Online Genetics Resources

An Introduction to Genetics, M.J. Farabee. A good introduction to monohybrid and dihybrid crosses and Mendel. Also has links to other genetics resources.

A New View of Statistics. Are you taking statistics this semester? Are you mystified by statistics? Then check out this very nice tutorial by Will Hopkins from Sportscience. Very Useful for anyone who needs to understand statistics. Highly recommended.

Assortment of Chromosomes in Meiosis: http://wsrv.clas.virginia.edu/~rjh9u/meiosis1.html

Pea Soup Investigate monohybrid crosses and then dihybrid crosses. Note the correct link as of 09/03/01is: http://www.sonic.net/~nbs/projects/anthro201/exper/

Profiles in Science. Contains biographical and correspondence about some of the founders of molecular genetics including Avery and Nirenberg: http://profiles.nlm.nih.gov/

Genetics Science Learning Center: http://gslc.genetics.utah.edu/

MendelWeb Has simulations and references for Mendelian Genetics including links to Mendel's original paper.

NCBI: National Center for Biotechnology Information. Important Collection of Databases for human and general genetics. Human genome links links to OMIM, PUBMED, BLAST and other goodies.

Bt Resources

Why the Future Doesn't Need Us. You have heard of utopia. In this article Bill Joy, one of the pioneers of modern computer technology asks us to consider the possibility that our new technologies could lead to the opposite of a utopia- namely a dystopia. Heavy reading both worth it.
