If your address information has changed since you listed yourself, please send us an updated form. Sincerely, Dave Kristofferson BIOSCI/bionet Manager biosci-help@net.bio.net **** SEARCHING BIOSCI ARCHIVES WITH WAISMAIL **** E-mail users can search the BIOSCI archives by using our waismail e-mail server. For instructions send the message help to waismail@net.bio.net. Leave the Subject: line blank. Other methods of searching the archives via WAIS and gopher are described in the BIOSCI FAQ. **** BIOSCI FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) SHEET **** New users of BIOSCI/bionet may want to read the "Frequently Asked Questions" or "FAQ" sheet for BIOSCI. The FAQ provides details on how to participate in these forums and is available for anonymous FTP from net.bio.net [134.172.2.69] in pub/BIOSCI/doc/biosci.FAQ or for retrieval by gopher to net.bio.net, port 70. It may also be requested by sending e-mail to biosci-help@net.bio.net (use plain English for your request). The FAQ is also posted on the first of each month to the newsgroup BIONEWS/bionet.announce immediately following the posting of the BIOSCI information sheet. **** BIOSCI USER ADDRESS DIRECTORY **** Please take this opportunity to add your name and address information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so. Below is the address form that we would like each reader of the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups to complete and return if you would like to be listed in our database. The database serves as a directory that enables biologists, who are currently using (or even just reading) the BIOSCI newsgroups, to look up e-mail addresses and other information about our users. The address database is reindexed nightly for WAIS and waismail access (waismail is our WAIS e-mail server, more below) and will also be available for access via other gopher sites if they wish to permit it. The raw unindexed data is available for FTP from net.bio.net and is atomized sufficiently to allow import into your local RDBMS should you so desire. Please carefully follow the instructions for completing the form below and return it to either of the following two addresses (whichever is more convenient for you). Thanks in advance for taking the time to complete and return the form. Addresses for returning forms Location Network ----------------------------- -------- ------- biovote@net.bio.net U.S.A.

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.

The lottery program was scheduled to continue on a permanent basis. However, recently, Senator Alan J Simpson introduced a bill into the U. S. Congress which could end any future lotteries. THE 1994 LOTTERY IS SCHEDULED TO TAKE PLACE SOON, BUT IT MAY BE THE VERY LAST ONE. PERSONS BORN IN MOST COUNTRIES QUALIFY, MANY FOR FIRST TIME. The only countries NOT qualifying are: Mexico; India; P.R. China; Taiwan, Philippines, North Korea, Canada, United Kingdom (except Northern Ireland), Jamaica, Domican Republic, El Salvador and Vietnam. Lottery registration will take place soon. 55,000 Green Cards will be given to those who register correctly. NO JOB IS REQUIRED. THERE IS A STRICT JUNE DEADLINE. THE TIME TO START IS NOW!!

That is to say, they were very hairy and extremely aggressive, very MALE. We wondered if it were in ANY way possible to get an set of chromosomes that were XYY, or how genetically this could happen.

Thanks in > advance to anyone who answers! > > Geoff Camp About 1 male in 1000 has an extra Y chromosome This arises during the develpment of the sperm (second meiotic division) so that a sperm with two Y chromosomes is produced. The vast majority of cases appear quite normal, although the men are taller than average. There has been considerable controversy over the possible behavioral manifestations, but again the majority of XYY males function quite normally in society. A "Y only" embryo will not survive, since there are many essential genes on the X-chromosome that are not found on the (much smaller) Y. Roger C.
