The source of the blood is me. ALthough I have been tested (and found negative, t.g.), and although the students will handle only fixed material (we'll use the drop method), the campus biosafety committee would be much happier if I could document that the fixing process would kill any nasty HIV or Hepatitis germs. Can anyone give me an appropriate reference, or could some authoritative person offer assurance? BTW, what is the experience of others with 'body fluid' student labs in the '90s?

The best way to get this info is from GDB.

Any information on genes located in this region whether in humans > or bovine would be appreciated. There is comparative mapping data available in a book called Genetic Maps, edited by steve OBrien and published by CSHL Press. I am currently in the process of putting this information on line. The overall comparative map (about 270 loci in 37 species) will be posted to this group in sections. The whole map as one unit will be available as a file for use in spreadsheet programs to allow you to manipulate the data yourself. Access will be by Gopher and FTP. Detailed information about each loci in each species will be eventually listed and searchable by text searching these files. Stay tuned for more info.

Please do NOT extend your responses past the end of each line (80 characters) or alter any of the field identifiers such as "first name: ". Several lines are provided at the end of the form for comments, but, please adhere to the line length restriction. On the date: line, please enter the date in the DD-MM-YY format, e.g., 05-05-93 for 5 May 1993. This line will tell others when the information was last updated. Please be sure to include the 0's for single digit days or months, e.g., 05-05-93, not 5-5-93. Note that the "e-mail network: " line below is for specifying, e.g., "Internet," "BITNET," "EARN," "JANET," or whatever other network that your computer may be on. If you are uncertain about any field, please feel free to leave it blank, but please DO NOT DELETE the field identifier from the form! In the first field below, "New information or Update ...", please enter "N" if this is the first time that you have registered in the directory or "U" if you are correcting a listing that you sent to us previously. The comment: lines may be used for anything that you like but PLEASE DO NOT DELETE THEM FROM THE FORM OR ALTER THEM. One suggested use is to list the names of the newsgroups in which you participate. Please use the MAILING LIST name (see below - the latest version of the list can be requested from biosci@net.bio.net) instead of the USENET name even if you don't participate by e-mail. WAIS might get confused by the periods in the USENET names. This allows one to retrieve via WAIS or waismail the list of participants in a particular group. For example: comment: ARABIDOPSIS PLANT-BIOLOGY BIONEWS On the comment: lines use these names below ---- NOT the USENET names below MAILING LIST NAME USENET Newsgroup Name ----------------- --------------------- ACEDB-SOFT bionet.software.acedb AGEING bionet.molbio.ageing AGROFORESTRY bionet.agroforestry ARABIDOPSIS bionet.genome.arabidopsis BIOFORUM bionet.general BIO-INFORMATION-THEORY bionet.info-theory BIONAUTS bionet.users.addresses BIONEWS bionet.announce BIO-JOURNALS bionet.journals.contents BIO-MATRIX bionet.molbio.bio-matrix BIO-SOFTWARE bionet.software CHROMOSOMES bionet.genome.chromosomes COMPUTATIONAL-BIOLOGY bionet.biology.computational DROSOPHILA bionet.drosophila EMBL-DATABANK bionet.molbio.embldatabank EMPLOYMENT bionet.jobs GDB bionet.molbio.gdb GENBANK-BB bionet.molbio.genbank GENETIC-LINKAGE bionet.molbio.gene-linkage HIV-MOLECULAR-BIOLOGY bionet.molbio.hiv HUMAN-GENOME-PROGRAM bionet.molbio.genome-program IMMUNOLOGY bionet.immunology INFO-GCG bionet.software.gcg JOURNAL-NOTES bionet.journals.note METHODS-AND-REAGENTS bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts MOLECULAR-EVOLUTION bionet.molbio.evolution NEUROSCIENCE bionet.neuroscience N2-FIXATION bionet.biology.n2-fixation PHOTOSYNTHESIS bionet.photosynthesis PLANT-BIOLOGY bionet.plants POPULATION-BIOLOGY bionet.population-bio PROTEIN-ANALYSIS bionet.molbio.proteins PROTEIN-CRYSTALLOGRAPHY bionet.xtallography RAPD bionet.molbio.rapd SCIENCE-RESOURCES bionet.sci-resources TROPICAL-BIOLOGY bionet.biology.tropical VIROLOGY bionet.virology WOMEN-IN-BIOLOGY bionet.women-in-bio YEAST bionet.molbio.yeast Listing newsgroups on the comment: line is optional, of course.

