• The Teaching Company sells a 24-lecture intro to genetics course, Understanding Genetics: DNA, Genes, and Their Real World Applications, taught by Dr. David Sadava of The Claremont McKenna, Pitzer, and Scripps Colleges. After watching a preview, I can say that it’s not much more interesting than the lectures I sat through in college but for people who learn better by listening and watching, rather than reading, it may be valuable. (HT: GENEALOGY-DNA)
• Please welcome the latest members of The DNA Network. We now number 46!

  *Next Generation Sequencing from CLC bio
  *Mailund on the Internet
  *Buzzyeah
  *FinchTalk
  *Genetic Future
  *PredictER

• Gotta have this squishy, squashy, lumpy light-up DNA ball from HearthSong! (HT: Kristina)
• An oldie but funny on genetic genealogy from one of my favorite writers at the New York Times - Michelle Slatalla.

  Marie Antoinette, Is That You?

• Mary Beth Faller of The Arizona Republic asks: Is a gene test right for you? It’s got a negative slant to it (of course) but the right sidebar has some good basic information on DNA testing.
