"Introduction to Genetics & Evolution" free Coursera course offered by Duke University
This app was created to help students in Genetics and Evolution courses solve problems and understand course material. The focal courses on which the app is based are offered in Coursera and at Duke University, but the material is covered in introductory genetics and evolution courses worldwide.
Features
Pedigree Analyzer
Generates pedigrees and allows users to select inheritance pattern(s) consistent with each pedigree. For each inheritance pattern, the user can select inferable genotypes for each individual in the pedigree
Inheritance patterns included:- Autosomal Recessive
- Autosomal Dominant
- X-Linked Recessive
- X-Linked Dominant
- Mitochondrial
- Y-Linked
- No Dominance
Cross Simulator
Simulate crosses between male and female diploid organisms and examine expected gentoype and phenotype ratios of offspring produced
Allele Freak
Track and graph the fate of alleles over multiple generations using simulations based on relative fitness, genetic drift etc
Self Test Quiz
Genetics vocabulary-- multiple-choice quiz yourself on some common basic genetic terms
Problem Central
Each mini app within Problem Central consists of two tabs:- Problem Solver tab: Genetics calculator to solve problems on the topic based on user input
- Test Yourself tab: Automatically generates problems to test yourself on the topic
Accepts genotype counts for three genes from a "test cross", and uses the counts to infer the gametic phase, the recombination rate between the three genes, and the gene order.
With any three of the following values, calculates the fourth: annual growth rate (r), initial population (N0), final population (NT), time in years (T)
Accepts genotype counts for a single gene and outputs observed genotype frequencies, expected genotype frequencies, and the coefficient of inbreeding (F)
with any three of the following values, calculates the fourth: starting phenotype, selected phenotype, response phenotype, broad-sense heritability
