National
Mathematics Awareness Month 2002
Want to know what is going on nationally? Visit the
official webpage of
National Mathematics Awareness Month 2002. There are some
interesting essays that talk about the background
and applications of the genome.
Departments in the University of Arizona
The Biology
Project web site provides information about many aspects of biology, including genetics and the genome. The Biology
Learning Center is especially a helpful resource for U of A students and area K-12 students
who wants to know more the study of biology. There is a very simple
introduction
to human genetics and also some advanced information such
as the .Internet
Directory for Sequence Analysis[broken link, 2004/11/29].
Mapping Database
The Genome Database is
an international collaboration in support of the Human
Genome Project. It provides chromosome reports, Ideogram-based
chromosome searching, Maps, Human Genome Project resources
and Meetings, etc. Genomic
Segment Query is another catalog that provides genomic segment
information. OMIM
Online Mendelian Inderitance in Man is a database of human
genes and genetic disorders, which contains textual
information, pictures, and reference information.
Genome Analysis
Jena Genome Project
is based at Germany's Institute of Molecular Biotechnology.
Their purpose is to further the knowledge of genomes, particularly
the human genome, through large scale sequencing and genetic
analysis. Mathematics
of Genome Analysis provides a brief description of several
ways in which mathematics and statistics are being used in
genome analysis and sequencing. The related essay such as
A
statistical analysis of cancer genome variation, Discrete
Mathematics as a Tool for Molecular Biology, etc. are
also available on the Internet. If you want to know more about
current topics in genome, you can visit Current
Topics in Genome Analysis. Some of the older versions of the same
page are 2000,
1999[broken link, 2004/12/03], etc.
DNA Identification
The page Forensic Mathematics
contains information about DNA identification.
