During the course of biology class on molecular genetics I asked the students to produce a term paper on a topic of their own choice. I adopted the idea of this project from a colleague of mine, Christian Lischer. The original scope of topics was centred around genetically modified organisms, but later I opened the range to include biotechnologies in more general terms.

The exact assignment is visible here.

All papers are originals without any editing. Students were very resourceful and very up to date in choosing their topic. Please take into account the context of time, when you study the different papers that have been written over a 10-year-period.

But see for yourself ...
