Activities and Tutorials
The following sites provide you with tutorials, information-gathering opportunities, and/or interactive exercises focusing on the concepts covered in each chapter.
You can easily access specific information about PKU through the
Human
Gene Map Site.
Online Mendelian Inheritance
in Man is a searchable database of information on genetic diseases.
Try searching for information about glucose-6 phosphate dehydrogenase
deficiency, Tay-Sachs disease, and/or diabetes mellitus.
The National Center for Biotechnology Information site provides you with the tools needed for "data mining" on the web. At this site, you can compare gene and protein sequences using BLAST, explore the outline of the complete human genome sequence using GeneMap'99, compare DNA from human and mouse sources using Human-Mouse Homology Maps, and obtain human, rat, and mouse gene sequence information using LocusLink. Other resources are also available at this site, so don't be afraid to explore!
