Photosynthesis – Teach Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis

:: DESCRIPTION

Photosynthesis is a tutorial program that presents C3 photosynthesis at a level appropriate for first level undergraduates and more advanced high school students. We developed it in response to our own need to present “all” of photosynthesis in less than 6 hours (including lab experiences and discussions) and the sympathetic but not very helpful responses to newsgroup postings asking for ideas.

The full length software is intended for individual or group use by students and uses the same images and is available from us at $25+$1/student. To get more information e-mail Matej Lexa at m-lexa@uiuc.edu

Molecular Basis of Medicine – Introduction to Molecular Biology

Molecular Basis of Medicine

:: DESCRIPTION

Molecular Basis of Medicine is primarily aimed at medical students without ‘A’-level Biology, but is also suitable for students in Biochemistry and related subjects. It may also be suitable as an introduction to gene expression for any students. The content consists of an introduction to cell structure (with diagrams and electron micrographs); an introduction to proteins, lipids and nucleic acids; DNA replication, transcription and translation (illustrated with animations of these processes).

Linear Pathway Simulator – Control Parameters of the Pathway & Study the Response

Linear Pathway Simulator

:: DESCRIPTION

Linear Pathway Simulator is a simple interactive linear pathway simulation. Sliders allow a user to control all the parameters of the pathway and can study the response of the pathway time course of steady state.at steady state the flux and concentration control coefficients are also computed.

DESIRE 1.1 – Target your Genetic Gains

DESIRE 1.1

:: DESCRIPTION

DESIRE is designed to help you explore the possible outcomes of a breeding program, in terms of predicted genetic gains for a number of traits. When we set desired gains, this restricts the possible range of genetic change for other traits. DESIRE is a dynamic tool to help you surf the n-dimensional (n-trait) space of possible outcomes from a simple breeding program.

DNA2ABC 1.0.1 – Turn DNA Sequences into Musical Sequences

DNA2ABC 1.0.1

:: DESCRIPTION

dna2abc turns DNA sequences into musical sequences. The key feature is the rule editor; a rule is a regular expression paired with a Tcl script. dna2abc scans a DNA sequence, testing each regular expression: if it matches, the Tcl script is run.

Biogenesis 0.8 – Simulate Evolution of Unicellular Organisms

Biogenesis 0.8

:: DESCRIPTION

Biogenesis simulates in a visual fashion the processes involved in the evolution of unicellular organisms at nature. It tries to be a didactic approximation to the ideas of mutation or evolution and can be enjoyed also as an entertainment. It’s intended to serve as a support to show students some basic biological facts.
