Hello, The best places to learn about basic biological topics are 1) current textbooks 2) online resources, such as wiki, that have biology-centric encyclopedia sections 3) public data repositories/tools (such as the UCSC Browser, NCBI, others) 4) current journals and other publications
Comparing all four is useful for topics that are still undergoing active research to clarify the underlying biological mechanisms. To get start, try a simple google search with your topics and see where that takes you. Example for a search with "regeneration of the axolotl" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regeneration_(biology) For future questions regarding the specific use of the UCSC Genome Browser, please use our public mailing list: http://genome.ucsc.edu/contacts.html Thank you, Jennifer --------------------------------- Jennifer Jackson UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group http://genome.ucsc.edu/ > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: [Cbseweb] Regeneration > Date: Sat, 13 Feb 2010 22:29:14 +0100 > From: jonathan de smedt<[email protected]> > > > > > Dear, > > > > > > After > receiving the instructions for a science project connected to the > subject Biology, Chemistry and/or Fysics, we have chosen to study the > regeneration of the axolotl. > > > > We > have found already some useful information, but as we have too few > sources, we would gently ask you to send us information or > backgrounds of the following parts of our project. > > > > > dedifferentiation > > the formation of > the blastema > > translocation > > transscription > > ECM (= > ExtraCellular Matrices) > > ecotropic viral > integrative factor 5 (EVI5) > > RA (= Retinoic > Acid) > > proliferating > > TGF-β1 ( > Transforming Growth Factor Bèta 1) > > or other useful > information > > > > > As > we are three Belgian students in the last year of secundary school, > we did the best we can to avoid any mistakes in this letter.
