Exploring Genes and Genetic Disorders
On this site you can download a workbook that compliments the Genome poster (that you can request for free). Also included in this great site are tutorials on bioinformatics, a chromosome viewer and information about genetic disorders.
Plant Evolution Timeline
A resource created by the University of Cambridge. You can view a timeline of plant evolution filled with information. Definitely check out the help section before diving into the resource. Note: the resource was created and tested for Firefox and has problems working in Internet Explorer.
National Digestive Diseases Clearinghouse
From NIH, this site provides access to a wealth of information on digestive diseases. I love that they provide easy-to-read publications as well as statistics, information about clinical trials and information in Spanish.
