In 1995 the sequencing of the first genome of a free-living organism moved biology irrevocably into the new data-rich era of bioinformatics. The availability of the blueprint of simple organisms and, in the near future, of humans has not of itself answered all our questions. New knowledge leads to new perspectives, new challenges and, ultimately, the promise of new products, leading to fundamental changes in the way that the pharmaceutical industry, for example, goes about its business. For the moment, however, the blueprint offers a static, incomplete and sometimes conjectural picture of the cell and organism. Beyond the detail of connecting gene to function, what is missing is the dynamic: a clear model of how a single gene functions within a complex network to govern expression of the blueprint, an understanding of how the protein folds, and a vision of how metabolic pathways and, in their turn, cells, tissues and organs are integrated to deliver the features we commonly recognise in living organisms. This fundamental shift would not have been possible without the power of modern information technology. The storage, manipulation and analysis of sequence and structural data pose leading edge computational challenges. Progress has been greatly facilitated by development of Web- accessible databases and applications software. Computers are also providing the means to simulate many of the dynamic features of life that are currently of interest and thereby to test and inform hypotheses. The flow of benefit has not, however, been entirely in one direction into the life sciences. Much of what we understand about the organisation of biological processes can in turn be applied to produce new approaches to solving problems in computer science, such as neural and evolutionary computing. The virtuous circle is complete when these new techniques are themselves applied to biological problems. o The course The M.Sc. in Biosystems & Informatics addresses the issues identified above from the perspective of both the biologist and the computer scientist. The aim of the course is to enable life science graduates to become conversant with the use of computers to address biological problems by means of molecular data (bio/informatics) and modelling of biological systems (biosystems). A complementary aim is to provide computer science graduates with a grounding in the life sciences sufficient to enable them to work on life science problems and develop applications employing biological metaphors. Both areas increasingly rely on World-Wide Web data and tools which will be a significant feature of the course for both cohorts of students. The course will admit students with B.Sc. degrees at a 2.II standard or better in either: o A life or biomedical science underpinned by a good level of IT awareness. o Computer science, mathematics, engineering or other appropriate degree with a significant IT component. Biology students should ideally have an A-level in mathematics, physics or information technology whilst for other graduates, a science A-level would be preferred. o Course structure The academic year comprises three semesters and students take modules to an equivalent of 4 points (60 CATS) in each semester. Semester 1: Students take 1-point modules in Bioinformatics and Java Programming. They then have a choice of two further 1-point modules chosen according to their background from the following: Fundamental molecular biology, Advanced topics in molecular biology, Biocomputing and Application of information technology. Point at which Postgraduate Certificate can be awarded Semester 2: Students take a 1.5-point module in Biosystems and continue the theme of the first semester with a 0.5-point module entitled Case studies on advanced topics in bioinformatics. They undertake a 1-point dissertation and then choose one further module from the following: Knowledge-based systems, Data structures and maintenance, Biology of information, Efficient parallel algorithms. Point at which a Postgraduate Diploma can be awarded. Semester 3: Students undertake a 4-point research project making use of the new skills and perspectives they have obtained. Point at which a Masters degree can be awarded. In order to obtain credit for a course module that can be included in a 'record of achievement' transcript, the student must achieve a pass mark of at least 50% in that module. The award of M.Sc. requires that a minimum of 180 credits be obtained, this representing a mark of 50% or more in all modules. The award of a Postgraduate Diploma requires a minimum of 120 credits and award of a Postgraduate Certificate a minimum of 60 credits. o Careers The employment prospects for bioinformaticians are currently very good as there is a widely recognised shortage of trained staff, particularly at the post-doctoral level. A survey conducted by the BBSRC estimated that there was an immediate requirement for a 60% increase in staff numbers in the non-medical bioscience academic sector, and a corresponding 45% increase required in the large pharmaceutical companies. Some 60 posts are currently advertised for the UK and Europe on the CCP11 Web noticeboard. A longer international list can be consulted at the GenomeJobs Web site. Celera, arguably the most ambitious and well-funded of the new US companies, claims to be hiring one person per day at present with the majority of its staff being software, IT, and bioinformatics professionals. o Biocomputing at Liverpool Liverpool is well placed to exploit these new interfacial themes. The Department of Computer Science has been proactive both in exploiting the new biological paradigms in its own teaching and research and in forming productive alliances with biologists, most notably through the auspices of the Biocomputing Group. Dr Paton has been instrumental in establishing the IPCAT (Information processing in cells and tissues) conference as a major focus for international developments and more recently has piloted the EPSRC-funded CytoCom network at a national level. Professor Gibbons secured funding under the EPSRC/BBSRC Bioinformatics Program in the area of Generalised DNA Computing with viable resources. The biosciences within the University range through the many facets of traditional biology to biomedicine, bioengineering and veterinary and dental sciences. Biological Sciences has obtained HEFCE competitive funding for creation of the new Liverpool Biosciences Centre and, in association with other departments, has recently attract ed JREI funding for research equipment of significance for bioinformatics development (e.g. tools for proteome analysis, microarray robot). Genomics and proteomics are at the core of these developments and in turn rely extensively on bioinformatics. o For further information Please contact the Course Organiser, Dr Martyn Amos, School of Biological Sciences, The University of Liverpool, Crown Street, Liverpool L69 7ZB.

