	Gold Standard Multimedia Miroscopic Anatomy

 Gold Standard Multimedia Inc. has announced the CD-ROM release
of Microscopic Anatomy, an innovative cellular anatomy tutorial the company
has developed in conjunction with the University of Florida College of
Medicine. A Macintosh-based videodisc version of the software has been
primary course material at the College of Medicine for more than three years
and students who have used it praise it as one of the most useful tools for
basic science instruction.

  The new CD-ROM integrates the original two-monitor videodisc program into
a single interactive interface for both the Macintosh and Windows platforms.
This release completes Gold Standard Multimedia's "Anatomy Suite," a three-CD
series which includes the Human Anatomy and Radiologic Anatomy programs
already in use at over 90% of all medical schools in the United States.

Microscopic Anatomy is modeled after the classroom exercises of Dr.
Thomas Hollinger, Associate Professor of Anatomy and Cell Biology at the
University of Florida.  It presents a logical organization of 1,200 histologic 
slides and electron micrographs, each with references to  degrees of 
magnification,detailed explanatory text,descriptions of the staining procedures
for the various specimens, and color arrows highlighting key structures.Zoom 
capabilities allow full-screen enlargement of the slides for
closer observation.  The program also features a five minute movie of Dr. 
Hollinger demonstrating the set-up and use of a microscope.

Because Microscopic Anatomy is based on and intended for an educational
setting, it includes extensive quizzing and review features. The interactive 
"practical"and  written exam formats draw on a bank of more than 1,750 
questions which offer immediate feedback and reinforcement.

The price for the Microscopic Anatomy (MA) Individual CD-ROM is US$99, plus 
shipping.
An Institutional CD-ROM version with additional tools for end-user modification 
will be available
in the coming months for US$500.

Hello,
Is there any software available for BDD.
First, I have to represent sequential machines in smaller sizes.
Second, I will see if it's possible to execute sequential machines in a 
calculator with the BDD representation.
Thank you in advance.

Did you mark the first band in the original image and the next ones in the

In that case an window would appear that tells you that your undo buffer is to small.

If you have horizontal lanes you can use my autoexecutable macro. You find it on my www site.
You only have to mark all lanes, start autoexecute, then you are ask how many lanes are inside the selected area.
The rest will be done for you.

Our Dental Diagnostics Department has written an Image Analysis tool that is 
very versatile.

%%%%%% cliped from http://ddsdx.uthscsa.edu/dig/itdesc.html
UTHSCSA ImageTool (IT) is a free image processing and analysis program for 
Microsoft Windows 95ª or
Windows NTª. IT can acquire, display, edit, analyze, process, compress, save 
and print gray scale and color
images. IT can read and write over 22 common file formats including BMP, PCX, 
TIF, GIF and JPEG. Image
analysis functions include dimensional (distance, angle, perimeter, area) and 
gray scale measurements (point,
line and area histogram with statistics). ImageTool supports standard image 
processing functions such as
contrast manipulation, sharpening, smoothing, edge detection, median filtering 
and spatial convolutions with
user-defined convolution masks. IT also has built-in macro capabilities that 
allow the user to record repetitive
tasks and playback saved macros to automate image analysis. 

ImageTool was designed with an open architecture that provides extensiblity via 
a variety of plug-ins. Support
for image acquisition using either Adobe Photoshop plug-ins or Twain scanners 
is built-in. Custom analysis and
processing plug-ins can be developed using the software development kit (SDK) 
provided (with source code).
This approach makes it possible to solve almost any data acquisition or 
analysis problem with IT. 

ImageTool provides for geometric transformations such as rotate, flip vertical, 
flip horizontal and magnification
up to four levels. All analysis and processing functions are available at any 
magnification factor. The program is
a multiple document interface (MDI) application supporting any number of 
windows (images) simultaneously. 

