Exploring Genomics Data. The Genomics Explorers provide an iterative way for students to choose strategies for asking and addressing biologically interesting questions using a range of genomics tools. Select which Explorer you wish to explore: The Genomics Explorer helps students: become inspired about biology develop a literature-based understanding of important quantitative approaches, define interesting questions that can be addressed with data, make connections between genes and their biological functions, analyze and critically evaluate bioinformatic data, connect bioinformatic analyses with wet lab and field experiments, develop and test a viable hypothesis by bringing together the literature, classroom knowledge, and analysis of data.

MYCN v-myc myelocytomatosis viral related oncogene, neuroblastoma derived (avian) [Homo sapiens] - Gene result. Danny Hillis: Understanding cancer through proteomics. Genetic Updata Conferences | SamRhine.com. Cracking the Code of Life. Cracking the Code of Life PBS Airdate: April 17, 2001 ROBERT KRULWICH: When I look at this—and these are the three billion chemical letters, instructions for a human being—my eyes glaze over. But when scientist Eric Lander looks at this he sees stories. ERIC LANDER (Whitehead Institute/MIT): The genome is a storybook that's been edited for a couple billion years. And you could take it to bed like A Thousand and One Arabian Nights, and read a different story in the genome every night.

ROBERT KRULWICH: This is the story of one of the greatest scientific adventures ever, and at the heart of it is a small, very powerful molecule, DNA. For the past ten years, scientists all over the world have been painstakingly trying to read the tiny instructions buried inside our DNA. J. ROBERT KRULWICH: And what it's telling us is so surprising and so strange and so unexpected. ERIC LANDER: How different are you from a banana? ERIC LANDER: You may feel different... ROBERT KRULWICH: I eat a banana. We asked Dr. DOE Joint Genome Institute. 1000 Genomes.

Virtual Transgenic Fly Lab. MendelWeb Homepage 97.1. Talking Glossary of Genetic Terms. Glossary Home | Text Version Designed to help learners at any level better understand genetic terms Guided by national science standards Explained by scientists at the NIH The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) created the Talking Glossary of Genetic Terms to help everyone understand the terms and concepts used in genetic research.

In addition to definitions, specialists in the field of genetics share their descriptions of terms, and many terms include images, animation and links to related terms. Enter a search term or explore the list of terms by selecting a letter from the alphabet on the left and then select from the terms revealed. (A text-only version is available from here.) The Talking Glossary At the bottom of most pages in the Talking Glossary are links to help you get the most out of this glossary.