Course Description ================== Informatics in biology ---------------------- The objective of this course is to give to the researchers and future researchers in biology, an initial exposure to informatics. Entry in the course is reserved to those with a degree in biology or a related discipline. With more and more tools available to the biologist, it has become important that the biologist acquire the ability to judge for themselves the usefulness of a new software by the algorithms it employs. The accent is put on the fundamental aspect of this discipline. Two applications in biology will be studied, the analysis of sequences and molecular modeling. The theoretic aspects of informatics will be introduced: programming languages, programing, logic, and also in the technical domain of the system, the network, and computer architecture. Programming is taught according to the functional paradigm (Lisp), but other styles of programming, such as algorithmic and object oriented, will be introduced. The goal of an excellent level of theory will not hurt the acquisition of practical knowledge which will be directly usable in the labratory. The course will consist of lectures and practical sessions.

But it's DIFFERENT .... this time, it incorporates *E-GOLD (Instant Payout!). You do not need to send cash by mail (which has a very high risk of getting 'lost'). It is also COMPLETELY anonymous! *if you've never used e-gold, I've included some info at the bottom of this email. *** Print This Now For Future Reference *** The following income opportunity is one you may be interested in taking a look at. It can be started with VERY LITTLE investment and the income return is TREMENDOUS!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ If you would like to make at least $50,000 in less than 90 days! Please read the enclosed program...THEN READ IT AGAIN!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ------------------------------------------------------------ HERE'S HOW THIS AMAZING PROGRAM WILL MAKE YOU THOUSANDS OF DOLLAR$ ------------------------------------------------------------ INSTRUCTIONS: This is what you MUST do: (1) Go to: and open an account, if you don't have one already.You will need to fund your new account.(e-gold has various options but I prefer using to fund the e-gold account. You can also use to fund your e-gold account.) [a thought--when you open your E-gold acct. put in $21.00 E-gold charges a 1% transaction fee.] Once you have an e-gold account with at least $21.00 in it, go to step 2. (2) Order all 4 reports shown on the list below (you can't sell them if you don't order them). How to order them? a. Access your e-gold account and click on SPEND. Spend $5 to the e-gold account number under the report #1, putting 'Send me report #1 to [your email address]' in the MEMO. b. Spend $5 to the e-gold account number under the report # 2, putting 'Send me report #2 to [your email address]' in the MEMO. c. Spend $5 to the e-gold account number under the report # 3, putting 'Send me report #3 to [your email address]' in the MEMO. d. Spend $5 to the e-gold account number under the report # 4, putting 'Send me report #4 to [your email address]' in the MEMO. ******Note: [your email address] means leaving your own email address. Then someone can send the report to you by this email address. * When you spend to order, make sure you order each of the four reports. You will need all four reports so that you can save them on your computer and resell them. * Within a few days you will receive, via e-mail, each of the four reports. Save them on your computer so they will be accessible for you to send to the 1,000's of people who will order them from you. (3) IMPORTANT-- DO NOT alter the e-gold account number listed next to each report, or their sequence on the list, in any way other than is instructed below in steps "a" through "f" or you will lose out on the majority of your profits. Once you understand the way this works, you'll also see how it doesn't work if you change it. Remember, this method has been tested, and if you alter it, it will not work. a. Look below for the listing of available reports. b. After you've ordered the four reports, take this advertisement and remove the e-gold account number under REPORT #4. This person has made it through the cycle and is no doubt counting his $50,000! c. Move the e-gold account number under REPORT #3 down to REPORT #4. d. Move the e-gold account number under REPORT #2 down to REPORT #3. e. Move the e-gold account number under REPORT #1 down to REPORT #2. f. Insert your e-gold account number in the REPORT #1 position. Please make sure you copy every number ACCURATELY! (4) Take this entire letter, including the modified list of e-gold account number, and save it to your computer. Make NO changes to the instruction portion of this letter. Your cost to participate in this is practically nothing (surely you can afford $20). You obviously already have an Internet connection and e-mail is FREE! To