HistoryOfBiology.net

Hello, and welcome to History of Biology. This is a website where I (Anders Skovly) publish articles on cell biology, microbiology, and molecular biology. The website also contains texts on various other topics that interest me. Some articles are in English and some are in Norwegian.


Biology topics


History of biology

The origins of cell- and microbiology: Hooke and Leeuwenhoek
Cell biology in the 1800's: From globules to chromosomes
The early history of microbiology

Transcription and translation: From DNA to protein

(The articles in this category were the first ones I wrote, and I now consider them as too textbook-like compared to the other articles. I intend to rewrite the contents of this category at a later date.)

Proteins and nucleic acids / Proteiner og nukleinsyrer
Transcription in bacteria / Transkripsjon i bakterier
Transcriptional regulation / Regulering av transkripsjon
Translation in bacteria / Oversetting i bakterier
