What is New in the EVOLUTION/CREATION
discussion.
Here you will find answers to questions asked by creationists about
evolutionary theory.
Molecular and Cell Biology
of Cancer
This site deals with the molecular and cellular biology of cancer with some
clinical aspects. Interested in modern biology and the future of medicine
should look over this page.
Biology at Woods
Hole
Here is a Great Site for the Biology Minded- Especially those interested
in The Biology in Seas and Oceans. There is Information About Summer Courses
too!
Biology at Cold Spring Harbor
Here is a great site for Molecular Biology, Related Publications and
Hot Courses too!
A Dictionary of Cell
Biology
This site provides a useful tool for both the Introductory the Cell
Biologist.

Visual
Models of Morphogenesis: A Guided Tour
Diverse patterns of developmental biology are difficult to render. This
site allows you new ways to see developmental patterns.
A Great
Site to Find Molecular Biology Tools
Molecular Biology
Lab Manual From Univ of Maryland
This site provides information on sterile technique and select experiments
in Molecular Biology.
Mendelian Diseases
in Man
Here is an online version of Mendelian Inheritance in Man, the comprehensive
source on genetic disorders, by Dr. Victor McKusick. Search the OMIM database
using a keyword of an interesting genetic disease.
Your Banding
Chromosomes Visit schematic representations of the 23 pairs of human
chromosomes with the giemsa banding patterns on them.
Chromosomes that
Move!
Dr. Peter Engelhardt at the University of Helsinki, Finland, shows electron
microscopy tomography of human chromosomes.
Live (almost) from California State University,
Karyotype allows you to analyze images of chromosome squashes. You need
to scan your chromosome squash and convert it to .gif files to use this
program.
How big are your
chromosomes?
This site gives you the most recent size estimates for human chromosomes.
FLY-BASE
This site is the hHome for Drosophila geneticists and it contains genetic
and other information collected from all current and past scientific studies
on the FAMOUS fruit fly.
Virtual Fly Lab
This is a laboratory simulation where you design and mate flies. An excellent
teaching tool and way of reviewing the principles of Mendelian genetics.
The World
of Drosophila
Part of the Biosciences section of the World-Wide Web Virtual Library, hee
are some ideas and evidences using Drosophila melanogaster for research
in genetics and developmental biology.
