- Genetech, Inc.
This site is maintained by Genentech, Inc., "a pioneer biotechnology company that discovers, develops, manufactures and markets human pharmaceuticals for significant unmet medical needs." There is a lot of interesting information here about biotechnology (click here for an introduction to the topic), including Biotech Chronicles, which provides the history of biotechnology including timelines, introductions to pioneering biotech scientists, and discussion of major historical events. There is also an introduction to the Human Genome Project, a career center (providing information to students interested in pursuing a career in biotech), Science Updates (weekly updates from laboratories around the world), and a nice image library of various molecular processes (e.g., DNA replication).

- Tutorials in Molecular Biology
A team at UCLA has developed these online tutorials to provide students with an introduction to molecular biology. The material is divided into three sections: processes (introduction to transcription, translation, and gene splicing), techniques (sequencing and PCR) and model systems (Lac operon and lambda life cycle). The tutorials consist primarily of animations that provide a brief introduction to each topic with a minimum of text information. Required: Shockwave plug-in.

- What the Heck is PCR?
A short explanation of this process. National Centre for Biotechnology Education. An overview of the origins and nature of biotechnology and enzymes used in food production can be found in Food Biotechnology: past, present, and future. This well written, comprehensive web site includes examples of current plant biotechnology, and plants that are currently undergoing field trials. Some of the concerns for environmental safety are explained.
