About this work

Description

The Medical Research Council (MRC) Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) Notebooks subseries (SB/6/5) is composed of 143 notebooks and three files of loose papers which are mostly related to nematode research from the 1960s to 1981. They were accessioned in 2007. The data inside varies, but includes columns of different phenotypes, as well as some experimental notes and techniques. The notebooks were created by Sydney Brenner and his laboratory group. The notebooks are organized numerically by a system devised by Brenner. They are numbered 1-130; notebook 128 is missing. Notebooks 66-68 consist of blank pages, and notebook 71 is empty. Unnumbered notebooks have been placed at the end of the subseries, and are arranged chronologically. Finally, loose papers (including two files of material created by Brenner's student Jonathan Hodgkin) have been placed after the unnumbered notebooks.
