1. Site: http://www.blc.arizona.edu/molecular_graphics/dna_structure/dna_tutorial.html
This article was written by Richard B. Hallick in 1995 and did not contain any in-text citations or referenced sources. The main purpose of this article was to supply an advanced introduction of the DNA structure. It was a neutral and unbiased article as it simply described the DNA structure. This site was funded by the Biology Learning Center in the University of Arizona. It is targeted at teenagers and above that have a basic grasp of the DNA Structure.
2. Site: http://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/the-promise-and-perils-of-synthetic-biology#REF50
This article was written by Johnathan B. Tucker and Raymond A. Zillinskas in the year 2006. It contained many in-text citations and referenced sources that ranged from 2004 to 2006. This site accurately described various arguments that both supported and went against Artificial Gene Synthesis in an unbiased context. The site was funded by 'The New Atlantlis,' an online article directory that concerns technology and society. The article is targeted at adult readers interested in Artifical Gene Synthesis, and contains a small amount of difficult scientific terms.
3. Site: http://www.geneticliteracyproject.org/2013/11/12/do-the-benefits-of-synthetic-biology-outweigh-the-risks/#.U3XTcPmSySo
This article was written by Jeremy Summers in 2013. It contained both in-text citations and 'additional' references that ranged from 2009 to 2013. This site describes various pros and cons of the Artificial Gene Synthesis, however in a biased way, leaning more towards supporting Artifical Gene Synthesis. The site is funded by the Genetic Literacy Project. The article is targeted at other scientists in similar fields and contains simple and understandable language with very few advanced terminologies.
4. Site: http://www.genewiz.com/public/gene-synthesis-vs-cloning.aspx
This article, or comparison table was issued by Genewiz (a gene synthesis company) in 2014. This information was their own researched information and therefore no citing nor references were found. The information accurately describes the differences between Artificial Gene Synthesis and DNA Cloning. It is biased towards Artificial Gene Synthesis as the superior technology. The source is funded by the company itself. The article is written for readers that interested in the creation of DNA and contains generally simple terminology.
5. Site: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1S0x3aRCviM&list=PLjzDbLSwIhxylbHa016LkdHYaNixnJVYv&index=2
This documentary was issued by GeneArt (gene synthesis company) in 2011. The information supplied was based on their own company and therefore no citing nor references were found. The documentary clearly outlined the process of Artificial Gene Synthesis, however, only did not share an opinion of arguments for and against Artificial Gene Synthesis. The source was funded by LifeTechnologiesCorp, a company which specializes in various fields of DNA. The documentary is very easy to follow and is suited for teenagers or older with a basic knowledge of DNA structure.
