Objective:

 (former 0/2/99)

While the world wide web abounds with information about most aspects of biotechnology and genetic engineering supplied by industries, government authorities and universities, there is little transnational coverage of this important field. IUPAC, as a major international organization involved in the promotion of all aspects of pure and applied chemistry worldwide, has a mission to disseminate information of this important area across country borders, and its commission on biotechnology (COB) is the appropriate unit to address this goal.

Description:
No description available.
Progress:
In a first initiative, we have already set up a web page which couldserve as a directory to national web sites on biotechnology <http://www.itb.uni-stuttgart.de:8080/IUPAC/navigator/navigator.html>and eventually be transferred to the IUPAC home page. This shell nowneeds to be filled with suitable information, and some of the membersof COB have expressed their interest to become involved in this task.

Project begun Summer '98, with 2 years' duration. The production ofthe book will be iterative with detailed comments from CNIC memberson all chapters required to ensure consistency throughout. Commentsfrom the chemical community will be welcome.
