Biology Animation Library: DNA Learning Center
"The mission of the Dolan DNA Learning Center is to prepare students and families to thrive in the gene age. We envision a day when all elementary students are exposed to principles of genetics and disease risk; when all high school students have the opportunity to do hands-on experiments with DNA; and when all families have access to genetic information they need to make informed health care choices."

Molecular Biology Websites

CMS Molecular Biology Resource
"A compendium of electronic and Internet-accessible tools and resources for molecular biology, biotechnology, molecular evolution, biochemistry, and biomolecular modeling."
Computational Molecular Biology at NIH and Beyond
"The NIH Library is an open stacks biomedical research library whose collection and services are developed to support the programs of the National Institutes of Health and selected U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) agencies."
eSkeletons
"The eSkeletons Project is a website with digitized images and animations of human and primate skeletons for the study of comparative anatomy. Students can view regions of skeletons from any orientation as well as muscle and joint information."
ExPASy Proteomics Server
"The ExPASy (Expert Protein Analysis System) proteomics server of the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB) is dedicated to the analysis of protein sequences and structures as well as 2-D PAGE."
Institute for Molecular Virology
"The Institute for Molecular Virology is a research institute administered by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Graduate School. The IMV has a mission to conduct research and training in the area of virology, primarily at the molecular level, and to serve as the coordinating focus on the UW-Madison campus for research and training in virology."
Model Organisms for Biomedical Research
"As a public sponsor of biomedical research, NIH is committed to supporting national and international efforts that encourage the sharing and dissemination of important research resources. NIH is also cognizant of the need to support reasonable incentive structures that facilitate commercial development or translation of basic research findings."
National Center for Biotechnology Information
"The National Center for Biotechnology Information advances science and health by providing access to biomedical and genomic information."
OMIM: Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man
"OMIM is a comprehensive, authoritative, and timely compendium of human genes and genetic phenotypes. The full-text, referenced overviews in OMIM contain information on all known mendelian disorders and over 12,000 genes. OMIM focuses on the relationship between phenotype and genotype. It is updated daily, and the entries contain copious links to other genetics resources."

Center for Conservation and Evolutionary Genetics
"CCEG scientists are at the forefront of the emerging fields of evolutionary and conservation genetics. They were the first to analyze and document the decrease in survival and reproductive success caused by inbreeding in zoo animals, and took the lead in developing solutions such as software for genetic management. They were among the first to develop methods of non-invasive genotyping to identify species and individuals, and to estimate kinship and population sizes of animals in natural popula
Dolan DNA Learning Center
"The mission of the Dolan DNA Learning Center is to prepare students and families to thrive in the gene age. We envision a day when all elementary students are exposed to principles of genetics and disease risk; when all high school students have the opportunity to do hands-on experiments with DNA; and when all families have access to genetic information they need to make informed health care choices."
Genes and Disease
"Genes and Disease is a collection of articles that discuss genes and the diseases that they cause. These genetic disorders are organized by the parts of the body that they affect. As some diseases affect various body systems, they appear in more than one chapter. With each genetic disorder, the underlying mutation(s) is discussed, along with clinical features and links to key websites."
Genetics Virtual Library
"Sponsored by the Biological Systems Science Division of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Biological and Environmental Research."
Genomic Science Program
"The U.S. Department of Energy's Genomic Science program uses microbial and plant genomic data, high-throughput analytical technologies, and modeling and simulation to develop a predictive understanding of biological systems behavior relevant to solving energy and environmental challenges including bioenergy production, environmental remediation, and climate stabilization."
National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI)
"The National Human Genome Research Institute began as the National Center for Human Genome Research (NCHGR), which was established in 1989 to carry out the role of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the International Human Genome Project (HGP). The HGP was developed in collaboration with the United States Department of Energy and begun in 1990 to map the human genome."
NCBI Genome
"This resource organizes information on genomes including maps, chromosomes, assemblies, and annotations."
NIH Stem Cell Information Page
"To allow scientists to select which lines are most suitable for their intended experiments, the research community has consistently requested that available cell lines be more fully characterized. To address this important need, the NIH Intramural Research Program has created the NIH Stem Cell Unit (SCU)."
PLoS Genetics
"Genetics and genomics research has grown at a bewildering pace in the past 15 years. The techniques of these fields are being applied to a wealth of biological questions and experimental systems. PLoS Genetics reflects the full breadth and interdisciplinary nature of this research by publishing outstanding original contributions in all areas of biology. PLoS Genetics publishes human studies, as well as research on model organisms—from mice and flies, to plants and bacteria."
Talking Glossary of Genetic Terms
"The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) created the Talking Glossary of Genetic Terms to help everyone understand the terms and concepts used in genetic research. In addition to definitions, specialists in the field of genetics share their descriptions of terms, and many terms include images, animation and links to related terms."
