Amos' WWW links page

Release 4.65 / July 1, 1999 (>1000 links!!)

This list contains almost exclusively pointers to information sources for life scientists with an interest in biological macromolecules. Links to protein sequence, 3D structure and 2D-gel analytical tools are provided on the ExPASy server, and more specifically from its Proteomics tools page. Links to Geneva and Swiss biological servers, institutes, etc. are on the Local page of ExPASy. Finally, if you don't find what you want here, do not forget to use our BioHunt molecular biology information search engine.

If you think that I should add a specific link, then send me the relevant details, but I reserve the right to choose what I want to include in this page!
