Dear Fellow Netters,

I am wondering if someone out there has made a software program that will 
approximate chart recording.  That is, if I have a periodic behavior that
I am testing, and I want to be able to record not only units activity/time,
but also the durations between activities, is there a program I can use
to do it? Ideally I'd want to be able to use a footpedal but a mouse would
also do for input, and output would be best written to a file for analysis.
I'd like to use one of our outdated IBM's for this, but a Mac program would
also do.  (I could write the program myself, but surely someone else out   
there has already done so, and it saves me the time of figuring out how to
read footpedal as input and parameters for writing out the files, etc.)

Thanks much in advance,

Peter Barrett

Hi everyone,

We are doing some genetics experiments that requirs counting colonies on 100s 
of plates each time. We have the facility for capturing images of these plates 

and storing them digitally. I am wondering if there are any software 
commercial/ shareware/ freeware that will count the colonies from these 
images? 

Any pointers will be greatly appreciated

Thanx very much

weekly searches of newly released titles using your personal search
strategy. 

Check out the following Web page:  http://www.carl.org/reveal/index.html  

Here is a short description from their Web Page:

"UnCover Reveal is an automated alerting service that delivers the table
of contents of your favorite periodicals
directly to your e-mail box. The Reveal service also allows users to
create search strategies for their favorite topics.
These search strategies are then run against the entire UnCover database
and weekly alerts on the latest articles
published on the specified topics are also delivered to the user's e-mail
address. In both cases, after viewing the
e-mailed alerts, the user can selectively order and pay for individual

	You can access human genomic sequences via NCBI at:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/

	Just enter your search sequence and choose "gss" as the database to
search.  Alternatively, if you want to search for a specific gene or
chromosomal location, hit the NCBI logo at the top to go to their home
page, and there will be other search options for genbank.

	Hope this is of some help to you.

biology background, my professor suggests me to learn some bioinformation 
knowledge on the internet. However he doesn't know much about molecular 
biology and have no idea to advise me. Due to limitation of the facility 
here, I didn't have any other way to learn it. Anyone who knows if 
there is any kind of review about this field and how to use free software 
to analys the DNA sequence and translate it into protein, please give me 
a hand. My e-mail address is zhong@uncm.edu. 

Thanks very much

I'm looking for a way to download large numbers of genbank format
sequence files. By large numbers, I mean thousands. Does anybody know
of any programs available to do the transfer preferably by ftp? I know
about the online batch retrieve offered by NCBI but I'm looking for a
program I can automate. Please send replies to:

Users should note that the 'gss' database is a subset of GenBank which
probably does not includes the types of sequences you are looking for.
(text from gbrel.txt when GSS was introduced attached below).  Note
that the gss division is not really (yet) that much comprehensive (only
a few thousand records).  If you want to find something, maybe better
to use the nr database.

And a protein search (protein/protein:blastp or
nucleotide_translation/protein:blastx) is always more sensitive than a
nucleotide/nucleotide:blastn search (specially if you are looking for
similarities across species)

cheers,

f.

Andrew,

Regretfully, you can't do it. GDE relies on the xview libraries which are
SUNOS specific and are not available for other platforms (as far as I
know).

Hi,

Chromas is a Windows application which displays and prints chromatogram 
files from ABI automated DNA sequencers, and Staden SCF files which the 
analysis programs for ALF and Li-Cor sequencers can create. Chromas 
allows basecall editing and exporting of the sequence to a file or the 
clipboard. The following features are new in v1.2:

* Chromatograms can be saved in Staden SCF format. 
* The sequence can be exported in FASTA format. 
* There is an option to automatically select the next base in the
  sequence after a base is changed. 
* You can scroll through the sequence using the arrow keys.

Chromas can be downloaded from:

http://trishul.sci.gu.edu.au/~conor/chromas.html

Cheers,

Conor

Well, you can get the Xview code, whether or not you can make it work is 
another question.  If you have not done it yet and you have GCG, I wouldn't
bother, as GDE is being merged with the WPI in the next GCG release.
Since that does run on Alphas (either Unix or OpenVMS), your problem would
be solved.  The reference for that is, hmm...., here:

What do you mean convert it to ASCII?  tar archives may contain
several files, and the contents of those files could be anything;
text, binary data, etc etc.

If you mean converting UNIX text documents into DOS text documents, I
have written a small utility to do that (UNIX2DOS.COM, if you want a
copy send me a mail).  I also have a copy of GNU tar for Windows NT
(which should run happily under Windows 95, although I haven't tested
it).

