DNA to Work Explores the role of DNA in disease detection, crop modifications, and forensics. Tutorials are supplemented by activities allowing for exploration of DNA sequences, genetic testing, blood analyses, microarrays, and mutations. (Marian Koshland Science Museum, The National Academies, Washington, DC) The National Human Genome Research Institute Includes project information, a genetics glossary, and links to genome-related sites. (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD) Biology Gateways @Genetics Targets web and Medline resources related to human genetics. (Medplaza, Inc., Los Angeles, CA) Intute: Health & Life Sciences Features evaluated and well-annotated web resources, which can be searched via keywords or browsed. Categories include cell biology, molecular biology, microbiology, genetics, and biochemistry, among others. (The Intute Consortium, The University of Manchester, Manchester, United Kingdom) CTC: Biology Provides web resources for biology, divided into the categories of vertebrates, invertebrates, plants and fungi, ecology, and DNA. (Cornell University, Ithaca, NY) Frank Potter's Science Gems: Life Science Provides a list of web sites that can be used for life science instruction. Appropriate grade level is indicated for each site. (Frank Potter, University of California, Irvine, CA) The Virtual Library: Biosciences Provides an extensive list of links for all major biological disciplines and categories. (Virtual Library, maintained by Stanford University, Stanford, CA)