assist you with marketing your business on the internet, the 4 reports you purchase will provide you with invaluable marketing information which includes how to send bulk e-mails, where to find thousands of free classified ads and much, much more. In addition you will be provided with information on Internet Marketing Clubs such as INTERNET MARKETING RESOURCES(IMR): This is one the premiere internet marketing clubs on the INTERNET. This club provides a forum where internet marketers from all over the world can exchange ideas and secrets on Internet Marketing. In addition,this club specializes in providing free internet marketing tools and services for the Do-Yourself-Internet-Marketer. They will provide you with free bulk e-mail software and up to 1,000,000 fresh e-mail addresses each week. This club will provide you with hundreds of free resources which include: How to obtain free web sites, how to obtain top rankings in search engines for your web-site, how to send bulk e-mail into AOL and Compuserve, how to market your products on newsgroups, free classified ads, electronic malls, bulletin boards, banner ads and much more. http://homepage1-2.virtualave.net/index3.htm There are two primary methods of building your downline: METHOD #1: SENDING BULK E-MAIL Let's say that you decide to start small, just to see how it goes, and we'll assume you and all those involved send out only 2,000 programs each. Let's also assume that the mailing receives a 0.5% response. Using a good list the response could be much better. Also, many people will send out hundreds of thousands of programs instead of 2,000. But continuing with this example, you send out only 2,000 programs. With a 0.5% response, that is only 10 orders for REPORT #1. Those 10 people respond by sending out 2,000 programs each for a total of 20,000. Out of those 0.5%, 100 people respond and order REPORT #2. Those 100 mail out 2,000 programs each for a total of 200,000. The 0.5% response to that is 1,000 orders for REPORT #3. Those 1,000 send out 2,000 programs each for a 2,000,000 total. The 0.5% response to that is 10,000 orders for REPORT #4. That's 10,000 $5 bills for you.Your total income in this example is $50 + $500 + $5,000 + $50,000 for a total of $55,550!!! REMEMBER FRIEND, THIS IS ASSUMING 1,990 OUT OF THE 2,000 PEOPLE YOU MAIL TO WILL DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AND TRASH THIS PROGRAM! DARE TO THINK FOR A MOMENT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF EVERYONE, OR HALF SENT OUT 100,000 PROGRAMS INSTEAD OF 2,000. Believe me, many people will do just that, and more! By the way, your cost to participate in this is practically nothing. You obviously already have an internet connection and e-mail is FREE!!! REPORT #2 will show you the best methods for bulk e-mailing, tell you where to obtain free bulk e-mail software and where to obtain e-mail lists. METHOD #2 - PLACING FREE ADS ON THE INTERNET 1. Advertising on the 'Net is very, very inexpensive, and there are HUNDREDS of FREE places to advertise. Let's say you decide to start small just to see how well it works. Assume your goal is to get ONLY 10 people to participate on your first level. (Placing a lot of FREE ads on the internet will EASILY get a larger response.) Also assume that everyone else in YOUR ORGANIZATION gets ONLY 10 downline members. Follow this example to achieve the STAGGERING results below. 1st level--your 10 members with $5 ......................... $50 2nd level--10 members from those 10 ($5 x 100).............. $500 3rd level--10 members from those 100 ($5 x 1,000)........... $5,000 4th level--10 members from those 1,000 ($5 x 10,000)........ $50,000 ----------- THIS TOTALS ------------------------------------ $55,550 Remember friends, this assumes that the people who participate only recruit 10 people each. Think for a moment what would happen if they got 20 people to participate! Most people get 100's of participants! THINK ABOUT IT! (5) Access your e-gold account and click on HISTORY. You can check the detail information concerning the money you received. Send out the reports people ordered from you. All you must do is to check your e-gold account and e-mail the report people ordered. THAT'S IT! ALWAYS PROVIDE SAME-DAY SERVICE ON ALL ORDERS! This will guarantee that the e-mail THEY send out, with YOUR e-gold account number on it, will be prompt because they can't advertise until they receive the report! ------------------------------------------------------------ AVAILABLE REPORTS ------------------------------------------------------------ *** Order Each REPORT by NUMBER *** REPORT #1 "THE INSIDER'S GUIDE TO ADVERTISING FOR FREE ON THE INTERNET" ORDER REPORT #1 FROM: (Spend $5 to this account and order this report in the MEMO) #138818 ______________________________________________________ REPORT #2 "The Insider's Guide to Sending Bulk E-mail on the Internet" ORDER REPORT #2 FROM: (Spend $5 to this account and order this report in the MEMO) #139064 ____________________________________________________________ REPORT #3 "The Secrets to Multilevel Marketing on the Internet" ORDER REPORT #3 FROM: (Spend $5 to this account and order this report in the MEMO) #138054 ____________________________________________________________ REPORT #4 "How to become a Millionaire utilizing the Power of Multilevel Marketing and the Internet" ORDER REPORT #4 FROM: (Spend $5 to this account and order this report in the MEMO) #139060 ____________________________________________________________ About 50,000 new people get online every month! ******* TIPS FOR SUCCESS ******* * TREAT THIS AS YOUR BUSINESS! Be prompt, professional, and follow the directions accurately. * Send for the four reports IMMEDIATELY so you will have them when the orders start coming in because: When you receive a $5 order, you MUST send out the requested product/report. * ALWAYS PROVIDE SAME-DAY SERVICE ON THE ORDERS YOU RECEIVE. * Be patient and persistent with this program. If you follow the instructions exactly, your results WILL BE SUCCESSFUL! * ABOVE ALL, HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF AND KNOW YOU WILL SUCCEED! ******* YOUR SUCCESS GUIDELINES ******* Follow these guidelines to guarantee your success: If you don't receive 20 orders for REPORT #1 within two weeks, continue advertising or sending e-mails until you do. Then, a couple of weeks later you should receive at least 100 orders for REPORT#2. If you don't, continue advertising or sending e-mails until you do. Once you have received 100 or more orders for REPORT #2, YOU CAN RELAX, because the system is already working for you, and the cash will continue to roll in! THIS IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER: Every time your account number is moved down on the list, you are placed in front of a DIFFERENT report.

Over the past 8 years I have perfected a system called the Proven Credit Advantage Program. It's a guaranteed way for legally getting an excellent credit rating almost instantly. Here's how. You will simply go through my easy 5 step program to quickly get a new, legal, unblemished credit file and establish Excellent Credit. Step 1 - Because no two people in the United States have the same Social Security Number, Banks and Creditors access your credit file almost entirely by your SS#. You will not want to change your Social Security Number because it is extremely difficult to do so and you need it for your Employment, Taxes and Social Security Benefits. The FEDERAL PRIVACY ACT OF 1974 clearly states that only the Government and your employer can force you to use your SS#. Because of this law you are allowed to legally use another 9 digit number to use in place of your Social Security # on credit applications. The first day you become my client, you will receive your own number through the Employer Identification Number Program. You will need us for this because 95% of all Employer Identification Numbers, although 9 digits, do not look anything like Social Security Numbers and cannot be used on credit applications. We will legally get you an Employer Identification Number that fits in the same range of Social Numbers in use today. Because the Federal Laws do not require you to give your SS# to anyone besides your Employer and the Government, you can now legally use this number in place of your SS# on credit applications. Remember, your new number will only be used for new credit. Step 2 - No two people with the same name have the same mailing address, so you will need to obtain a new mailing address for use on your new credit file. A friend, relative or mailbox address in your area will be perfect. Step 3 - No two people with the same name have the same telephone numbers, so you will also need a new telephone number for use on your new credit file. A friend, relative, voice mail or pager will again work perfectly. Step 4 - With your new Social Security number, new address and new telephone number we will open your new credit file. It will now be totally impossible for any creditor to know anything about your past credit history. Step 5- To guarantee that you will quickly qualify for credit again, we will assist you in instantly adding positive information to your new credit file. This is an unknown way of adding real accounts to your new credit file to give you an Excellent Credit Rating in less than 30 days. As you know, the more positive information on your credit file, the more money banks will lend you. Many of our clients have credit lines over $100,000 because of our Proven Credit Advantage Program! When we are finished you will have a copy of your new, legal, unblemished credit file proving that you now have excellent credit again. This will take less than 30 days. You will now be able to easily qualify for credit! To order your Proven Credit Advantage Program simply send me your name, complete mailing address including zip code and telephone number (optional), along with a check or money order payable to American Financial Services Inc. for $29.00. Send