This is one of the only online resources which gives an overview of biotechnology, including its uses, history, and its relationship with the new genetic age. Genetics Holds Out Hope For Obesity http://ci.mond.org/9515/951501.html A short article from Chemistry and Industry Magazine that discusses the discovery and patenting of the obestity gene at Rockefeller University in New York. The experiment results were from mice. National Center for Biotechnology Information http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ NCBI is a part of the National Institutes of Health. This page is connected to NCBI's reseach, databases and other resources. The information is very technical and interesting, but it lacks any discussion of ethical issues. http://biotech.nature.com/about/ This will hook you up with the journal site called Nature Biotechnology. You have to subscribe to get all of the articles in full text, but every month they put several in the full text option for viewers to see. Biotechnology Journals and Periodicals http://www.bio.com/news/journals.html This site has a huge list of journals that are directly addressing biotechnology issues. http://genome.eerie.fr/Genome_Centre.html This is a list of BioInformation centres working on the Human Genome. |
