We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Molecular Biology",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Polymerases for all your molecular biology needs from
Anachem, which we summarised at the time by saying "Anachem says its new KeyZyme DNA polymerase enzymes provide a high quality, economical alternative for all your PCR protocols".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Fifth edition of Molecular Biology of the Cell from
Garland Science: "Since the first edition published 25 years ago, Molecular Biology of the Cell has become the leading cell biology textbook, lauded as 'the most influential cell biology textbook of its time'".
In January 2008, we covered the news from iSoft
- take a look at Axon Lab is new iSoft distributor in Switzerland
which says: "Axon Lab, a service provider for diagnostics and molecular biology, will support iSoft, an IBA Health Group company, as distribution partner in Switzerland with immediate effect".
Take a look also at the news release from Waters, Expanding the boundaries of mass spectrometry,
as well as Guides to Gene Pulser MXcell now available from Bio-Rad Laboratories,
and Stratech Scientific celebrates 25 years from Stratech Scientific.