to: American Financial Services Inc. Attn: Mike Robbins 311 N. Robertson Blvd. Suite 625 Beverly Hills, CA 90210 All necessary paperwork along with a telephone number to contact us for assistance will be priority mailed to you within 3 business days. RISK FREE DOUBLE YOUR MONEY BACK GUARANTEE My Proven Credit Advantage Program unconditionally guarantees you will qualify for personal loans, business loans, credit cards, auto loans, home loans and any other credit you apply for! If you are not able to qualify for credit after using my program, simply return your Proven Credit Advantage Program along with your denial letter and your $29.00 investment will be refunded DOUBLE! That's a $58.00 refund if this doesn't work like I say! I make this guarantee to you because the Proven Credit Advantage Program has already helped thousands of people just like you. I KNOW it works - all you need to do is order! I truly look forward to making you another SATISFIED CLIENT!! ................................................................................ Yes! I deserve excellent credit. Please enroll me in the Proven Credit Advantage Program. Enclosed is my check/money order for $29.00.

Just returned from a conference hosted by members of the scientific community presenting a testable creation model. This can be found at: http://www.reasons.org Several sources by the scientific community can be suggested that show the dogmatic aspects of naturalistic origins (pysical and organic) and its analytical short comings, while the design theorists simultaneously are showing their theory to be more robust with a greater ability to incorporate a broader range of the data. http://www.arn.org Best regards. --- From owner-bio-info@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk Fri Jun 30 00:03:16 2000 Return-Path: Received: by mercury.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (Postfix, from userid 110) id 9396D17AE6; Fri, 30 Jun 2000 00:03:15 +0100 (BST) Received: by mercury.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (Postfix, from userid 6024) id 509F317AE2; Fri, 30 Jun 2000 00:03:14 +0100 (BST) Received: from niobium.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (niobium [193.62.192.41]) by mercury.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (Postfix) with ESMTP id BDAA9415CF for ; Fri, 30 Jun 2000 00:03:13 +0100 (BST) Received: (from news@localhost) by niobium.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (8.9.3+Sun/8.8.8) id AAA08162 for bio-info-list@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk; Fri, 30 Jun 2000 00:03:13 +0100 (BST) X-Authentication-Warning: niobium.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk: news set sender to using -f From: xanthian@well.com (Kent Paul Dolan) X-Newsgroups: bionet.info-theory Subject: Re: debate challenge Date: 30 Jun 2000 00:03:11 +0100 Organization: BIOSCI/MRC Human Genome Mapping Project Resource Centre Lines: 112 Message-ID: <200006292302.QAA23980@well.com> X-Trace: niobium.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk 962319791 8159 193.62.192.80 (29 Jun 2000 23:03:11 GMT) X-Complaints-To: news@net.bio.net X-Received: by mercury.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (Postfix, from userid 6024) id 35E5717AE2; Fri, 30 Jun 2000 00:03:10 +0100 (BST) X-Received: from smtp.well.com (smtp.well.com [208.178.101.27]) by mercury.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (Postfix) with ESMTP id CA4D5415CF for ; Fri, 30 Jun 2000 00:03:07 +0100 (BST) X-Received: from well.com (xanthian@well.com [208.178.101.2]) by smtp.well.com (8.8.5/8.8.4) with ESMTP id QAA15468; Thu, 29 Jun 2000 16:02:55 -0700 (PDT) X-Received: (from xanthian@localhost) by well.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) id QAA23980; Thu, 29 Jun 2000 16:02:46 -0700 (PDT) X-To: leedsusa@helix.nih.gov X-Cc: bio-info@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk To: bio-info@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk Sender: owner-bio-info@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk Precedence: bulk Peter, Sorry, the http://www.reasons.org page: http://www.reasons.org/resources/apologetics/testablecreationsummary.html under the heading "Testing the Creation Model" _still_ fails to name a single test whose failure would cause the creationists to admit their model of reality is false. In the material above that section are statements so counterfactual as to boggle the mind trained in science. It helps, when reading this material, to remember that evolution _has_ been observed, in historical time, not just the fossil record, and so requirements that the moth we have seen change its species dominent color in response to changes in the color of its resting place, which moth species most certainly did _not_ have a population of a quadrillion members (roughly a thousand moths per square foot of the planet, wet or dry), suggests to any intelligent person that the math results being cited are junk fluffed up from nonsense to