Spatial calibration is available to indicate real world dimensional 
measurements such as millimeters, microns,
feet, miles, etc. for linear and area. Density or gray scale calibration can be 
done relative to radiation or optical
density (OD) standards. 

Future versions of IT will provides for image annotation with text, arrows, 
rectangle, ellipses and polygon.
Multiple levels of undo are provided. 

ImageTool is in beta release 1.0, we would appreciate any bug reports and 
suggestions to improve IT as a tool
for imaging research. Bugs will be fixed and improvement made as time permits. 

ImageTool was written using Borland's C++ version 4.5 and the source code for 
the executable is available free
of charge. IT was developed in the Department of Dental Diagnostic Science at 
The University of Texas Health
Science Center, San Antonio, Texas. The program was developed by C. Donald 
Wilcox, S. Brent Dove, W.
Doss McDavid and David B. Greer.

                                   As the old saying goes: 
                              "You need IT, You ought to have IT,
                                   So go ahead and FTP IT 

              ImageTool is available via anonymous FTP at 
ftp://maxrad6.uthscsa.edu 

You will need to download Part 1 and Part 2. If you have already downloaded 
Part 2 of either ImageTool or
Image Quiz you do not need to download it again. As both programs use the same 
DLLs

Hi, I am trying to determine heterologous nucleotides in a set of
related sequences.  So far, I have been able to determine homologous
nucleotides, by performing a multiple sequence alignment and shading
homologouse regions,2 this isn't of much use since the remaining
sequences may hav homology with one another. For example:
sequence 1: A
sequence 2: A
sequence 3: A
sequence 4: C
sequence 5: C
sequence 6: T
Conventional shading programs would shade all sequences containing "A"
(1,2, & 3). However, I would like a program which would shade "C" as well
in sequences 4 & 5. That is, a program to detect all nonunique 
nucleotides (T in sequence 6, in the above example). If anyone knows of a
program with this ability please email me. Much obliged,
JMH

You could try http://genome1.bio.bnl.gov/bbq.html under "Programs for

ABOUT PUZZLE:

PUZZLE is an ANSI C compliant and PHYLIP compatible program that
implements the
quartet puzzling method for reconstructing tree topologies from character
state
data.  Quartet puzzling is a method that applies maximum likelihood tree
recon-
struction to all possible quartets of taxa and subsequently tries to
combine
most of the four-taxa maximum likelihood trees to construct an overall
tree.
Usually there are several possible solutions.  A consensus tree generated
from
the quartet puzzling trees shows nodes that are well supported.  More
details
about the algorithm and on the phylogenetic accuracy will be published
elsewhere
(K. Strimmer and A. von Haeseler, 1996). 

PUZZLE supports all popular models of sequence evolution of nucleotides
and
proteins.  PUZZLE is platform independent and runs sucessfully on a large
variety of computers under many operation systems, including MacOS,
MS-DOS,
UNIX, and VMS.  Precompiled executables are provided for MacOS and MS-DOS.
For UNIX and VMS system specific files for automated compilation are
provided.

I have used LIMAN german) for a while and would like to try out
another one. Therefor I would appreciate a LINK to this program
("REFS"). Do you know the filename that I could use with ARCHIE? Or an
FTP directory? Or a WEB page?

Thanks a lot,

You can contact to VayTek, Inc. for a software which is used for
confocal microscopy. This program can be downloaded from University of
Iowa, FREE. However, if you need to have full version with support you
need to contact the company. Therin e-mail address is
vaytek@ins.infonet.net. You can talk to David Fleshman at 515-472-2227,
or fax to them at 515-472-8131. They send you more info and video tape
which explains the details of the program. they used this program for
3-D analysis of the hearth. It seem a very good program. I do not have
any connection with the company. Let me know if I may assist further.
Good luck.

