  • Alpha-1-Anti-Trypsin Deficiency - A detailed medical page to this important mutation. (part of the new AQA C2000 "A" level specification)  (Added: 9-Jun-2000 By: r Hits: 1045)
  • DNA from the Beginning - From DNA Learning Center, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. This is an animated tutorial on DNA, genes and heredity. The science behind each concept is explained using animations, an image gallery, video interviews, problems, biographies, and links. There are three sections, Classical Genetics, Molecules of Genetics and Organization of Genetic Material. Key features are the clear explanations of classical experiments and the excellent photographs of researchers and their labs.  (Added: 13-Sep-2004 By: DP Hits: 662)
  • DNA from the Beginning - An excellent site on the key concepts of DNA, genes and heredity. Concepts are arranged in a book style with the added value of animations, video/audio, problems and external links. Designed to give clear information to anyone interested in the topic.  (Added: 31-May-2002 By: GM Hits: 971)
  • DNA/Human Genome - A detailed section on DNA & the Human Genome Initiative. A good primer on DNA & genes.  (Added: 13-Jun-1998 By: RS Hits: 1114)
  • Epigenetics - This site is from The Epigenome Network of Excellence, a European research network dedicated to supporting high calibre science in the rapidly explanding field of epigenetics - the branch of biology which studies the causal interactions between genes and their products, which bring the phenotype into being. Included is recent research information and lots of material suitable for level three students.  (Added: 8-Sep-2006 By: DP Hits: 219)
  • Genes VII - Downloadable pdf file on Genetics (30 pages) from an O.U. text book.  (Added: 6-Mar-2000 By: PL Hits: 715)
  • Genetic and Genome - Lots of information and further links along with teaching resources from the Genetics Education Centre.  (Added: 14-Jun-2000 By: IM Hits: 698)
  • Genetics - Have you ever wondered how scientists work with tiny molecules of DNA that they can't see? Sort and measure DNA strands by using electrophoresis, yourself, in a biolab.  (Added: 16-Jan-2004 By: NF Hits: 581)
  • Life Drop - This site consists of a javascript simulation using Richard Dawkins Animorphs. The student can interact with the simulation by changing the genes of an individual animorph then observing the effect of the change as the creature evolves.  (Added: 21-Jul-2002 By: AC Hits: 618)
  • Meiosis - Another US site but with good notes and pictures on meiosis. It includes a link to an animated sequence.  (Added: 2-Dec-1999 By: r Hits: 1319)
  • Natural selection online tutorial - As the title suggests this is an online tutorial from the University of Palomar, a very authoritative tutorial.  (Added: 21-Jul-2002 By: AC Hits: 716)
  • Sexual reproduction/Meiosis & Genetics - A general US site suitable for level 3 students giving a general introduction to meiosis with links at the bottom of the page to similar pages on the human karyotype and simple Mendelain genetics.  (Added: 2-Dec-1999 By: r Hits: 918)
  • The Human Genome Initiative - An excellent site for students and staff on the sequencing of DNA.  (Added: 11-Jan-2001 By: r Hits: 467)
  • The Human Genome Initiative - Easy to understand introduction to the HGI (The mapping of Man's Genome).  (Added: 11-Jan-1999 By: r Hits: 516)
  • The Science of Cloning - Cloning friend or foe? The Web site provides easy to read information and illustrations on the science behind cloning technology. In addition there is an opportunity to discuss the subject.  (Added: 14-Aug-2002 By: GM Hits: 551)
  • Theory of evolution - A site produced by students as part of an online competition. Not as authoratative as others but does offer alternative theories and a well designed interface.  (Added: 21-Jul-2002 By: AC Hits: 495)
  • Tree of Life - This project aims to provide framework for evolutionary history and group characteristics, and to assistant in building knowledge about biological diversity.  (Added: 28-Jun-2005 By: JDt Hits: 226)
  • Tree of life Web Project - How life is classified, A collaborative Internet project containing information about phylogeny and biodiversity. Good pictures and loads of links to the lifeform of your choice!  (Added: 24-Nov-2002 By: JI Hits: 374)
