Classic Papers in Genetics
http://www.esp.org/foundations/genetics/classical/
Here is a web site where you can actually download those classic
genetics papers of Mendel, Sutton, Morgan, and others. A great resource for
teachers and students to learn and read about the history of genetics.

Human Genome Program Primer
http://web.ornl.gov/sci/techresources/Human_Genome/project/info.shtml
The Human Genome Primer is an excellent genetics resource to learn about
DNA, protein synthesis, genes, and genetic mapping. Lots of excellent graphics
to accompany the text. A valuable resource to facilitate learning about genetics
with high school students.
Learn.Genetics
http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/
The Natural History of Genes provides teachers with a hands-on genetics science
curriculum. This web site explains experimentation kits that bring disease genetics,
conservation genetics, human diversity, forensics, and DNA into the real world
for students. A fantastic web site for studying genetics! Great images!
The Internet Pathology
Laboratory
http://www-medlib.med.utah.edu/WebPath/webpath.html
This web site is an excellent lesson on genetic disorders. Case studies of
inherited metabolic disorders, chromosomal abnormalities, infections, and neoplasia
that may occur in the pediatric age group. Great graphics!
The Human Genome Project
http://www.nhgri.nih.gov/HGP/
The Human Genome Project is an international research program designed to
"construct detailed genetic and physical maps of the human genome, to determine
the complete nucleotide sequence of human DNA, to localize the estimated 50,000-100,000
genes within the human genome, and to perform similar analyses on the genomes
of several other organisms used extensively in research laboratories as model
systems." An excellent resource for teachers to show actual current biotechnology
research.
Genetics Education
Network
http://www.phys.ksu.edu:80/gene/
The Gene homepage says the network is "dedicated to rescuing teachers and
other students from terminal boredom by helping them do real science with modern
research organisms." There are links to experiments and an excellent photo gallery.
Students can also chat with scientists and teachers.
DNA From the Beginning
