Helpful tool for investigating the applications of recombinant DNA technology and molecular biology techniques to biotechnology.

The Genome Database
The Genome Database (GDB) site provides human gene mapping resources such as gene maps, clones, and several links to major molecular databases. Entries are cross-linked to the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) online catalog of human genetic traits. Search the database by keyword, name of accession ID, gene name or symbol, query forms. You can insert/edit data, or you may access reports and statistics, documentation for developers, and related resources. Use the GDB Browser to search along cell lines, citations, contacts, libraries, loci, maps, mutations, polymorphisms, probes, or OMIM. An international collaboration in support of the Human Genome Project, the GDB stores and curates genomic mapping data submitted by researchers worldwide and provides this information electronically to the scientific community.

Pseudomonas Genome Project
A collaboration between the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the University of Washington Genome Center, and PathoGenesis Corporation to determine the complete genetic make-up of PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA, a bacterial pathogen responsible for significant infections in humans. To expedite the availability of this information to the world-wide research community, the genome sequences generated by the Pseudomonas Genome Project are being published at this Internet site with quarterly updates.

Human Biology
Select Human Genetics and learn about pedigrees, chromosome mapping, and human genetic disorders. Complete with practice problems. Also explores DNA forensics and diagnosis of karyotype displays..

Online Mendelian Inheritance in Animals (OMIA)
This online textbook gives visitors access to a comprehensive database of genetic traits in nonhuman animals-a good resource for complete information and references. Search Species in MIA, or search Disorders in MIA-"Molecular defects in Mendelian disorders," "Disorders with a linked marker", or "Potential animal models of human disorders"-to call forth summary lists of entries (themselves links). Narrow queries by designating field restrictions (e.g., MIM number, pathology summary, control, prevalence, molecular genetics, genotype test, etc.).

MendelWeb
This site is a resource for educators and students interested in the origins of classical genetics, introductory data analysis, elementary plant science, and the history and literature of science. It explores the origins of classical genetics, emphasizing Mendel's research and 1865 paper, "Experiments in Plant Hybridization." Visitors may use MendelWeb for accessing copies of Mendel's original paper and its English translation in a variety of formats. The English hypertext features links to glossaries, introductory tutorials, Mendel's German text, biographical information, discussion questions, and exercises. Or visit MendelRoom, accessible through BioMoo or Diversity University.

Virtual FlyLab
Play the role of research geneticist and learn the rules of genetic inheritance by designing and mating Drosophila melanogaster with various phenotypes. Visitors design matings between female and male fruit flies containing genetic mutations-bristles, body color, antennae, eye color, eye shape, wing size, wing shape, wing veins, and wing angle. After selecting mutations for the parent flies and clicking the "Mate Flies" button, a document is created that depicts images of the parent and offspring, along with summary tables. Virtual FlyLab applies the correct rules of genetic inheritance to these mutations in obtaining the offspring; it is the participant's job to determine these rules based on the experimental results. Other useful information at the site includes tips for using Virtual FlyLab for genetics instruction.

Web Cutter
This site provides a free, online program for restriction mapping nucleotide sequences-a great tool for fostering analytical skills. It features a customizable enzyme database, monthly enzyme updates, automatic sequence search-and-input, quick links to gene searches, and worldwide accessibility via the Internet. Participants may enter a DNA sequence by pasting it from a file to the site, by querying GenBank through a term-search for that sequence, or by linking to a database (the NCBI GenBank or the European Bioinformatics Institute) for a more sophisticated search. Participants also can specify the kind of sequence analysis desired and the enzymes to use.