How to Get Updates This guide is updated more-or-less monthly. The most current version is available via Usenet, gopher, FTP and e-mail. Please do not ask the author to send you a copy, nor refer others to the author. - In Usenet, look in sci.bio or sci.answers. - Gopher to sunsite.unc.edu, and choose this sequence of menu items: Sunsite Archives ecology+evolution Or, from any gopher offering other biology gophers by topic, look for the menu item "Ecology and Evolution [at UNC and Yale]". The guide is stored there in two ways: as a file for easy retrieval and as a menu for browsing. - FTP to rtfm.mit.edu. Give the username "anonymous" and your e-mail address as the password. Use the "cd" command to go to the directory pub/usenet/news.answers/biology/ and use "get guide" to copy the file to your computer. The file is actually stored as guide.Z, which is a compressed binary file, but if you specify "guide" it will be uncompressed and translated to readable ASCII before it is transfered to your computer. You can also use anonymous FTP to sunsite.unc.edu, where this guide is stored as pub/academic/biology/ecology+evolution/FAQ. - Send e-mail to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu with the text "send usenet/news.answers/biology/guide". Because the guide is long, you will probably receive it in parts: save each part separately, delete the e-mail headers, and merge them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As for the Human Mitochondrial Genome sequence, there are lots of ways, through Gopher to John's Hopkins or IUBIO, via NCBI retrieve, by using the fetch command from GCG if you have a local copy of the Genbank and/or EMBL databases and GCG's programs installed, to name just a few. In this instance, since I was one of the co-authors on this paper, I'll e-mail you a copy of the sequence separately. As for: >He would also be interested in obtaining information >on or about mutations resulting in respiratory chain defects. Someone else will have to help you there.

This map consists of randomly-chosen simple sequence length polymorphisms (microsatellites) that can be analyzed using the polymerase chain reaction, as described in Dietrich, W., et al., Genetics 131:423-447 (1992). Currently the released map contains 2006 markers. The markers fall into 20 linkage groups spanning approximately 1470 cM with an average spacing of less than 1 cM. This data can be obtained in two different ways. 1. Via anonymous ftp to genome.wi.mit.edu. Log in as "anonymous" and use your e-mail address as password. The release can be found in the directory /distribution/mouse_sslp_release/oct93/. The file "README" describes the file format and gives other information about the map. 2. Via internet e-mail using a database e-mail server. Using this service you can obtain locus and assay names of mapped SSLPs, the forward and reverse primer sequences, the genotypes of the loci on the mapping cross, the sizes of the PCR products on selected standard inbred strains, and other useful information. The database can be queried for markers meeting a number of different criteria. For example, you can ask for markers by name, by chromosome, or by position on the map. You can even request a list of markers that are polymorphic between two mouse strains. To obtain copies of the most current query forms, send a message to "genome_database@genome.wi.mit.edu" with either a subject line or body text of "help". You will receive instructions and a query form by return mail. Just fill out the form, send it to "genome_database@genome.wi.mit.edu", and the answer to your query will be mailed back automatically. This project is an ongoing one. As new markers are added to the map they will be released on a quarterly basis on approximately the following schedule: 1 January 1994 1 April 1994 1 July 1994 1 October 1994 etc. Please address questions and comments to Lincoln Stein at: Lincoln Stein, M.D.,Ph.D. lstein@genome.wi.mit.edu MIT Genome Center (617) 252-1916 Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research (617) 252-1902 FAX 9 Cambridge Center Cambridge, MA 02142 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ert Dredge Thursdays 10:30pm - 12:30am Whitehead Institute's Center for Genome Research WMBR 88.1 FM, Cambridge One Kendall Sq, Cambridge, Bldg 300, 5th floor, 02139 Requests: 253-8810 617-252-1922 (w), 628-2109 (h), 252-1902 (fax) Beauty Canadian tunes, eh? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
