Das 1990 gegründete Interfakultäre Zentrum für Ethik in den Wissenschaften (IZEW) ist ein interdisziplinäres Forschungszentrum der Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen. Am IZEW wird das Programm einer "Ethik in den Wissenschaften" verfolgt, das die Frage der Verantwortung bereits in den Wissenschaften selbst thematisiert. Das IZEW will den Dialog zwischen Natur-, Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften mit Blick auf ethische Fragen fördern. Die wissenschaftsethische Forschung am IZEW umfasst beispielsweise die Gentechnik an Pflanzen, Tieren und Menschen, die Umweltethik, die Transplantationsmedizin sowie Grundlagenfragen der Ethik in den Wissenschaften. Weitere Arbeitsschwerpunkte sind der Transfer zwischen ethischer Forschung und dem Bildungsbereich sowie die Dokumentation wissenschaftsethischer Literatur. ... [Information des Anbieters]
BATS Centre is a leading competence center studying the effects of biotechnology. The main application of biotechnology is in farming (green biotechnology) and medicine (red biotechnology). Looking forward, the BATS Centre analyses possible effects on economy, ecology and society.We are heading towards the following goals: that research objectives are adjusted to take account of sustainability, that society is informed of the social effects and can then decide which limits to place. ...

The Internet portal gmo-safety.eu provides up-to-date clear and intelligible information about current and past biosafety research into genetically modified plants in Germany. The focus is on projects supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The sections ‘Maize’, ‘Grain’, ‘Potatoes’, ‘Oilseed rape’, ‘Woody plants’, ‘Monitoring’ and ‘Gene transfer’ provide comprehensive basic information about the key BMBF-funded research areas. A database with summaries of research topics, methods and results (‘Database’) is supplemented by exciting insights into the everyday working lives of researchers (‘Science live’), background reports on individual topics (‘Focus’) and news stories on everything to do with biological safety research both in Germany and at international level (‘News’). The ‘Debate’ section is designed to enliven the discussion about green genetic engineering by offering new perspectives and surprising points of view – this section regularly presents interesting texts on scientifically and socially relevant topics. There is also a glossary with key terms, a photo database and a schools portal (German only) with suggestions for teachers. ... [Information of the supplier]

GoPubMed retrieves PubMed abstracts for your search query, detects Gene Ontology (GO) terms in the abstracts, displays a subset of the GO relevant to the keywords, and allows you to browse the ontology and display only papers containing specific GO terms. After performing a search, the resulting abstracts are annotated with your query keywords and GO terms. The abstracts are grouped using the GO terms, which appear in the text. Now you can use the GO hierarchy to systematically explore your search results. ... [Information of the supplier]
OpenWetWare is an effort to promote the sharing of information, know-how, and wisdom among researchers and groups who are working in biology & biological engineering. OWW provides a place for labs, individuals, and groups to organize their own information and collaborate with others easily and efficiently. In the process, we hope that OWW will not only lead to greater collaboration between member groups, but also provide a useful information portal to our colleagues, and ultimately the rest of the world. If you would like edit access, would be interested in helping out, or want your lab website hosted on OpenWetWare, please join us. ... [Information of the supplier]
