Most Excellent Collection of Biological Animations

The Most Excellent Collection of Animations/Videos on all aspects of Biology.
Biology Animations , DNA, Genes, PhotoSynthesis, Chemical Reactions the whole shebang!!.

I Wish that I had access to this Treasure House of stuff. Most probably I'd have gone into Microbiology or something similar and loved it too. Hope the kids of today can dig into this.
Even I might have a go into BioTech sometime :-) Who Knows!!

Liked the Match the Word Pairs game.

Biology Comes Alive :-)

Want to see Animations, Movies make Biology come alive? This is a good place to find a huge collection of such links http://science.nhmccd.edu/biol/bio1int.htm

3Dvideo from The Human Genome Project (started by James Watson among others)http://www.genome.gov/Pages/EducationKit/download.html#3dvid This one video says more than a 1000 pages. If I'd seen this video in college I'd have gone for MicroBiology. No doubt!! Well there's always BioTech.. :-)

I searched for 'animation genes' and found this awesome site containing links to animations, videos and interactive tutorials on all things biological.
I was inspired by the book 'DNA the secret of life' by James Watson.
I felt the book was too wordy and a few animations or videos would have made things litterally come alive.
