- The Virtual Fly Lab
- A superb simulation of crosses with Drosophila melanogaster. It is far
quicker and easier than the real thing, and also has chi-square capabilities to analyze
the progeny of crosses.
- Web Companion for Concepts of Genetics by Klug
and Cummings
- This web site is for the text book for this course and has supplemental material
including on-line multiple-choice quizzes and updates about current research and
controversial topics
-
- Index to Glosssary
of Genetic Terms
- A large on-line glossary of genetic terms.
-
- MendelWeb
- This web-site has Mendel's paper in German and an annotated English translation. A
good place to brush up on your Mendelian Genetics.
-
- Classic Papers in Genetics
(broken link)
- Copies of original genetic papers written by Mendel, Morgan, Hardy, etc.
-
- Primer on Molecular Genetics
(Department of Energy) (broken link)
- Has excellent discussions of subjects like Southern blots, RFLP mapping, DNA sequencing,
etc.
-
- Genome Analysis: A Laboratory
Manual (comes up genome database)
- A tutorial on what to do after you have cloned a gene (how to search databases, analyze
your sequence, etc.
-
- KUMC Genetics
Education Center
- Kansas University site with links to many other educational sites.
For Current Events and News, see:
- ScienceDaily Magazine
- Has current science news
InScight: A current news site produced
by Academic Press and Science magazine
Discover (broken link):
Discover magazine, has lots of popular stories about biology and genetics
- Science's Next Wave (broken link):
Career information for young scientist - want to know what's happening in the
science job market? Produced byScience magazine.
News in Bioscience and
Medicine: News about molecular genetics, in particular what's happening online
(new web sites, newsgroups, new services, etc.)
Reviews of hot topics in Biology (CSA):
Abstracts and reviews of "hot" areas in biology from Cambridge Scientific
Abstracts
Pages with links to lots of interesting sites
Genetics (VL):
Virtual Library page on genetics. Has links to all of the different organism
databases (look here for dog, cat, tree, etc. databases).
CSUBIOWEB - GENETICS/MOLECULAR BIOLOGY:
This site has links to many different genetic sites with descriptions of the sites.
BioChemNet : Another site with lots of
links, including links to Biochemistry sites and other Biolgy sites
Agricultural Genome Information Server
(AGIS): Links to many agricultural sites (wheat genome, cow genome, etc.)
Pedro's BioMolecular Research
Tools - Part 1: A collection of links to all of the sites that will help you
analyse a DNA or protein sequence. Do you want to search for intron exon boundaries in a
genomic sequence? Check for a transmembrane domain in your gene? Compare your gene
to other genes? etc. This is a very large site and may take a little while to load.
On-line Databases
Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man
(OMIM): This is a searchable database with information about most known human
genes and genetic diseases. It includes phenotypes, inheritance (dominant, recessive,
etc.), chromosomal location, different alleles, information about the gene (if it has been
cloned), and a bibliography.
Search OMIM -- Online
Mendelian Inheritance in Man: NCBI version of OMIM (use this one if the one
above is busy)
Mouse gene database (also OMIM):
This includes mouse genes along with OMIM and can also be used to search for
information about human genes.
FlyBase: This is a searchable database
with information about most known Drosophila genes. It includes phenotypes,
inheritance (dominant, recessive, etc.), chromosomal location, different alleles,
information about the gene (if it has been cloned), and a bibliography.
Entrez: This is a searchable
database of jornal articles about cloned genes. You get the citation of the article and
links to the DNA and protein sequences. It will also search for related
papers based on
DNA sequence similarity (e.g., itcan find a paper about a similar gene
even if the
authors were unaware of the similarity).
Search Genbank: This
is a searchable database of all known DNA sequences. If you know the name of the gene you
can search this database for the DNA sequence.
BLAST Database Searches at NCBI: If
you have a DNA or protein sequence you can search the entire genbank database for any
similar sequences.
GenLink: A human genetics resource: More
human chromosome maps with locations of all mapped genes.
Transgenic Mouse Database: A
database with information about all of the different genetically altered mouse strains.-
