Strong Points: Wide range of links
Weak Points: A bit too commercial
Summary:
Horizon Press is one of those sites that has been out there for a long time that I haven’t covered here, and it is high time I did so. Hosts to several useful websites in molecular biology, the one cited here, Molecular Biology Gateway, contains an impressive number of links. After starting with a link to books they publish, Highly Recommended Reading, the site moves to more relevant topic areas, including Genomics and Bioinformatics, PCR, Journals/Books, Protocols, Technology, General Molecular Biology, Virology, and Microbiology. Many of these links are sort of circular, leading back to Horizon Press sites/books, but there is enough “break through” to make the site worth a visit. Google ads makes another appearance, and the commercial side of the site is not trivial, but there is literally something here for molecular biologists of all types.
