I have a Oper. Research and Comp. Science background, so I would like to basically understand the practical issues that should be considered when modeling an HTS environment for scheduling purposes. For example a basic question I have is do all the compounds in say a 96-well assay go through the same sequence of test ? or can they have independent testing schedules instead of being stuck together by virtue of being in the same assay. Also, is the formation of an assay a factor that can be manipulated in order to get the most throughput (via intelligent scheduling) or is the assay formation pretty much done without consideration to scheduling concerns. Also it would help a lot if someone pointed me to where I can understand all the strange terms like ELISA ? etc. which I keep encountering without developing some kind of inkling as to what they mean. Finally can anyone tell about what kind of scheduling software is currently available and its strong points, limits etc. vis-a-vis static and dynamic scheduling in HTS. Thanks in advance.

Fifth Annual HUMAN GENOME PROJECT: Commercial Implications February 9-11, 1998 Corporate Support Provided by: PE Applied Biosystems As the Human Genome Project gears up into the sequencing phase, the expectations for translating such data into valuable information increase. While automated gel-based sequencing remains the workhorse of this effort, newer approaches have moved much closer to becoming practical. Much greater emphasis is also being placed on software for analyzing sequences and the creation of gene expression libraries and databases. Such databases, in combination with analysis of gene function, will play a key role in the identification of novel targets for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. The third day of this meeting will again feature case studies of genomic data-based drug development efforts. This meeting has become established as a key forum for academic and commercial researchers to discuss and find out about the latest technology and applied developments in the genomics field.

The sheer volume of genetic sequence is going to require a paradigm shift from laborious determination of function for one gene at a time to high-throughput approaches that can automatically assist in such efforts, via homolgy and cross-species comparisons. The use of libraries of mutants or knockouts also represents a key approach toward faster analysis. Efforts to determine function of gene sequences and relate them to genetic pathways and roles in disease will be key for exploiting genetic information for medicinal purposes.

Prior to the opening of the technical meeting there will be a tutorial workshop, offered in Japanese, for review of technical terms and concepts that will be covered during the meeting. There will also be a series of Corporate Partnering Presentations, to which leading decision makers from Asian pharmaceutical companies will be invited. The technical program will first focus on develop-ments in the design and synthesis of small molecule combinatorial libraries for lead identification and lead optimization. Advances in high throughput screening, including automation, novel assays, data handling, and interpretation, as well as integration of these issues, will then be featured. Thirty exhibitors participated in the trade exhibit last year, and more are expected to take advantage of this unique opportunity to be in touch with key researchers and managers attending this meeting. Interest and application of these two key technologies are expected to follow a similar pattern of rapid growth as is being experienced elsewhere throughout the world.

The tool is accurate, inexpensive, as well as easy to use and modify. The template is a collection of mathematical models organised in different worksheets. The models implemented are those corresponding to mono- or pseudo-monosubstrate reactions and the most common bisubstrate reactions: Michaelis-Menten, Double Michaelis-Menten, Hill model, Substrate Inhibition, the linear cases of reversible inhibition (Competitive, Incompetitive, Non-Competitive and Mixed Competitive-Incompetitive inhibition) and Ping-Pong, Ordered and Random bisubstrate mechanisms. Also, a weighted linear model has been implemented. The resulting files are Apple/PC compatible and can produce publication-quality graphs if necessary. Computer requirements: Apple MacIntosh or IBM-compatible running EXCEL version 5.0 or later, and 'Solver' Add-In installed in the EXCEL program. Availability: The template can be downloaded by anonymous ftp on: ftp://ftp.cc.kuleuven.ac.be/pub/science/anemona.xlt Also, it will shortly be accesible from: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/biocat/biocat.html Reference: Hernandez, A. & Ruiz, M.T.

I agree. I adopted Prism for my research lab as well as my Biochem teaching lab. The primary features I can't do without are the ability to collect all data and graphs in a single project file, and the fact that all analyses, curvefits, etc, are recalculated automatically after one makes any change in the original data OR in the curvefitting parameters. Grad and undergrad students remark how easy & powerful it is. It does not have as much flexibility as some other programs in non-linear curvefitting and weighting, but it's excellent as an all-around analytical tool. o---------------------------------------------------------------------o | Dr. Peter Gegenheimer | Vox: 785-864-3939 FAX: 785-864-5321 | | Departments of Biochemistry | PGegen@UKans.edu | | and of Botany | http://RNAworld.Bio.UKans.edu/ | | | | | University of Kansas | | | 2045 Haworth Hall | "The sleep of reason produces | | Lawrence KS 66045-2106 | monsters."