Version 2.0 of the BCM Search Launcher Batch Client provides automatic
retrieval of FASTA formatted sequence files from lists of sequence IDs. 
The sequence file corresponding to each sequence ID is retrieved from
the NCBI's Entrez server, reformatted using Don Gilbert's Readseq and
stored automatically in a fasta formatted file in the user's directory.
These files are then available for further sequence analysis.

The BCM Search Launcher Batch Client is a command line interface to Web
based sequence analysis tools.  Follow the link "A Batch Client..." on
the home page below.

In reference to the other reply to this posting, Entrez is no longer
published on CDRom.

You could just ftp the entire database (assuming you have enough
storage) from ncbi.nlm.nih.gov using anaonymous ftp. Resides in /genbank
as a series of compressed files.

Well, thats not really true - GDE runs also on SGIs, linux and
DECstations, but you need indeed a port of the xview libs.
(Sorry - I have no idea if they have been ported to DEC/OSF1)

	Hi Benny, glad to hear you...
	
	Just one correction: xview source code is available and has been ported
to a number of platforms. You can run SUN's open-windows on those and hence
you hsould be able to run GDE too. Among them and notably, are ultrix, Linux
and *BSD.

	Note that I haven't had time to try to compile GDE on one of those, but
in theory it should work.

	My last knowledge though was that GDE's GUI didn't run in DEC/Unix...

I submitted (many years ago) a DETAR program for MS-DOS to the EMBL
software archives. It had the advantage that it also corrected CR/LF
on the fly.

Dunno if it will still be around, but if it is, it should be in
ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/software/dos

I don't have any old copy around any longer (broke free from M$-world
long ago, and happy I am, man).

I have a rather large dataset of Lat/Long positions from northern Europe
and from south America. I would like to convert these data to UTM
cordinates and vice versa. Do any of you have knowledge about a package or
a program string doing the job. As far as I know, it is a bit difficult
because of some special settings for longitudes east of a certain number
and a special setting for south of the equator. I have searched the net
for shareware/freeware programs doing the job without finding any (Mac
programs would be preferable). I think that Mathematica would be a good
platform for a package of that kind and there MUST be quite a lot of
people working with positions either in Lat/long or UTM that would like to
do conversions between the two systems

I hope some of you can help me

Hi.  Biosource is an employer paid fee service and the oldest 
recruitment
firm in the biotech industry.  We currently have a client in the SF
Bay area (on the Peninsula) that is a biotech firm.  They would like to 
hire
a fairly senior person with excellent project management skills to lead
their MIS group.  This will get into some pretty interesting work
in databases for biotech based drug development, managing outside
programming contractors, as well as in house database and network needs,
bioniformatics,etc. Experience with biology would be nice but not 
required.  Please feel free to refer anyone who may be interested.  
Thank you for any attention
you choose to give to this matter.

Bonjour

I know there are a lot of mail on plasmid software. But may be someone can
help me.

We studied different softwares (windows: Clone manager, Winplas, Plasmid 
Toolkit, Vector NTI).   Few of them allow features like inserting a at a certain 
base number (not only at a enzyme site), keeping historical version of the 
construction etc. If fact only one of them allows such fonctionnalities but it 
is to much expensive. Beeing so expansive, we told ourself: we will install 
install a network version of the software and have a possibitity to have 
different database files for differents users (which the selected software will 
not do). But the software does not allow this.  

If this is not a possibily, then we need a software less expansive that does the 
work so that each researcher can have there own copy. But from the ones we have 
been studying nothing satisfied us.

Anyone have something approching the ideal software?

		   fastx3(_t)

It also provides several improvements in the machine-parseable format
and now allows alignment to be shown without any sequence context (-W 0).

fasta20u62.shar.Z fixes the reverse complement fastx problem.

The DOS/Win95/WinNT versions have also been updated to fix the fastx
reverse-complement problem (dos/fa20u632.exe, dos/fa20u616.exe).

Winzip (shareware) will do it, Stuffit Expander for Windows will do most
everything (but not detar, nor uncompress, strangely, tho the Mac version
will), and tho it won't do nuthin but zip, the new pkzip for Windows is
very nice (no, I didn't say anything nice about Windows per se)

Use www.shareware.com to get the closest copies

IUBio Archive is an archive of biology data and software.  The
archive includes items to browse, search and fetch public
software, molecular data, biology news and documents. It is a
public archive that you will find at the Internet address
iubio.bio.indiana.edu.  This archive, maintained at Indiana
University Biology department since 1989, has moved recently from
one computer to another.

