Fantastic Animations of Cellular Processes

The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research has produced real time animations of cellular and molecular processes. These include titles such as Recombinant DNA, DNA Chromosome Wrapping, Malaria, and The Science of Cancer. One animation that is particularly impressive is of DNA replication shown from several angles. You will require QuickTime on your computer in order to view the animations, it is available for free download here.

Another particularly impressive cell biology animation comes from the President and Fellows of Harvard College and is available at http://aimediaserver.com/studiodaily/harvard/harvard.swf. This animation requires Flash Player, available for free here.
