 Websites presented in alphabetical order DNA Interactive 
 "This site is dedicated to the moment on February 28, 1953 when Jim Watson and Francis Crick discovered the double-helix structure of DNA — and to the scientists who breathed life into that structure." The site features a chronology that includes scientist biographies and video clips of interviews, and information about the discovery of DNA structure, the human manipulation of genes, genetic mapping, and current applications in healthcare and forensic analysis. Also includes a glossary. http://www.dnai.org/ Topics: Biology, Mysteries and More Last updated Oct 8, 2003 National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)
Overwhelmed by the rapidly developing biotechnology field? Turn here for a "better understanding of molecular processes affecting human health and disease." Hot Spots offers users several resources about studying and mapping genes; About NCBI includes a primer covering bioinformatics, molecular modeling, phylogenetics, and other fields. There are also lists of tutorials and courses, glossaries, and links to Web sites and databases with relevant materials. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ Topics: Biology, Technology Last updated Oct 28, 2002 NCBI Taxonomy Homepage
The National Center for Biotechnology Information provides this quick and easy tool for finding the complete lineage for the close to 80,000 species whose sequences have been made public by the collaborating sequence databases. Searches can be made by common name as well as scientific name. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/tax.html/ Topics: Biology, Science, Science Last updated Aug 23, 2002 NCBI: Entrez
This site allows you to search a "genetics" subset of MEDLINE as well as the NCBI protein, nucleotide, and genome and the MMDB 3-D protein structures databases. A full range of genetic codes are presented, and you can also browse or search the NCBI/GenBank taxonomy, other databases, and several online books. From the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Entrez/ Topics: Biology, Health, Health & Medical Disciplines, Science, Technology Last updated Aug 23, 2002 Protocol Online
This site features a database of research protocols "for life scientists seeking comprehensive information on laboratory protocols and methods for bioinformatics, molecular biology, immunology, microbiology, proteomics, and cell biology." The site "contains protocols contributed by worldwide researchers as well as links to web protocols. ... Protocol Online also hosts discipline specific discussion forums." Searchable. http://www.protocol-online.org/ Topics: Biology, Technology Last updated Jun 2, 2004 Putting DNA to Work
This exhibit provides background on deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), including "the basics of where DNA is found, how similar DNA is between humans and other species and how traits are inherited from one generation to the next." Features essays, photos, activities exploring topics such as DNA in criminal justice and genetic modification of agricultural crops, and related website links and further reading. From the Marian Koshland Science Museum of the National Academy of Sciences. http://www.koshland-science-museum.org/exhibitdna/ Topics: Biology Last updated Jul 31, 2006 Secret of Photo 51
This companion site to a PBS NOVA episode "investigates the seminal role that Rosalind Franklin and her remarkable X-ray photograph played" in the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA. Includes background materials, program transcript, images, a slide show, and related resources. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/photo51/ Topics: Biology, Notable People, Notable People: Women, Photograph Collections, Photograph Collections: Regional, Science, Science Last updated Feb 28, 2005 |