Access to the archive is via HTTP (world wide web), Internet Gopher, 
anonymous FTP (file transfer) and e-mail programs that connect to 
computers on the Internet. 

    ftp:, gopher:, http://iubio.bio.indiana.edu/
    mailto: gopher@iubio.bio.indiana.edu
    
Molecular biology is the area of concentration, and it is also a
home for Drosophila research data.  The archive maintains
software for all computer systems important to biology. 

Public software categories served here include
  biology, chemistry, science, utilities, 
  molecular biology sections including 
    alignment, codon, autoseq, browsing, consensus, evolve, 
    pattern, primer, restrict-enzymes, rna-fold, search, 
    ibmpc, mac, mswin, unix, vax

Search services include
  GenBank nucleic databank (WAIS query of full release and weekly updates)
  Swiss-Prot and PIR protein databanks
  Bionet news (full, searchable archive since Dec 1990)
  SRS (Sequence Retrieval System) - including Genbank, protein and others
     for both simple and sophisticated text/annotation queries of databanks
  SRS-FastA - for sequence similarity searches against any user-defined
    subset of Genbank & protein data, including subsets for popular species
      Arabidopsis, Caenorhabditis, Drosophila, Oryza, Poaeceae, Rattus,
      Murinae, and Saccharomyces 
  
This is a user- and developer- supported archive.  Authors of software
are invited to send their work to the Incoming folder by FTP.
  
E-mail access -- for most IUBio services, including software, Genbank,
Swiss-protein, FlyBase and other databank searches, Bionet news
searches, and software archives, send a mail message to
    gopher@iubio.bio.indiana.edu


FlyBase, a Drosophila Genome Database service is accessible now
separately at

    ftp:, gopher:, http://flybase.bio.indiana.edu/
    mailto: gopher@flybase.bio.indiana.edu

IUBio Archive and FlyBase have move from computer "fly" to
"magpie/firefly" recently. Those of you who may be reaching here
via "fly.bio.indiana.edu" should update your network links to the
name iubio or flybase. For those who need to know the IP address
of these sevices, they are
    
    129.79.225.200  iubio.bio.indiana.edu    (magpie)
    129.79.225.202  flybase.bio.indiana.edu  (firefly)
    
These IP addresses and computer names can and do change, but
the service name (iubio or flybase) will be maintained.
 

I am very pleased to acknowledge the many people and organizations
that have helped support IUBio archive.  Much of the current hardware
is made available by co-operation with FlyBase,  supported
by a grant from the US National Institutes of Health.   Current
and past equipment support has come from Indiana University,
National Science Foundation, and many of you who use the archive.

                 *************************
                        CLEANUP v 1.8
                 *************************
DESCRIPTION:

CLEANUP 1.8 using an algorithm based on an "approximate string
matching"  procedure is  able  to  determine  the  overall  degree of
similarity between each pair of  sequences contained in a  nucleotide sequence
database  and  to  generate  automatically   nucleotide  sequence  collections
purified from redundancies.

A key concept in  comparing sequence collections  is  the issue of redundancy.
The production of sequence collections cleaned from  redundancy is undoubtedly 
very useful both in performing statistical analyses and accelerating extensive
database  searchings  on  nucleotide  sequences.   Indeed,  publicly available 
databases contain multiple entries of identical or almost identical sequences.
Performing  statistical  analysis  on  such  biased  data  makes  the  risk of 
assigning high significance to non significant patterns very high. In order to
carry out  unbiased statistical analysis  as well as  more  efficient database
searchings  it is  thus  necessary to  analyse  sequence  data  purified  from
redundancy. Given that a unambiguous definition of redundancy is impracticable
for biological sequence data, in CLEANUP a quantitative description
of  redundancy  is used based on the  measure of  sequence similarity.  A 
sequence  is  considered  redundant  if  it  shows a  degree of similarity and 
overlapping with a  longer sequence in the database  greater  than a threshold
fixed by the user.

CLEANUP 1.8 program implements a new algorithm based on an "approximate string
matching"  procedure,  which  is  able  to  determine  the  overall  degree of
similarity between each pair of  sequences contained in a  nucleotide sequence
database  and  to  generate  automatically   nucleotide  sequence  collections
purified from redundancies.

