| Site owner's description: Modernising genetics for today’s students
Why study genomics?
In a decade, we have leapt from sequencing the human genome over ten years at a cost of $3 billion to sequencing it in days for about $1,000. However, genetics in school has remained fairly static, losing touch with the modern study of genomics that looks beyond single gene inheritance to the wider genetic picture.
Genomics resources
Nowgen works with researchers to bring recent developments in genetics into school. Our free, multimedia resources will engage your students with the science of genomics and its impact on both human health and the wider society. The videos, discussion ideas, teacher guides and student activities can support designated post-16 biology courses including: A level Science in Society; Perspectives on Science (Edexcel Extended Project); and the Salters-Nuffield Advanced Biology (SNAB) A level. All the resources can also be used to enhance any post-16 biology course by encouraging students to explore and understand genomics and the impact developments in this field will have on society. The resources also offer valuable insights into the work of researchers and so can be used as real-world career materials. Contributing researchers include: Professor Steve Jones, University College London; Professor John Harris, University of Manchester; and Professor Dian Donnai, University of Manchester.
All resources are available at: www.nowgen.org.uk/education
