Anatomyka vs Virtual Genetics Lab II

Anatomyka is a multi-platform 3D human anatomy app for students, universities, professionals, and anatomy enthusiasts. Its library lists 14 anatomical systems, 550 pages, and more than 13,000 organs, structures, and regions. Learning tools include simplified mode, layered systems, related-organ information, region isolation, labels, and a 3D navigator. ACADEMIC PRO adds a high-resolution model and 4K textures. Users can save interactive screens as ePosters, with sharing and publishing described for eligible licenses. The app links to Memorix Anatomy content, and listed plans include one month of the Memorix Anatomy & Histology app. It runs on Windows, Mac OS, iOS, Android, and Huawei devices; a website-purchased license can be used simultaneously on one desktop and one mobile device. The one-year personal plan costs €47.80 a year; the one-year education PRO EDU plan costs €119 a year. A five-year personal plan is listed at €985 as a one-time purchase. Team pricing is available by quote. The service is not intended for patient data or protected health information.

Virtual Genetics Lab II (VGLII) is a free simulation for students exploring how traits are inherited. Students cross hypothetical creatures and examine offspring, using problems that cover one to three genes. Traits can be autosomal or sex-linked, with simple dominance, co-dominance, or incomplete dominance; instructors can restrict which models are available. Model Builder lets students enter and save genetic models, and instructors can compare responses with correct answers for grading. Version 3 includes chi-squared calculations in the Summary Chart, epistasis and complementation models, and Super Crosses of up to 2,000 offspring. Desktop downloads are listed for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux/UNIX, and the download page says VGLII requires Java 7 or higher. The maker also describes jsVGL, a browser-based version that does not use Java and can load and save work. The maker says VGLII will no longer be supported, while support will continue for jsVGL. Some macOS versions may show an error about loading the Java Runtime Environment; a workaround uses the app's VGLII.jar file.
