ISU ADVANCE

This web site contains the contents of an important program initiated by a grant to ISU from the National Science Foundation to advance women faculty in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Dr. Janzen participates actively in these efforts both on and off campus.

EvoNet: A worldwide network for evolutionary biology

EvoNet contains the web and email addresses of many of the people, labs, and departments working in evolutionary biology and related fields. In addition, it contains pointers to many other useful resources in evolutionary biology, such as software, journals, societies, and other web sites.

Centre for the Study of Evolution

This site strives to become THE web link providing a primary source of general knowledge and information about evolutionary biology. Great idea!

GenBank is the NIH genetic sequence database, a source where you can look up a particular sequence of DNA from all publicly available DNA sequences. The NCBI taxonomy homepage contains links to a taxonomy browser to help find the sequences you need.

TreeBASE

A database of phylogenetic knowledge (unfortunately, currently only green plants).

PhyCom

News (articles, programs, updates, etc.) for the phylogenetic community, as well as a forum for questions and discussion, links to labs, programs, etc., and eventually downloads of scripts and how-tos (and more).

Quantitative Genetics Resources

An electronic supplement to a two-volume text on quantitative genetics by Lynch and Walsh. Contains an index of web pages concerning quantitative genetics.

Evolutionary Genetics References

An EndNote database of >12,000 references.
