Good all around website, one of my favorites: http://www.dnalc.org

a new really cool website- I don’t know much about it, but it is also put out by the Cold Spring

Harbor folks http://www.dnai.org/index.htm

an online textbook on genetics- very cool http://www.dnaftb.org/ genetic science learning center- another website that offers lots of info about biotechnology, techniques used in the lab, genetic counseling and genetics in general- written so high school aged folks can understand what they say http://gslc.genetics.utah.edu/ pbs website on a 4 part video series on DNA and its effects on society- how has DNA research influenced how we live and work?- I missed taping the first video, but have a copy of the last three segments. If you want to borrow the videotape, let me know. We might watch a segment or two in class, if we have time. http://www.pbs.org/wnet/dna/ online Mendelian inheritance in man- a source of info for any genetic disease- can be complicated, but has good info http://www3.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/omim/ national website on biotechnology- has cutting edge info, human genome links, links to genbank

(sequence databank), and lots more http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ tutorials for BLAST, Entrez, Pubmed, NCBI news, resource publications, map viewer exercises, structure tutorial, NCBI handbook- if you don’t use them in this class, you might in future classes in college http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Education/index.html

A science primer- info on bioinformatics, genome mapping, microarray technology, molecular genetics, pharmacogenomics, phylogenomics, and more http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/About/primer/ human genome resources http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/guide/human/
