Springer’s series: Methods in Molecular Biology

Posted on by

“Springer is pleased to announce the pub­li­ca­tion of the 500th vol­ume in the best-selling series, Meth­ods in Mol­e­c­u­lar Biol­ogy. To com­mem­o­rate this mile­stone, we have made some pro­to­cols from this 500th vol­ume — Sys­tems Biol­ogy, edited by Ivan Maly — avail­able for free online at SpringerProtocols.com. As this new vol­ume demon­strates, Springer con­tin­ues to pub­lish pro­to­cols at the cutting-edge of research.”
From an email ad from the pub­lisher, 4/23/09.

PUL has an ongo­ing sub­scrip­tion to this Springer series.  We’ve not yet received vol­ume 500 — but we have received #528. (They often come out of sequence.)  You may want to fol­low their link.  They have ways to store your own pro­to­cols, and videos of some, and links to the newest with RSS feeds…similar to Wiley’s offerings.

 

VADLO — a search engine for the Life Sciences

Posted on by

VADLO search engine, devel­oped by 2 biologists, caters to all branches of bio­med­i­cine and life sci­ences. Searchers may delve within five cat­e­gories: Pro­to­cols, Online Tools, Sem­i­nars, Data­bases and Software.

“Pro­to­cols cat­e­gory will let you search for meth­ods, tech­niques, assays, pro­ce­dures, reagent recipes, plas­mid maps, etc. Online Tools will cater cal­cu­la­tors, servers, pre­dic­tion tools, sequence align­ment and manip­u­la­tion tools, primer design etc. Sem­i­nars are essen­tially pow­er­point files for pre­sen­ta­tions, lec­tures and talks. Data­bases will take you to, well, data­bases, resources, com­pi­la­tions, lists etc. It is here that you can also search for your favorite genes and pro­teins. Soft­ware cat­e­gory is for bioin­for­mat­ics experts who are look­ing for codes, scripts, algo­rithms, exe­cuta­bles, down­load­able pro­grams and collaborations”
