| International Organization of Biological Field Stations |
created an International Committee to explore the potential of creating an International Organization of Biological Field Stations (IOBFS). OBFS recognized that field stations on Earth share many of the same goals, objectives, and problems |
| Center for Disease and Control Prevention - Public Health Genomics |
The Office of Public Health Genomics (OPHG) promotes the integration of genomics into public health research, policy, and practice to prevent disease and improve the health of all people. |
| Mendel Museum |
The exhibition Gregor Mendel is based on The Genius of Genetics, a celebration of Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) through science and art. It aims to unravel the little trick and long story of Mendel's discovery. |
| Ehrhardt laboratory |
the Ehrhardt laboratory at the Carnegie Institution for Science. We investigate plant cell development and morphogenesis, utilizing live cell imaging techniques to visualize the organization and dynamic behaviors of molecules and organelles. |
| Society for in vitro biology |
The Society for In Vitro Biology (SIVB) was founded in 1946 as the Tissue Culture Association to foster exchange of knowledge of in vitro biology of cells, tissues and organs from both plant and animals (including humans). The focus is on biological research, development, and applications of significance to science and society. |
| Database of Complete Genome Homologous Genes Families |
HOGENOM is a database of homologous genes from fully sequenced organisms (bacteria, archeaea and eukarya) , structured under ACNUC sequence database management system. It allows to select sets of homologous genes among species, and to visualize multiple alignments and phylogenetic trees. It is as well possible to search for orthologous genes in a wide range of taxons. Thus HOGENOM is particularly useful for comparative sequence analysis, phylogeny and molecular evolution studies. More generaly, HOGENOM gives an overall view of what is known about a peculiar gene family. Note that HOGENOM is splitted into two databases: HOGENOM contains the protein sequences while HOGENOMDNA contains the nucleotide sequences. Protein sequences of HOGENOM have been generated by translating the CDS of HOGENOMDNA and using associated cross-references to generate the annotations. |
| Human Oral Genomic and Metagenomic Resource | |
| Biodic |
It offers today the widest series of electron micrographs available on the web in the field of biology: over 1600 images are currently available in high resolution. |
| Bibliography of Genetic Variation in Natural Populations |
This bibliography, compiled by professor Fred Allendorf and maintained by the University of Montana, is a collection of more than 80.000 references on genetic variation in natural populations of animals, plants, and microbes, with particular emphasis on salmonid fish. Other topics such as the application of genetic principles to conservation, are also included. The interface offers a quick text search across all fields, or an advanced search for specifying authors, keywords, periodical, publication year, and title, and permits the usage of Boolean operators. |
| CalPhotos |
CalPhotos has been on the web since 1995 and was one of the first online image databases specializing in natural history subjects. The database currently contains 404,911 digital images of plants, animals, and other natural history subjects, along with descriptive information including scientific and common names, location and dates of photos, and other information provided by the person or organization that contributed the photos. Around 2,000 new photos are added each month by a variety of organizations and individuals that have registered with CalPhotos. |
| Genome Institute at Washington University |
The Genome Institute (TGI) is a world leader in the fast-paced, constantly changing field of genomics. A truly unique institution, we are pushing the limits of academic research by creating, testing, and implementing new approaches to the study of biology with the goal of understanding human health and disease, as well as evolution and the biology of other organisms. |
| American Society of Mammalogists |
The American Society of Mammalogists (ASM) was established in 1919 for the purpose of promoting interest in the study of mammals. |
| Ensembl Genome browser |
The Ensembl project produces genome databases for vertebrates and other eukaryotic species, and makes this information freely available online. |
| Radar entomology web site |
Radar entomology is the technique and science of using radar to study insect movement. It has proved valuable in the study of insect migration, and has been used especially in research on insect pests that are migratory (of which there are many). Radar has also been used to study non-migratory (i.e. foraging) movements. |
| Plants in Motion |
The site is intended to serve as a resource for nonprofit educational use. Time-lapse photography allows to view the movements of plants and clearly demonstrates that plants are living organisms capable of some extraordinary things. |
