    Links retained from previous years:

    2002 Nobel Prize for C. elegans Developmental Biology

    Bill Wasserman's Developmental Biology Page - A site with movies and pictures of development from oogenesis through eye and heart development. Includes different organisms (birds, mammals, sea urchins, etc).

    Chickscope 1.5 - This site has an overview of the development of chicks. Each 'egg' takes you to real photos from that stage of development. LR

    Developmental Biology Online - includes basic embryology, such as whole mounts and serial cross sections of frog and chick embryos

    LeClair Developmental Biology Website - a wealth of information

    Society for Developmental Biology - Contains information on research done by Society members, a Virtual Library dedicated to developmental biology, forums to discuss relevant topics and news on society events.

    Gilbert's Developmental Biology - Home page for our textbook

    Online access to the journal Developmental Biology

    BMC Developmental Biology - an open-access online journal - all articles freely available online.

    Online access to the journal Development is free for year 2000 and before.

    Teratology Society Home Page - A website with additional information on current research of abnormal development and birth defects. This site has a special emphasis in prevention and is geared towards professionals, students and the general public. RD

    The Virtual Embryo - another textbook/class-based site


    Stem Cells and Cloning

    Conceiving a Clone - This site provides a timeline, list of techniques, and debates on cloning as well as allows you to virtually create a clone.

    Genetic Mosaics - This site explains how mice can be made mosaic. It also goes into how mosaicism can occur in humans.

    The Roslin Institute - famous for cloning the sheep "Dolly."

    Stem Cell Basics - NIH site with information on stem cells. The site also includes a description of stem cell applications, current research, and a summary of basics.

    Stem Cells - the Scientific and Ethical Issues - This site serves to explain the generic basis of stem cells and the research that is currently underway. It then raises some ethical and scientific issues that concern this topic.


    Drosophila links

    A Turning Point in the History of Developmental Genetics - the story of Nuesslein-Volhard and Wieschaus' discovery of early pattern formation genes in the Drosophila embryo.

    FlyNome - stories explaining the origin of some Drosophila gene names, many odd, informative or amusing.

    Homophila (rhymes with Drosophila) - a serious database (although you couldn't tell by the home page graphics) matching Human disease genes to Drosophila homologs.


    Other Organism-specific Links

    Amphibian Embryology Tutorial - This site provides detailed information, pictures, and videos on amphibian fertilization, cleavage, gastrulation, and neurulation.

    Sea Urchin Fertilization Labs
