Overview

Welcome to Cellupedia! You have reached a unique point on the Internet where a reference becomes a guide and a guide becomes a game. Whether you are working hard to write a paper or leisurely seeking more knowledge, this complete and interactive repository of cellular information is for you. Feel free to browse through the site or take the tutorial-style tour.

Through the tour, Cellupedia will bring you a comprehensive cell biology curriculum at your own pace. For your convenience, the tour contains three main sections:

	Basics Come to this section to build a strong foundation in cell biology. You will learn not only the fundamentals for studying cell biology, but also the chemical origins of the first cells.
	Cell Anatomy Come to this section to have a detailed look at the many miniscule membranes, organelles, and genetic materials that allow cells to live.
	Cellular Processes Come to this section to discover what a cell must do to keep itself and its species alive.

When you need a break and think you know enough about cell processes and components, challenge your friends to a tough match in the Cell Simulation. In this fast-paced, real-time environment, you must choose the right path of evolution for your cells to dominate the map.

Finally, Other Info contains information about us, the creators of Cellupedia, and lets you leave comments, questions, and news events on a public message board.
