Nature Education, a new division of Nature Publishing Group, has launched Scitable, a free online educational resource for undergraduate biology instructors and students.
Scitable, which currently covers the field of genetics, is built on a library of overviews of key science concepts compiled by Nature Publishing Group's editorial staff. Scitable's evidence-based approach explains science through the lens of the scientific method, with links to milestone research papers.
Topics of investigation include:
⢠Chromosomes and cytogenetics
⢠Evolutionary genetics
⢠Gene expression and regulation
⢠Gene inheritance and transmission
⢠Genes and disease
⢠Genetics and society
⢠Genomics
⢠Nucleic acid structure and function
⢠Population and quantitative geneticsScitable is designed to help teachers engage students in a deeper appreciation of science by combining the site's content libraries with the kinds of social learning tools that students enjoy.
Visit Scitable to register, browse the content libraries, and create a classroom research space for your students.