Not so embarrassing, but somewhat similar, is the fact that I named my computer program DYNAFIT (Anal. Biochem. vol. 273, pp. 260-273) after a brand of... ski-boots. ;-) I am getting email from people seeking the thrill of having their bones broken on a black-diamond slope, not necessarily the more sedate thrill of eyballing a perfect match between kinetic data and the underlying system of differential equations. > Oh yes, "PowerBLAST" is also a chemical sprayer, something or other from > Marvel comics, and an online service - or maybe two.

Naturally he wanted a copy, and I didn't remember the URL to download it from, so I punched "powerblast" into AltaVista, whereupon we both discovered that not only is PowerBLAST a tool from the NCBI, it is also the name of a sex toy. Even the brief descriptions that were listed in the AltaVista results page contained enough lurid detail to make for an awkward moment. Thankfully this PI was not of the opposite gender. I guess from now on I'll have to qualify my AltaVista searches with AND !sex or some such thing.

FileMakerPro. (www.claris.com) If you save the refs as tab-separated text, you import them in FMPro (runs on PC under Windows and on Mac; databases are fully interchangeable) and Version 4 (just released) can do dynamic web publishing. You can have the query on a web form and thus search the database. This will keep you platform-independent, fast and networked at the same time. FMPro can be fully programmed (using popup programming commands) and is fully scriptable on a mac (ie. you can have ANY other program capable of scripting (most of them) instruct to do a query by Apple Script commands) An FMPro user list can help you get going and, if necessary, give you a quick tip to continue going, should you get stuck. An example query database form can be found on the net, where a 500.000 record database containing CD-album titles can be queried on-line for a title word or word from the artist's name; a result often pops up within 5 seconds. ard From owner-software@net.bio.net Thu Oct 09 23:00:00 1997 Path: biosci!fcs280s.ncifcrf.gov!cpk-news-feed4.bbnplanet.com!cpk-news-feed1.bbnplanet.com!cpk-news-hub1.bbnplanet.com!news.bbnplanet.com!news-peer.sprintlink.net!news.sprintlink.net!Sprint!uunet!in4.uu.net!munnari.OZ.AU!bunyip.cc.uq.edu.au!newshost.gu.edu.au!usenet From: Conor McCarthy Newsgroups: bionet.software Subject: Chromas 1.43 Date: Thu, 09 Oct 1997 23:02:56 +1000 Organization: Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia Lines: 23 Message-ID: <343CD600.2C85@nospam.see.below> NNTP-Posting-Host: cornea.sci.gu.edu.au Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.02 (Macintosh; I; 68K) Hi, Chromas is a free chromatogram viewer and basecall editor for ABI and SCF chromatogram files.

The only thing you have to contact me about is if you want to incorporate the program or it's source into another program or package that you will sell for profit. It's not a database scanner (yet - next order of business), but it will do Megabase sequences quite handily. Nuff said. If you're interested, read how to get it at: http://hornet.bio.uci.edu/~hjm/projects/tacg/tacg2.main.html If you decide to use it, you might be interested in subscribing to the (probably low-flow) tacg listserv to be notified of bugs found and squashed, new features, suggestions, etc. The page above tells how. --- There's an HTML-ized man page at: http://hornet.bio.uci.edu/~hjm/projects/tacg/tacg2.man.html --- The original WWW interface is at: http://hornet.bio.uci.edu/~hjm/projects/tacg/tacg.form.html --- and the mockup of the new one is at: http://hornet.bio.uci.edu/~hjm/projects/tacg/tacg2.form.html The original WWW form interface to tacg should be running soon with the new version of tacg underneath, for more robustness and some more features. I'll post when it's set to go. New WWW forms that take advantage of most of V2's features will come online as time allows and interest demand, with one form dealing with restriction enzyme analysis, another dealing with pattern and proximity matching. Also, postscript conversion and in-line compression of returned results are in the works for the new interfaces.

It can be used for 2 purposes: 1) When you want to have a crude estimation of how bad all the alignments in a huge scale sequence alignemnt. By running it to all the alignements and getting the average of the index, it is possible to have a rough estimation on the quality of alignment. 2) When any sequence alignment is too difficult to tell. Either because you are not an expert or the sequence similarity you expect is very very low.

In general I am quite satisfied as it runs most of my Mac software quite nicely (including DNA Strider). I do have some problems with other programs, MacPlasmap, for instance :-( But other than that it is a great piece of software. You may check it out at "www.ardi.com" . There is a fully workable demo allowing you to run it for 10 minutes everytime, so you can check whether it's worth to spend the money (it is, IMHO - no affiliation ...) Cheers, Klaus Samuel P.