CLEANUP 1.8 works both on a GCG environment and on a GCG independent platform.
It has been  compiled and  tested  using DEC Alpha AXP C compiler, Borland C++
4.0    compiler, and, moreover, it is portable over any machine with an ANSI C 
standard compiler.

Obsolete Protein Data Bank (PDB) entries are now available as part of a 
joint initiative between the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) and the 
PDB.  Obsolete entries are those which have been replaced by newer versions
of the same structure or removed completely from the PDB distribution.
These entries are considered important for the following reasons:

1. To relate a structure description found in a paper to the corresponding
   set of coordinates even when a more recent set of coordinates are
   available.
2. For comparative analysis during software development. New software
   can not be compared to existing software, since the coordinate sets
   used to test the original software were not available for use with the
   new software.

It is important that these obsolete entries NOT be confused with 
current entries. Hence they are kept in a separate database accessible
at http://www.sdsc.edu/PDBobsolete. There is a link between the PDB 3DB
database (http://www.pdb.bnl.gov/cgi-bin/pdbmain) and the obsolete
database. 

The obsolete database currently contains 291 structures. Structures may be
located by keywords or PDB ID. Once located structures can be displayed,
coordinates downloaded, and the chronology of an entry examined. Various
statistics on the content of the archive are also available.

The archive was developed by Helge Weissig and Phil Bourne.

I'm looking for a program that can receive multiple mail-accounts (more
than 10). Every account has to be put in a seperate mail box. 
I want to send the incoming email to seperate fax machines.
The mailboxes have to be polled and if there is any mail, it should be sent
to a fax machine. I also need the program to create a logfile of all sent
faxes (with times).

I hope anyone can help me with a name or a www-address.

Thanks in advance,

A. Muggen

We have developed a comprehensive package for the collection and
analysis of behavioral and observational data, called "The Observer".
For a description, see our website http://www.diva.nl/noldus, or go
ditrectly to The Observer's page
(http://www.diva.nl/noldus/prod_obs.htm). It reads keyboard, mouse or
computer pen input. It does not support footpedals as an input device,
but that may be a fairly easy addition.

Don't hesitate to contact me our US office if you have any questions.

I don't have such software but would be interested in writing code to 
perform this function (free). If you can't locate such software anywhere 
else, here's what I need to know:
	1. What is maximum length of sequences?
	2. What format is the input file in (ASCII?)
	3. Assume you are looking for sequences of type:
		ATAGC....CGATA, correct?
	4. What do you expect output to look like?
	5. What platform and operating system are you using?
	   (e.g. PC w/Windows 3.1, Sun/UNIX, etc.)

Good luck!

Announcing Primordial Life 3.1 for Windows 95 and Windows NT

New in Primordial Life 3.1 is the ability to connect your artificial
life world to others over the Internet or intranet.  Instead of "biots"
(artificial life creatures) bouncing off walls, they can go through
walls to other computers.  Those computers, in turn, can connect to
others creating a biot universe virtually unlimited in size.  

In general, Primordial Life evolves artificial life forms both in a
screen saver and window.  Right now, the program focuses on
evolving form and motion.  Future versions will include behavior.

The computing requirements for evolving artificial life can be
staggering.  Now you can join forces with other artificial life
enthusiasts to create larger worlds supporting a larger diversity
of life forms.

Primordial Life 3.1 is shareware.  You can do most everything with
the unregistered version. You can download Primordial Life from

I used to have netscape set up to use Raswin (v2.6) as a viewer for .pdb files (and 
others).  Set up was pretty straightforward.

I installed MS internet explorer and I just can't get the darned thing to work (the 
program opens fine, but I never get any image of the molecule).

Does anyone have any idea how to get this to work?  Anyone already done this?

Thanks in advance.

Dear all,

SRS5 is finally out! ...this time it is the full release and not a
'beta'

you can get it from 

 ftp://ftp.embl-heidelberg.de/pub/databases/trembl/srs5_0.tar.gz

Those are the changes since the last beta (srs5.04b):

o The indexing works now with databanks in native or GCG format. 
o There is now support for sequence features 
o srscheck and srsbuild have been revised and work as in SRS4. This
  includes the -r, -t and -rel options of srsbuild.
o Parsers have been written for many more databanks.
o Documentation is much better (Icarus manual, Guided tour).
o All installation scripts have been rewritten as Bourne shell scripts. 