Also, there seems to be a nice project opening up in the form of the 
windows/mac/unix program called 'seqpup', I think. It's free and 
available by ftp from fly.iubio.indiana.edu. Can't remember if it 
includes a restriction mapping module or not. Also, PC-gene does a 
massive amount of sequence adata analysis, but the interface is a bit 
ropey. Also you may want to see if your Mac progs run on the Mac emulator 
'executor', which is a PC program. An old version of DNA strider, a Mac 
program, runs fine on this emulator on a PC.

I am currently using GFP-expressing flies and am looking at embryonic develop-
ment.  i am working under high power magnification on an inverted microscope
and want to set up a video system where I can look at these embryos and acquire
images that show the GFP with good resolution.  i am finding that I am having 
trouble resolving the expression on video images at the single cell level.  I 
was wondering if anyone had good advice on what kind of video system to set up
for this purpose and especially what kind of imaging software to get.  what
are the pros and cons of the various packages you have used?

Any info at all would be greatly appreciated.....

For the uninitiated, Network Entrez is a client/server retrieval system
which includes access to the public sequence databases as well as 3-D
structures, a genome database, and portions of MEDLINE.

Many people use 'Network Entrez' behind their institutional firewall, with
mixed results to date due to incompatabilities between firewalls and the
design of Network Entrez.

As of Network Entrez release 4.013, which is currently on
  ftp://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/network
it is possible to reverse the direction of the client<->server connection
in a manner which is more favorable to firewalls, namely, by causing
the client to connect to the server instead of vice versa.  The default
behavior is still for the server to connect back to the client.  To
override this behavior you can either
  (a) select the "Outgoing connections only" checkbox on the second screen
      of the netentcf configuration program
            OR
  (b) manually set DIRECT_SVC_CON=TRUE in the [NET_SERV] section of the
      NCBI configuration file on your system.


It is our intention to continue to support the UNIX SOCKS capability of
Network Entrez which was added in mid-1994.  We have no plans to add
any SOCKS capability for non-UNIX platforms.  Note, however, that on Windows
platforms it is possible in principle for a SOCKS-friendly WinSock
implementation to effectively provide SOCKSified Network Entrez access when
used in combination with the DIRECT_SVC_CON mode described above.

The next version of the NCBI toolbox
  ftp://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/toolbox/ncbi_tools
will contain this new functionality, and naturally we encourage you to
develop client software which makes use of this functionality.
You may also wish to compile Network Entrez for yourself from source
code if you have an institutional firewall which requires special
treatment.

Please direct general Network Entrez queries to net-info@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov,
and general NCBI toolbox questions to toolbox@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.

Cheers,

- Jonathan

Hi Louise: Windows programs are much easier to use than DOS, especially when 
you need to play around with axis or figures. I have found that Stanford 
Graphics 3.0 let you customize scientific and technical graphs easily, and 
also let you present yor graph on the way that Freelance or Harvard Graphic 
does using master slide templates, a nice feature if you are planing 
presentatios or printing slides. This days I think you can get the program for 
$99. One downside is that broken axes are clumsy, so if you use a lot of 
broken axes better stay off this program. SigmaPlot for windows is also very 
powerful and easy to customize, but is much more expensive.

Could you please help me find an adequate software package for 
making scientific graphs.  I need something that will make 
publication quality multiple graphs with numerous species density 
classes on an axes of distance in a river.  I would also need a 
graphing tool to make box plots on an distance scale on a river, 
as well as error bars on linear graph.  The program would also 
require some drawing possibilities to be able to make 
inscriptions of towns and effluent from industries.
If you know of any software that can do this without to much 
tampering, please reply. 
I have used Freelance, Harvard Graphic and Sigma plot, all for 
DOS.  Do the windows versions work better?

the contents of a greenhouse in order to make it accessible for people at
a University (Professors and Grad students) to find out what and where
things are located and some basic information about the plant in question?
The ability to include photos and hyperlinkes would be great.

