Genetics

tutorials showing the following: genetic terms definitions, animations of crosses, monohybrid cross, dihybrid cross, test cross, independent assortment

Discover the concepts and experiments that define the fields of genetics and molecular biology. This animated primer features the work of over 100 scientists and researchers.

Enter some facts about yourself (phenotypes) and your parents, and I'll tell you about your genes (genotypes)!

In this animated and interactive object, learners examine ABO blood antigens and Rh antigens and their compatibility. Tagged as blood, type, ab, antigen, agglutinations, rh, rhgam,

In humans, there is a gene that controls formation of hemoglobin, the protein in the red blood cells which carries oxygen to the body tissue. The normal allele of this gene codes for normal hemoglobin.

Excellent flash activities for many genetic topics

Working out Punnett Square Examples Using Punnett squares you can work out the probabilities that children of the parents in each example will have particular phenotypes and genotypes. Monohybrid Crosses Dominant B and recessive b Cross between Heterozygous (Bb) parents Dominant B and recessive b Cross between a Homozygous dominant (BB) parent and a Heterozygous (Bb) parent Sources: Part of theAthro, Limited web site.

Practice with X linked genetics with these calico cat problems. Calico cats have coloration based on the expression of a gene on the X chromosome, resulting in black and orange patches.

ompleted in 2003, the Human Genome Project (HGP) was a 13-year project coordinated by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health. During the early years of the HGP, the Wellcome Trust (U.K.) became a major partner; additional contributions came from Japan, France, Germany, China, and others.

Video now available Integration of Genomics into Nursing Practice On June 28th, Kathleen Calzone, Ph.D., R.N., presented Integration of Genomics into Nursing Practice for the Genomics in Medicine Lecture Series. Video of this talk, which includes an overview of the state of genomic healthcare applications, is now available.

Proteins are made up of hundreds or thousands of smaller units called amino acids, which are attached to one another in long chains. There are 20 different types of amino acids that can be combined to make a protein. The sequence of amino acids determines each protein's unique 3-dimensional structure and its specific function.

For the last decade or so, progressive cancer treatments involved taking samples of tumors, testing the cells to determine the genetic makeup, and then prescribing medicines targeted to specific mutations. There are many benefits to this approach, but it doesn't always work.
