Download the Chick embryo data file

Download the ANOVA Excel template file. If your browser does not automatically download the file, after the document appears select "Save As" or Save File As" from the File menu. Note that after it is saved to your disk you may need to open the document from within Excel rather than by double-clicking it.

Reconstruct website where you can read about the software, its author, and download the program.

Note that there is a useful FAQ on this site as well. Check to see if your question is answered there (or in the manual) first.

Links retained from previous years:

2006 Nobel Prize for RNA Interference Discovery in C. elegans

2002 Nobel Prize for C. elegans Developmental Biology

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

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 (although this is for the 8th edition).

An older version of supplements to Gilbert's textbook called Zygote. 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

The 1995 Nobel Prize for studies in Drosophila developmental biology

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
