MOLECULAR BIOLOGY RESOURCES ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB

This guide aims to give a brief introduction to some key useful information sources available on the World Wide Web for Molecular Biology. It is intended to provide some helpful starting points, and is not intended to be definitive. More detailed information can be found in Internet for the molecular biologist (Horizon Scientific Press, 1996) by Simon R. Swindell et al.
