The "Human Genetic Variation & Disease Date Resource Pack provides data from the MRC Human Genetics Unit and provides information on: Genetic variation/ DNA mutations Genetic basis of disease risk Human population cohort studies and methods Genes and Proteins in Health and Disease Human Genomics Expression of genotype and protein production The resource pack can be downloaded as a pdf below. If you use this pack, we would be grateful if teachers and students could provide feedback via these online surveys Student feedback on resource pack: http://www.surveymonkey.com/r/StudentFeedbackRealDataResource Teacher feedback on resource pack: http://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TeacherFeedbackRealDataResource Resources from our funders Further biomedical research resources are also available from our major research funders: Medical Research Council Changing Lives booklet Cancer Research UK Science activities for children at home If you have any queries about our research, please join us for a discussion at one of our events or email our Communications Manager: Communications@igc.ed.ac.uk This article was published on 2024-06-21
