Biotechnology Super Sites
Dedicated to biotechnology for teachers, faculty and students of modern biology.
California Community Colleges through the EDNet Initiative have participated in sharing curriculum and instructional materials and have them online
A comprehensive list of and links to resources for modern biology, including links to journals.
Very minimal but very impressive.
34 short, easy to understand and beautifully illustrated articles to educate physicians in biotechnological methods produced between July 1994 and September 1996 by the New England Journal of Medicine.
An online textbook of modern biology produced the "Experimental Study Group" at MIT. A review of basic chemistry and an in depth discussion of large molecules, Central Dogma, the Lac operon and other regulated systems in procaryotes, Southern, Western and Northern blots, PCR.
A series of labeled diagrams with explanations representing the important processes of biotechnology produced from Access Excellence at Genentech. Each diagram is followed by a summary of information, providing a context for the process illustrated.
BIOSIS, established in 1926, is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to foster the growth, communication and use of biological knowledge for the common good. By accumulating the world's largest collection of abstracts and bibliographic references to worldwide biological and medical literature and organizing this information for easy access, BIOSIS provides vital sources of information for life scientists.
A new Internet Web database that currently abstracts and indexes about 1,500 federal patents; 1,000 patent applications; 1,400 patent licenses (450 exclusive); and 950 CRADAs in the biomedical and related biotechnology areas.
This directory covers biotechnology, pharmaceutical development, genetic engineering, medical device development, and related fields such as pharmacology and toxicology. It differs from Biosciences in that Biotechnology places more emphasis on product development and the delivery of products and services. This field will also include some helpful medical informatics and health care delivery references.
This site shows infection of a bacterium by a bacteriophage. It shows the injection of DNA into the bacteria by the bacteriophage, the multiplication of bacteriophages within the bacterium and lysis of the bacterium.
Biotechnology Instructional Materials Web Sites
Cytogenetics
The experimental, graphical user interface to the Genome DataBase at Johns Hopkins University. You can perform such queries of the GDB as, "What genes have been mapped to a particular chromosome location (i.e. cytogenetic band)?".
This is a great site linking specific human chromosome regions to genes that cause a disease.
Ethics in Biotechnology
A non-profit, public interest organization dedicated to education about environment, technology, and intellectual property rights. It has a manual on how to test the effect of genetically engineered organisms on humans, and a really good historical look at the ethics/public opinion of biotech.
Genomics, Proteomics, and Bioinformatics
Darwin 2000 The Bioactive Site
A Web Site for Student Research in Bioinformatics, Molecular Biology, and Evolution, this is a site developed specifically for college level courses. It contains a series of modules, each focusing on the use of a specific biocomputing tool. Scroll down to the middle of the page to find a series of four interactive exercises. The interactive exercises contained within each module explain how to use the tool, what kinds of scientific questions can be investigated using the tool, and what concepts in molecular biology, biochemistry, and evolution are illustrated through these investigations.
Compiled by Dr. Rick Hershberger Carlow College
National Center for Biotechnology Information: Education Page
This website has more information on the field of bioinformatics, including information about additional applications of bioinformatics in biology. It also features a more extensive tutorial for those who wish to learn more about BLAST.
National Center for Biotechnology Information: Sequence Similarity Searching
BLAST is an example of a program that carries out sequence similarity searching. This site explains sequence similarity searching in more detail, defining words like homology and paralogy.
current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP)
Covance provides comprehensive cGMP and ICH-compliant stability programs and has both walk-in and reach-in stability chambers that are continuously monitored. Chamber conditions are all ICH-qualified and specialty conditions can be provided to meet customer-specific requirements.
