A Science Primer: Bioinformatics - A primer on bioinformatics - the field of science in which biology, computer science, and information technology merge to form a single discipline. (National Center for Biotechnology Information)
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/About/primer/bioinformatics.html
A Science Primer: ESTs - A primer on Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) - small pieces of DNA sequence (usually 200 to 500 nucleotides long) that are generated by sequencing either one or both ends of an expressed gene. (National Center for Biotechnology Information)
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/About/primer/est.html
A Science Primer: Genome Mapping - A primer on genome mapping by the use markers - observable variations that results from an alteration, or mutation, at a single genetic locus. (National Center for Biotechnology Information)
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/About/primer/mapping.html
A Science Primer: Microarrays - A primer on microarrays - tools for analyzing gene expression that consists of a small membrane or glass slide containing samples of many genes arranged in a regular pattern. (National Center for Biotechnology Information)
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/About/primer/microarrays.html
A Science Primer: Molecular Genetics - A primer on molecular genetics including: the basics of cell organization and cell division, how the genome contains all the biological information that a cell needs, and the different methods scientists are using to obtain and study DNA. (National Center for Biotechnology Information)
