Neanderthal Sequenced!
/images/feature/paabo.jpgThe complete genome of this extinct hominid shows few functional differences from modern humans – and evidence of interbreeding with our Eurasian ancestors. See our interview with team leader Svante Pääbo and news of CSHL’s role in the project.
The DNA Learning Center family of websites includes 2- and 3-D animations, scientist interviews (including 12 Nobel laureates!), historical images, and teaching aids.

Image Archive on the
American Eugenics Movement
The Eugenics Archive includes 2,400 photographs, pedigrees, letters, brochures, manuscripts, and articles from archives in the US and UK. Essays by science historians put the vast image database into context.
DNA from the Beginning
Discover the concepts and experiments that define the fields of genetics and molecular biology. This animated primer features the work of over 100 scientists and researchers. Includes scientist video interviews, biographies, photo galleries, and links.
Your Genes, Your Health
Animations present the cause, inheritance, and treatment of 15 common genetic disorders. Interviews with doctors, researchers, healthcare providers, and individuals affected by a disorder offer personal perspectives. Partner site to DNA from the Beginning.
DNA Interactive and myDNAi
DNAi looks back on the discovery of the DNA structure with a vast collection of interviews and interactive 2- and 3-D animations. myDNAi provides teacher-oriented resources including guides, activities, lesson plans, and the online Lesson Builder.
Inside Cancer and Teacher Center
Explore cancer biology, cancer pathways, and the molecular basis of diagnosis & treatment. Use Teacher Center to inform students on how molecular and cellular genetics are integrated into cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
Weed to Wonder
The maize genome sequence is just the most recent of experiments with corn stretching back 10,000 years. Weed to Wonder tells the story how human ingenuity transformed a common Mexican weed (Teosinte) into a modern food and fuel wonder (corn).
Genes to Cognition (G2C) Online
G2C Online is modeled on principles of neural networking, which examines current research to discover the molecular and cellular basis of human thinking. Use network maps to explore our library of 750+ items, including an interactive 3-D brain.
Biology Animations
We collected our “greatest hits” for viewing and download. Enjoy!
