Links to Reference Material for Journal Reports
The following links are to a variety of sources that follow recent developments in the biotechnology sector. These should be useful in helping to select topics that are of broad interest and provide some of the background material for your reports. Material drawn from sources such as Forbes, the Wall Street Journal, Genetic Engineering News, Bio-IT World, and Genome Technology will need to be supplemented with reference material from the primary literature. Likewise, news articles appearing in journals such as Science and Nature need supporting information from the peer-review articles appearing in those or other journals.
