Gateway
to the Human Genome
Tools
for Students and Teachers to Explore the Human Genome
To
help high school Biology teachers and students explore
the data from the Human Genome Project, we've constructed
this Gateway to take you directly to the data produced
by the project.
We've
even constructed a "Scavenger Hunt," a series
of problems suitable for high school students, to
help students learn how to explore the genome, locate
specific genes, and find DNA sequences.
We've
designed these materials to complement Chapter 14
("The Human Genome") of our new HS Biology
textbook — but anyone is welcome to use what
we've put together. Good Luck!

Human
Genome Scavenger Hunt
The web-based tools used to search the Human Genome database
are now so advanced they can be easily used by students. Ken Miller
has written a series of scavenger hunt targets that your students
will enjoy finding.
A
Guide to Searching the Human Genome
To go along wih the Scavenger Hunt, I've written an easy to understand
guide to how to use the genome searching tools. You're welcome
to copy, distribute, and use it in any way you like.

Ten Facts About the Human Genome
Ten facts, in David Letterman style, about the human genome that
we'll bet you didn't know!
Can
you find the Gene?
A 2-page Worksheet Problem that challenges you
to find an actual gene in a 400 base DNA sequence. Click HERE
for the Solution. (Both are PDF files)
A
Circular Genetic Code Table
A New Way to Help Students Visualize the Genetic
Code: Most books represent the Genetic Code in a traditional,
rectangular format. The Dragonfly
Book uses a Circular Code Table
that your students will find easier to use and easier to understand