Dear Chuck,

You don't need another program.  Just select the sequence or sequences that 
you want to export from your Sequencher project and use the Export Sequences
command under the FILE menu (import/export).  When you see the Mac's "File 
Save" dialogue, you'll notice a "Format" button at the bottom of the window.  
Click it and you'll be able to choose between sixteen or seventeen file 
formats including ASCII (that's probably what you want), GenBank, GCG, IG, 
SCF (if you are using files that have chratogram data) and - now that I 
think of it - even Strider.  It's worth mentioning that the code for many 
of the file exporting routines in Sequencher come from the excellent 
software library of Don Gilbert.

To make things easier on yourself, you can set Sequencher's User Prefs to
attach a particular application signature to files that are exported
as plain text.  For instance, you can export text files with Microsoft
Word's signature.  That way, when you double click on the exported document
it will launch Word instead of Sequencher.

I don't read this group as often as I would like, so if you have further
questions, you can e-mail me directly or send a message to 
support@genecodes.com.

Regards,

Howard Cash

You can direct that Sequencher sequence files be saved as ASCII text (as
well as several other formats).  Now, if you mean a shareware that can
read ABI 373 output and convert it to text, then that's a diiferent
story!   ;^)

Do any of you out in cyber space have Any experience with
True Basic? I am writing some simple simulation programs for
a pharmacology course and need something which can (1) Import
graphics files of scanned images (2) Does not eat tons of
memory - I want to distribute it to students on 3.5 inch disks.
(3) Would my students be required to have a copy of True Basic
or does it produce stand alone files for playback? What is the
approximate cost? Any dealers who are pleasant to deal with?

Any direction would be appreciated.

Thank you kindly,

              A TRULY POWERFUL FAX SOFTWARE 

  FaxMail for Windows is extremely fast and easy to use, with fewer
  mouse commands and keystrokes required for all functions than any
  other comparable product. It includes every convenience and utility
  feature offered by commercial programs which cost over $100,
  including optional optical character recognition capability.
  Outputs are at much higher definition than those generated by
  dedicated fax machines, with near-laser-printer quality.

  Includes four different installations which supports Microsoft
  Windows 95, Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and Windows NT.

  By attaching itself to the Windows environment, FaxMail becomes a
  part of the graphical user interface. It appends itself to all
  system menus, making it available in all Windows applications. It
  operates in foreground or background, including background
  operation behind DOS programs. Included in the program is a feature
  named "FaxBook," which allows users to create an unlimited number
  of quickly accessible name and phone number lists up to 1,000
  entries per book. Files from most data bases can be imported
  directly to FaxBooks.

  The developers of FaxMail provides product support for their
programs, through
  phone, Internet access and their tech support bulletin board.


You've used your modem to surf the net but have you ever used it to
send/receive faxes using FaxMail for Windows?  FaxMail for Windows
allows
your computer to send a fax to anyone in the world as easily as you
can
print in Windows.  FaxMail for Windows has combined all of the common
features found in most fax programs along with some more advanced
features.
One of these features is a system that remembers all of the
information
used in sending your last fax even if you turn your computer off/on.
When
you want to send another fax you do not have to re-type all of the
information.  All you have to do is change the information that is
different for this fax.

If you can print, you can fax.  All the Fax Machines in the world are
your
printers with FaxMail for Windows.

Description: FaxMail includes a choice of four different installations
which support Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 3.1, Windows for

Hi Victor,

"all-you-can-eat pizza" is really a persuasive argument.

Molscript and Raster3D are running on my Linux box;
I have used the f2c/gcc combination and observed similar problems
with system.f (versions for different OSs tried ...).
Finally I commented out all unused routines in system.f and modified
the .c file (exit_ replaced by exit), if I recall the details correctly.

Hope this helps,
Joachim.

