Databases and other Resources:
  • Dynamic Development A Modular Resource to Facilitate Learning in Developmental Biology. These modules provide enrichment for students on topics in developmental biology by supplementing lecture material and textbook reading assignments.
  • Zygote a companion website to the book: "Developmental Biology" 5th edition by Scott F. Gilbert. An outstanding resource in Developmental Biology. Author writes: the material here is loosely based on the theme: "this is really interesting; it's too bad I can't put it into the textbook." 
  • UNSW Embryology Resource for Revision  of concepts in embryological development.
  • Databases from the Anatomy Section, Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Edinburgh
  • Genes & Morphogenesis theoretical consideration of morphogenesis in Biology, Artificial Life and Mathematical models of Development. 
  • Developmental Mechanisms Problem Set with Tutorial and answers, from The Biology Project, University of Arizona


Developmental Resources  by organism:
  • humans:
    • DHMHD, Dysmorphic Human-Mouse Homology Database  consists of three separate databases of human and mouse malformation syndromes together with a database of mouse/human syntenic regions. The mouse and human malformation databases are linked together through the chromosome synteny database. The purpose of the system is to allow retrieval of syndromes according to detailed phenotypic descriptions and to be able to carry out homology searches for the purpose of gene mapping.
    • Genitourinary Development. A tutorial correlating embryology with congenital anomalies, by  D. Hatch, Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine 
    • Basic Embryology Review Program, UPenn
    • First 9 Months an introduction to the basics of prenatal human development. Excellent presentation with Flash animation and a lot of pictures.
  • vertebrates (including humans): see also sections: Mammals, Rodents, Birds & Reptiles, Amphibians, Fishes
    • Gene expression in tooth. A comprehensive site,  offers information about expression of different genes in the developing tooth. 
    • Amphibian Embryology Tutorial This tutorial is part of an ongoing project designed to implement multimedia and computer-based learning materials in the university undergraduate classroom.
    • Development and Neurobiology. A collection of review articles from the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
  • invertebrates: see sections: Drosophila, C. elegans, Invertebrates.


 
 
Atlases, Images, and Pictures:
  • Visible Embryo, a comprehensive resource of information on human development from conception to birth, designed for both medical student and interested lay people. The Visible Embryo offers a detailed pictorial account of normal and abnormal development.
  • Multi-Dimensional Human Embryo is a collaboration funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development to produce and make available over the internet a three-dimensional image reference of the Human Embryo based on magnetic resonance imaging.
  • IFTS Atlas of Developmental Abnormalities in Common Laboratory Mammals The purpose of this atlas is to provide students and researchers of birth defects in academia, industry, and government with a set of images of both rare and common observations in fetuses and neonates from common laboratory mammals. International Federation of Teratology Societies
  • Embryo Images: Normal and Abnormal Mammalian Development is a tutorial that uses scanning electron micrographs (SEMs) as the primary resource to teach mammalian embryology.
  • WebPath, The Internet Pathology Laboratory for Medical Education. This site includes over 1900 images along with text, tutorials, laboratory exercises, and examination items for self-assessment that demonstrate gross and microscopic pathologic findings associated with human disease conditions.
  • Developmental Biology Cinema The aim of this project is to get video sequences of developing embryos (organisms), and experimental techniques, from the developmental biologist's lab to the eyeballs of interested individuals in a user-friendly and inexpensive form.
  • Visual Models of Morphogenesis: A Guided Tour
  • Odyssey of Life animations of developing vertebrate embryos (human, pig, chicken, fish), from PBS NOVA online.
