The links below provide additional information about gene sequencing and its implications, with a particular focus on the scientific discoveries which have moved this effort forward. While most are suited for teachers, AP biology and high school students, some of the material may be adaptable for younger students. Many of these resources will be of particular interest to biology and other science teachers.
Science also offers a complete resource for scientists and others interested in the human genome.
Blueprint of the Body - This CNN special on the complete mapping of the human genome offers lots of resources, images, and interviews discussing the implications for science, business, ethics, and other fields. There's a lot here, and it may be overwhelming if used as a starting point. These tools may be of particular use to AP students working on biology projects, or for teachers interested in developing simulations for use with their classes. Genomics Education is a very thorough, eight-part introduction to genetic mapping produced by Celera Corporation. This Shockwave-enhanced site includes animations, narration and sound effects.
