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 genetics
Scitable 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.
