Frequently Asked Questions
|
- What is Science Functional Genomics?
- Science Functional Genomics is designed to serve as a convenient entry point to the rich world of genomics and, especially, post-genomics. It includes current news, a news archive, drawn mainly from Science and ScienceNOW, a collection of research papers and news broken into various categories of interest in the post-genomic world, a page gathering together Science's genome special issues, pointers to a wide variety of scientific and educational Web resources in genomics and post-genomics, and a special node of news and information on the biotechnology business.
We don't pretend to be able to capture the vast constellation of post-genomics resources on this small site. Our goal is to provide a representative sample, and a convenient jumping-off point for your own genomic explorations -- leavened with enough news and breaking information to keep things fresh and interesting. We hope you'll bookmark our home page, and that you'll come back frequently.
- Is the site free?
- Access to the pages that constitute Science Functional Genomics is unrestricted. However, many of the links on the site point to premium content that has some sort of restriction, requiring either free registration or a paid subscription. Here's a summary of the access restrictions for resources on Science Online:
Science. Links to Science generally point to pages that either are freely accessible or require a free registration. The latter category includes such things as abstracts of research articles and reports and summaries of Perspectives and news. Full text of these documents and of associated PDF files is available to subscribers to Science Online.
ScienceNOW. Links to ScienceNOW articles point to full-text documents, available only to subscribers; no free summary is available. ScienceNOW is included in the Science Online subscription bundle for both individuals and institutions. It's also available to individuals as a stand-alone product, costing a mere U.S.$29.95 per year -- less than a dime a day for Science-quality news coverage, delivered daily.
Science's Next Wave. One of the Web's premier career and job information nodes for young scientists, Next Wave includes a variety of freely available resources, as well as premium content available to subscribers only. Full access to Next Wave is included in the Science Online subscription bundle for individuals, and is also available as a stand-alone product for both individuals (less than $20 per year) and institutions.
Science Careers. All resources are freely accessible.
- What about material from external sources?
- In addition to providing a gateway to the resources of Science Online, we've also provided numerous links to external genomics, bioinformatics, and biotech Web sites, as well as to freely available online resources of selected news providers (under the guidelines posted on the copyright pages of those providers). Needless to say, as is spelled out in considerable detail on the Science Online copyright page, neither Science nor its publisher, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, take any responsibility for the content or information on these third-party sites, even if it's accessed from one of our pages.
- This site displays poorly on [insert your browser here].
- This site has been tested on as many browsers and platforms as was practical -- which, in our case, means Netscape 4.6, Internet Explorer 5, and Opera 4.02 on the PC, and Netscape 4.7 on the Mac. The layout relies heavily on nested tables and makes (sparing) use of style tags and JavaScript (it should still work with these features turned off, however). It's probably okay on most recent browsers; if you have a specific problem, let us know so we can improve the pages.
