Those are journals, right? Anyone knows a good, in-depth, canonical, non-obsolete introductory text for all of these? Something like Spivak but for Biotechnology? Something structured and consolidated that can be read linearly during some months...
- akiselev 11y agoNo, they're the gold standard university textbooks in molecular biology. They are very useful encyclopedic references that happen to be marketed as entry level texts
- harperlee 11y agoOh, I googled them quickly but misread the results. Thanks for the correction. But I guess, if you consider them more encyclopedic than entry level, that my question still stands. Do you have any particular recommendation? You seem to be familiar with the field!
- dekhn 11y agoOh come on! Undergrads typically go through each one of those in a year, they're entry level because they walk you through every bit of introductory details, then rapidly move you to what was state of the art 10 years ago, with tons of citations. I do also use them as references, but they're wholly approachable by a person who has a year to spend learning a deep topic.
