Link	Description	Links to Other Strands
Ensembl http://www.ensembl.org	Human Genome Software Discovered genes are shared without restrictions Try "diabetes" for example to locate the genes related to it.	Strand 1: Reliability and integrity, Intellectual property, Authenticity Strand 2: Health Strand 3: Software, Networks, Internet, Multimedia/digital media, Databases, modeling and simulations
Medical research Links from the National Institutes of Health http://www.nih.gov/science/index.html	This site provides Medical research and computational Biology links.	Strand 2: Health Strand 3: Software, Networks, Internet, Multimedia/digital media, Databases, modeling and simulations
The National Center for Biotechnology Information http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov	This site provides a wide range of computing resources including rich genome databases and 3D structures of Proteins, DNA, and RNA. For a quick idea about it, type DNA in the search box and choose the 3D Domains Database.

Keeping Up With The Human Genome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FNohF-eaWs A presentation explaing how research on the human genome is done using computer software. In this case ensembl is the program used. Visit www.ensembl.org to access the discovered genes. For exmple, look for diabetes in humans and you will be taken the chromosomes where related genes are present.
