Basic Geneticx - Internet Resourses 00



Links to internet resources for basic genetics, but also some sites of breeding or forest breeding interest

For basic genetics (but not applications to forest trees), there exist many valuable and pedagogical information sources on the web and actually there may be little reason to study something else. Links vanish or get outdated else, even if I try to check them sometimes!

A huge collection of genetics sites can be found at:



An interesting site focusing on anthropology and human evolution is

however this site offers also excellent illustrations of e.g. Mendelian genetics



A general compilation focusing on forest genetics is at

A web resource for linkage at

A list with links to different genetic calculation programs is found at



Many links to historically interesting papers or teaching sites (electronically scholarly publishing) can be found at



You can try e.g. the fly lab (a cost but a one day free trial is possible) at a larger virtual courseware



Or you may prefer to play with Dragons at different genetics level



Some Links to other genetic sites are available at



MendelWeb



is an educational resource for teachers and students interested in the origins of classical genetics, introductory data analysis, elementary plant science, and the history and literature of science. It is constructed around Gregor Mendel's 1865 paper 'Experiments in Plant Hybridization'.

The "Biology Project" at offers a tutorial in basic Mendelian genetics at



of particular interest is

Monohybrid cross.



Dihybrid cross



There are also relevant information on other sites



Morgan: A Genetics tutorial at



A set of examples for training genetic analysis, with solutions.



Remark: you can find other things on this site, e.g. 4 can be replaced by another number, if "5" it is problems connected to sex-linkage.

A site describing cat color genetics from a mainly Mendelian perspective at



while dog lovers can get information about a dog genome project at



For the art of quantitative genetics a very good and large entry (Bruce Walsh) is found at



Access Excellence - Biological resource

(kom inte in här men i underbibl)

Genetic pictures can be found at



in particular



Juius van der Werf homepage has links to relevant breeding courses and resources (animal breeding)



Some instructive programs for teaching breeding and quantitative genetics is available from:



Connected to diversity is an interesting site tree connected to tree of life project



Information about human genome project:



Nowadays genomics sites become to be more common, here is Loblolly pine genomics homepage:



Alfred Szmidt has a webbery "Darwin" at



which is a presentation of a genetics group rather strong in forest genetics

-give some introduction in genetic evaluation programs by Luis A. Apiolaza

Links to "the Genetic world" and mainly human genetics and sequencing can be found at



There are plenty of biotech links, this is an informative one about transgenic crops

An excellent online resource for statistics is found at.



Text book sites:

A standard book on general genetics is:

Hartl and Jones (1998) Genetics: Principles and Analysis, Fourth Edition

A web-site is connected to that book is



Very extensive set of notes from a course Wyman Nyquist taught (from 1972-1998) on Statistical Genetics, with a focus on Animal and Plant Breeding are freely available on line (as pdf files) (made available by Bruce Walsh 2003) at:



Course sites

An informative course site in genetics is



of particular interest are:

quantitative genetics



population genetics, natural selection and evolution



An interesting course site with written lectures and simulators on population genetics is



A very good site for population genetics simulations for teaching is

, e.g.



Java applets can't read, write, delete or execute anything on local computers.

To shot a picture of the simulation it is possible to use a "screen capture" software. Some of those programs can be downloaded for free from the site:

Nice basic genetics instructions at University of Utah. Genetic Science Learning Centre (focused to humans)



this web is rather "mathematical". A wider range of options (Kent Holsinger) is found at



Course B31 "From genes to organisms" by by Prof. Steve Jones with the assistance of Angela Gouge



Detailed lecture texts. Seems to be human related. Most interesting pages are key-word protected, better remove 2004.

A detailed molecular mainly from animal gene mapping (including MAS and QTL)

genome.iastate.edu/ edu/doe/fig11.html

Tim White course PCB5065: Advanced Genetics



contains course texts of relevance for basic forest genetics (Population Genetics and Quantitative Genetics).

There are many genetic and a few forest genetic glossaries. On Dag Lindgren's website is two English and a Swedish glossary edited by Dag Lindgren with some hints to other sites:



Swedish sites:

Ett intressant läromedel om "genvägar" (in Swedish) finns på



det kan vara allmänbildande och underlätta förståelsen även om det är enkelt.

En (in Swedish och inte särskilt effektiv) inkörsport till svenska genetik-platser är



Jag kommenterar att trots nätets möjligheter väntade jag mig faktiskt att hitta mer som var användbart i undervisning och jag väntade mig att materialet på webben skulle förbättras snabbare.
