Bi 1 Links

• Bi1x - The Great Ideas of Biology
  Freshman biology laboratory--an alternative to Bi1; offered starting in 2009.
• Understanding the Immune System: How It Works
  This tutorial explains the molecules, cells and tissues of the immune system. Since the course this year will draw many examples from the study of viruses and the immune system, this article is a useful place to learn some of the background.
• HIV and AIDS information
  This website includes an excellent summary of HIV and links to recent discoveries in HIV/AIDS research.
• Molecules of HIV
  This website will help you understand the parts list of HIV.
• Interactive Multimedia Textbook of HIV/AIDS
  Links to many articles about scientific and clinical aspects of HIV/AIDS.
• The HIV sequence set to music
  An album based on the nucleotide sequence of HIV written by Alexandra Lee Pajak, a graduate student at the University of Georgia. Alexandra transcribed the nucleotides and amino acids of HIV into musical pitches, and the resulting sounds are surprisingly musical. The album has been featured in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. Proceeds from the album benefit the Emory Vaccine Center for AIDS research.
• HIV life cycle and cell entry animation
  Several animations showing each step of the HIV life cycle. Produced by Roche.
• MicrobiologyBytes: Virology: Retroviruses
  A page containing an overview of retroviruses and a video of the HIV life cycle, with some inaccuracies.
• Life Cycle of HIV Infection
  John Hopkins AIDS Service page on HIV life cycle, with Flash animation.
• Molecular Biology of an HIV infection: an interactive animation
  Another Flash animation showing HIV lifecycle.
• HIV Lifecycle
  Animation of HIV lifecycle and the mode of action of fusion inhibitors, reverse transcriptase inhibitors and protease inhibitors.
• The Inner Life of the Cell
  This movie focuses upon leukocyte migration through blood vessel walls into inflamed tissues, which we will discuss in Lecture 16. It is highly recommended that you watch the movie in its entirety (~7 minutes), because it covers many of the processes we will discuss in class.
• Leukocyte Extravasation
  (interactive animation)
• Neutrophil Hunting
  A neutrophil hunting for a pathogen to eat.
• DNA animations
  (replication is especially cool)
