Journals

 A list of journals related to genetics and genomics, highlighting those that enforce the use of approved nomenclature.

 


Education Resources

Sites that provide a basic guide to genetics and general science:

DNA from the Beginning - An excellent animated site with general introductions to DNA, genes and heredity.

Genetic Science Learning Center - Introduces basic genetics and aims to help people understand how genetics affects their lives and society.

Genetics: Gateway to the Future - Explains basic genetics and explores such diverse topics as technology, ethics, forensics, careers in genetics, and genetic diseases.  Also has an interactive game, quiz, and discussion forum. 

Glossaries of Genome/Human Genetics Terms - Lists links to glossaries of genomics and human genetics terms.

Human Genome Project Information - Lots of information on the Human Genome Project.  Includes its history, the science behind the project and the social issues that it creates.  You can also print off a free chromosome poster.