About 5 years ago I wrote quite a lot in True Basic. I translated a mainframe 
Basic program for identifying new restriction enzyme recognition sequences 
from mapped sites onto a PC. It is easy to compile it as a stand alone 
application. Works on a 8086 to Pentium. It was the only Basic I could find that 
would allow string lengths of >50,000 'cos I needed to import the whole lambda 
sequence in one go. I still use the program regularly as restriction enzymes are 
my business  it may be Basic but it is more than fast enough on a 66Mhz 486. As 
to whether you can import scanned images I do not know. The current version I 
think is 3.0 and sells for around 60 UK pounds. 

For image import you may be better to look at Visual Basic for running under 
Windows. There are umpteen add ons and I'm sure someone has one for images.

Regards

Duncan

MacX1.5 works fine on PCI Power Macs.  MacX1.2 runs fine on non-PCI
Power Macs (in emulation mode).  I learned recently that there is a
very simple patch to MacX1.2 (requires ResEdit) that corrects a
configuration bug that will allow MacX1.2 to run on a PCI PowerMac.
(I will try to find the reference to this fix.)

I have been very happy with MacX1.2, and now MacX1.5, on my PowerMac.

Hi
I have to use a program which requires another program called ISICAD (or 
EASYCAD - I don´t know). This program uses or creates files with the extension 
..exf
Can anybody tell me what kind of program this is and whether it is a public

First of all, a big thank you to all of you who replied to my previous post on 
this subject (I now have too many responses to answer individually).

As I have been asked by several people to summarize the problem and the answers 
to it, here it goes:

1) The problem.  Molscript uses an all-purpose library of FORTRAN routines that 
has to be compiled before the main program.  A system-specific source file, 
system.f, defines some of these.  All of the versions contain a few things that 
Linux and/or g77 don't support: (i) the EQUIVALENCE statement is not recognized 
by g77, but does work with f2c; (ii) system.f calls two procedures that are 
missing in the Linux libraries, etime (elapsed time) and rand (random number 
generator).  Problem (i) shows up at compile time, problem (ii) when linking 
the forlib.a library.  It seems that in some versions of Linux (not 1.2.13, 
which I use), the exit procedure also has some problems, which could be 
potentially more serious (no clean program abort on erroneous input).

2) The solutions.  The simplest solution, which I actually managed to figure 
out for myself, is to use f2c to convert system.f, and to comment out the 
SYTIME and SYRAND subroutines from the source code (they are not used by 
Molscript anyway).  They can also be, more elegantly, turned into dummy 
subroutines that generate fixed values.  The most elegant answer I received was 
from Joe Smith at Penn, who provided my with a shar file to patch the source 
code. Here it is:


---------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are a couple of functions used in Per's utility library (not
molscript itself - except exit()), which are missing from the f2c
libraries.  Unshar the stuff at the end of this message in the
molscript 'forlib' directory, run 'patch <makefile.sun.diff' and
'make'.  Something like this:

  $ cd molscript/forlib
  $ sh <shar.from.joe
  $ patch <makefile.sun.diff
  $ make

Linux!

New and updated programs in BCM Gene-Finder service: 
==========================================================================
NEW: FEXY  and YSPL  Recognition of Yeast coding regions    
==========================================================================
	These 2 new programs were developed for analysis of Yeast sequences:
the programs are similar with Gene-finder programs for analysis of Human or 
Mammalian, Drosophila, Plant and Nematode sequences.   You can receive instructions 
about sequence format from WWW page
=================================================================================
 The other Gene-Finder programs were updated to predict single exon genes as well as 
 						exon-intron structure of multiexon genes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FEXY    - prediction of yeast 5'-, internal and 3'- potential exons

YSPL   - prediction of splice sites in yeast sequences

	Analysis of uncharacterized  sequences and help files are available 
through WWW: http://dot.imgen.bcm.tmc.edu:9331/gene-finder/gf.html

and by EMAIL server of Weizmann Institute of Science

Examples: mail -s fexy services@bioinformatics.weizmann.ac.il < test.seq
					where test.seq a file with the sequence.