support the creationist position. The lack of citations is telling, as well. If, in contrast, you read Darwin's Origin of Species, numerous times you will find in the text: if so-and-so is observed to occur, this theory of mine will be _absolutely_ proved false. That is a pretty straightforward challenge to the naysayer: put up or shut up, and if you can put up, then I'll be the one to shut up. When creationists can understand, and achieve, the level of courage and intellectual honesty, and the conviction of the _provable_ truth of their claims, that the average scientist demonstrates every day in explaining how exactly to prove his or her pet theory false, meaningful dialog can begin. Until then, challenges to "debate" are just invitations to waste time talking to cowardly morons making a nearly effort free living on the credulity of the faithful, who will shift their positions with every loss of ground to experimental findings, and have already demonstrated that tendency/activity times beyond counting. The sun does _not_ revolve around the earth, despite the greatest faith to the contrary, nor did some untangible creator cause Life, the Universe, and Everything, despite the greatest faith to the contrary. Neither hypothesis survives falsification testing, but after being burned on the first issue, the faithful no longer have enough faith to submit the second to falsification testing. As for the design theorists "incorporating a broader range of the data", it is to laugh. All they have done is to take the findings of science, begrudgingly one by one as the evidence for each became overwhelming, whip up some completely mind-boggling creationist explanation that purportedly draws the already known scientific conclusion, and then say: "see, creationism has predictive power, too". It is way easy to predict the past. Predict something that can have no other explanation than intelligent design, independent of stuff already known to science, then come and see me. The cosmic background radiation was predicted from first principles of big bang theory, _before_ anyone ever observed it, and _then_ it was observed, in a way any interested (and well funded) person could replicate. Do that prediction of new, unknown, and reproducable research results from a creationist basis, and then perhaps educated people will stop laughing at creationists. Until then, earplugs are the recommended stopgap solution. xanthian.

Just returned from a conference hosted by members of the scientific community presenting a testable creation model. This can be found at: http://www.reasons.org Several sources by the scientific community can be suggested that show the dogmatic aspects of naturalistic origins (pysical and organic) and its analytical short comings, while the design theorists simultaneously are showing their theory to be more robust with a greater ability to incorporate a broader range of the data. http://www.arn.org Best regards. --- From owner-bio-info@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk Fri Jun 30 21:08:41 2000 Return-Path: Received: by mercury.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (Postfix, from userid 110) id 3C29317B3A; Fri, 30 Jun 2000 21:08:40 +0100 (BST) Received: by mercury.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (Postfix, from userid 6024) id AB3CD17B39; Fri, 30 Jun 2000 21:08:38 +0100 (BST) Received: from niobium.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (niobium [193.62.192.41]) by mercury.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (Postfix) with ESMTP id F00F6415D4 for ; Fri, 30 Jun 2000 21:08:37 +0100 (BST) Received: (from news@localhost) by niobium.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (8.9.3+Sun/8.8.8) id VAA23832 for bio-info-list@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk; Fri, 30 Jun 2000 21:08:37 +0100 (BST) X-Authentication-Warning: niobium.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk: news set sender to using -f Message-ID: <395D0E14.81615B1D@onramp.net> From: biota@onramp.net Reply-To: biota@onramp.net Organization: BIOTA Publications X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.7 (Macintosh; U; PPC) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Newsgroups: bionet.info-theory Subject: >1000 free online resources listed in BioToolKit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; x-mac-type="54455854"; x-mac-creator="4D4F5353" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Lines: 5 Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2000 15:16:38 -0600 X-Complaints-To: abuse@verio.net X-Trace: dfw-read.news.verio.net 962395709 206.50.204.35 (Fri, 30 Jun 2000 20:08:29 GMT) To: bio-info@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk Sender: owner-bio-info@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk Precedence: bulk The BioToolKit has been updated and restructured to enhance access to functional genomics resources (including stocks and clones), proteome analysis tools, and microarray informatics.