SRS5 is much more powerful but also more complicated as SRS4. A lot of 
parsers have still to be written, but those that are there can be used 
as templates for 'cut and paste' programming. Adding a new databank
needs
now three files that describe the structure (format, data-fields,
links), 
the syntax and the databank itself (Source, ftp address, contact
address, 
etc). This is described in the "Guided Tour" that comes with the 
distribution. 

We would like to invite you to write Icarus files and post them
to the newsgroup bionet.software.srs to make them available to others. 
We will then put the files into future releases of SRS.

For the installation of the SRSWWW server an Alias and a ScriptAlias are
needed. Following the discussion in this newsgroup about notifying the 
proxies not to cache we use now the ScriptAlias /srs5bin/cgi-bin/.
Please
tell us if that works. 

...more in the release notes

regards and happy installation

-- Yet more quality control software?

QC-Record is a menu-driven program that provides a specialised 
environment for handling all quality control storage needs.  It 
incorporates facilities to store QC data, which can be reviewed in 
graphical form or as pure data, on screen or as hard copy.  Easy to 
set up, but at the same time very configurable, the program offers 
the opportunity for the user to define their own quality control 
rules, although it is supplied as standard with rules based on 
criteria proposed by Westgard and associates (A Multi-Rule Shewart 
Chart for Quality Control in Clinical Chemistry. Clin. Chem 
27,493-500, 1981).  Hardware requirements are low, and it will run as 
a stand-alone package, or across a computer network.


-- What can QC-Record do for me?

The main features of QC-Record are summarised below:

*  Immediate analysis of input data by user-defined rules
*  Will recall, edit, display, summarise and print stored QC results 
*  Calculates mean and SD for any defined period
*  Stores running mean and SD on stored data
*  Stores changes in reagents and/or standards
*  User-definable data ranges
*  User-definable program configuration (colours, printers, etc.)
*  User-definable tests
*  Maintains audit trail of changes to QC database
*  On-line help available 
*  Backup, restore and archive of essential data
*  Password restriction of sensitive data
*  Uses Expanded and extended memory if available
*  Automatically network aware


-- How easy is it to use?

QC-Record has been written by laboratory personnel, for laboratory 
personnel, and is used routinely by all grades of staff in the busy 
Biochemistry department where it was first planned, and where it is 
still being enhanced. It has undergone hundreds of hours of 
development over several years to shape it into an easy to use system 
that gives analysts the information that they require to spot and fix 
quality control problems.


-- Why would I want to use QC-Record instead of other QC packages?

Most other quality control programs are restricted in some way. For example:

* they may only be available if you use certain quality control products
* may be tied to a large product purchase.
* some software is designed by software professionals, not laboratory 
professionals
* some software gives you information overload
* some software buries what you really need in impressive but 
ultimately useless information. 
* much software doesn't allow for perfectly adequate, but slower, computers
* QC software supplied with many laboratory instruments only allows 
analysis of that instrument's data
* doesn't allow off-line data analysis, such from manual analyses or 
other smaller instruments.
* much QC software only checks against QC ranges, ignoring long-term trends
* limited storage capacity for QC in many laboratory systems

 
-- Does QC-Record need a powerful computer?

QC-Record will run on any PC-compatible computer from an 8088 to a 
Pentium Pro, provided that it has one floppy disc and one hard disc, 
640k memory, a mono or colour monitor, and MS-DOS 3.3 or above.  It 
will also run across most Local Area Networks, on widely-available 
network software, such as Novell Netware.
 
The basic program and essential files consume approximately 1 Mb hard 
disc space when first installed. Storage of results is effectively 
limited only by hard disc space. 10,000 results require approximately 
1 Mb data storage. If space is at a premium, older results can be 
archived to another medium, e.g. floppy disc, and can still be 
subsequently retrieved for data analysis.


-- Can I see it working before I decide if it's what I want?

A demonstration disc is available to give a flavour of the look and 
feel of the program. This will normally be sent by post to UK 
enquirers, unless they request it to be sent by email. Enquirers from 
outside the UK will be sent the demo disc as a file attached to 
email, accompanied by instructions on how to decode and use it.
 
A restricted working version will soon be available.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but I read a year or so
ago that a Japanese group had sequenced the entire genome for a small
photobacterium, can't remember what it was called. I was wondering if
any one knew about this and whether there was a publically available
database of the genome itself?

Thanks
Herb

Hi, try this 'unTAR' to DOS - untar103.zip. It works nice.  You can use
it for all kinds of files, 
not only for ASCII.   Unfortunately I forgot the FTP address where I
downloaded this program.