(Soon analysis will be available from University of Houston also: 
						mail -s fexy  service@bchs.uh.edu < test.seq).

I have it up and running on a FreeBSD UNIX box by using the latest
version of g77.  After talk with Kraulis, there are some routines
that you can comment out which will compile molscript on a generic
unix machine.  You can email me on what lines I modified on my system.f
to get it working.  But for those of you who run FreeBSD, I'll support
that platform (for a while...) if you need to get molscript compiled
there.  I may have a "generic" system.f since it also seemed to work
on HP-UX 9.01 with g77.

The purpose of the ISMB conference is to disseminate the latest
developments in computational molecular biology and biophysics and to
stimulate new work on the application of intelligent computational
systems to problems in molecular biology. ISMB is a multidisciplinary
conference bringing together scientists from computer science,
mathematics, statistics, and molecular biology.  Its scope extends to
any computational method or system supporting a biological task that
is algorithmically, cognitively, or conceptually challenging, involves
a synthesis of heterogeneous information, or exhibits the emergent
properties of an "intelligent system." From a computational
perspective, areas of interest include adaptive systems, intelligent
experimental control, data modeling, machine learning, artificial
intelligence, combinatorics, stochastic optimization, string and graph
algorithms, linguistic methods, and parallel computer
technologies. Biological areas of interest include molecular
structure, genomics, molecular sequence analysis, evolution and
phylogenetics, adaptive experimental systems, and molecular
biology. Emphasis is placed on the validation of methods using real
data sets and on practical application in the biological sciences.

The ISMB conference has attracted a large and enthusiastic audience
comprising scientists involved in application areas such as artificial
intelligence, structural biology, DNA, RNA and protein sequence
analysis and structure prediction, genome mapping, gene
identification, molecular biology data and knowledge bases, and the
modeling of biochemical processes. We are continuing the tradition of
soliciting original papers, which will be rigorously refereed and
published (by AAAI Press and the MIT Press) in proceedings available
at the conference. The conference proceedings are indexed in the
Medline database. The previous ISMB meetings were

  1993: National Library of Medicine, USA
  1994: Stanford University, USA
  1995: Cambridge University, UK

The four-day conference will feature introductory and advanced
tutorials on June 12th and presentations of original refereed papers,
posters, and invited talks (June 13-15).

There will be special sessions at the conference on "Whole Genomes:
Challenges and Implications," and on the "Interconnection of Molecular
Biology Databases (MIMBD)." A test suite of raw data will be set aside
to evaluate base-calling and gene-finding programs. A job fair and a
vendor fair are also being organized.

subroutines and MOLSCRIPT could be ported to Linux box using
f77(f2c) compiler (1994).

As Osvaldo says, the Windows programs are *much* easier.  I use Harvard Graphics
for Windows 3.0 (and I go back to version 2 of the DOS.  However, since you don't 
own it, I think I'd recommend Harvard Graph (a new program which is specifically 
oriented to graphs, and is cheaper.  It will seem somewhat familiar to you, since 
it comes from the same software house, and I'm sure it will import any/all old 
files you may have from HG/DOS.  However, Freelance has been upgraded recently 
and is getting some very good reviews in the computer rags.
HG/DOS.

Sorry to any who have seen this before. Our server was down for 1
hour (translation 2 days) and I receive bionet as mail lists.

Quick question:

Is there some user friendly programs to calculate results for
radioactive microspheres. Freeware, shareware particularly favored.

Thanks in advance.

Your problem could be with the functions RAN (random number
generator) and exit, if I remember correctly. I wrote this
subroutines and MOLSCRIPT could be ported to Linux box using
f77(f2c) compiler (1994).

	I use Central Service Yellow Page for looking up company phone numbers
on line. They are at http://www.telephonebook.com/yp-name.html. I beleive 
they also have links to other country phone books. Has any else found on-line
phone books ? I like the on-line one becuase they are more up to date 
then cd phone books.
