Cell and Molecular Biology Online

http://www.cellbio.com/

"The goal of Cell and Molecular Biology Online is to serve as a general resource for the biology community with an emphasis on information for cell and molecular biologists. There is a ton of information pertaining to biology available on the World Wide Web, but it can be very time consuming to find the specific information that you need. I try to sift through all the biology material and choose sites that are particularly useful and well-organized. Most of these sites will serve as further jumping off points to find more information in a particular field." Site includes annotated links to web sites, organized into topic areas such as Electronic Publications, Educational Resources, Methods and Protocols, Current Research, Career Resources, Meetings and Conferences, and a FAQ.
