American Institute of Biological Sciences: 1995 Peer Review Panel Recruitment

 AIBS PEER REVIEWS

 The American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) performs scientific
peer review of proposals submitted to various government agencies.  AIBS
peer review activity in 1994 involved the receipt and processing of almost
5,000 proposals.  These proposals were reviewed by over 100 panels
composed of more than 1,000 scientific and technical reviewers.  Below is
a listing of the types of topics for which we have convened panels in 1994
as well what we expect to handle in 1995. 

 ABOUT AIBS

AIBS was established in 1947 by the National Academy of Sciences under
federal charter and became an independent, member-governed nonprofit
(501)(c)(3) organization in 1955.   AIBS currently has 5,000 individual
members and has 45 affiliated societies whose combined membership totals
over 80,000.  AIBS is chartered to:  "further the advancement of the
biological sciences and their application to human welfare, and to foster
and encourage research and education in the biological, medical,
environmental, and agriculture sciences."  For more information about
AIBS, you can check out our gopher (currently under construction) at
gopher.aibs.org or point your browser at: gopher://gopher.aibs.org

 WE NEED YOUR HELP!  

If you were a panelist in 1994 (or previous years) and are willing to
serve again; would like to serve for the first time; or know someone who
is interested in serving on a similar panel, we'd like to know.  Also, if
you know of other people who might be able to serve on any of the panels
listed below, we'd certainly like to know about them too.

Hello,

We have recently and suddenly run into the notorious green smear problem.
It is intense on one side of the scan, and it switches sides when we pour
the gel at the opposite corner of the plate assembly. This behaviour
obviously suggested a residue on the plates that dissolves in the
acrylamide/urea gel mix on the side we pour, and accumulates on the
opposite side. We have not changed our detergent (dissolved alconox), and
are very careful about rinsing the detergent off, but I would not rule that
out as a possibe cause. I understand from ABI tech support that other labs
have encountered the same problem, but possibly for different reasons. We
would appreciate any advice you may have. Thanks,

Vahe Bedian

Its a very slow moving area it
seems, and most of the problems
are technology driven, not biological

I'm a high school teacher with an interest in genetic engineering and I
was asked if anyone has ever, or does genetic engineering with humans and
chimpanzees.  I'd be curious to know also how much work has been done with
the genome of chimpanzees.  Thank you very much.  email me at

I am a librarian at Ohio Wesleyan University, and I have been trying to 
find a table of the number of chromosomes in different species.  Precisely,
I am trying to help a student find how many chromosomes there are in an 
onion.  Does anyone have that information at their fingertips, or can you
direct me to a source that would?  I have tried reference materials, books,
and government publications without success.  Of course, he needs the 
information by tomorrow.  Thank you in advance for any assistance rendered.

Maybe, but with advances in hardware ie the ABi 377, Then quantum leaps
in old chemistries could be made !

      WHITEHEAD INSTITUTE/MIT CENTER FOR GENOME RESEARCH
               HUMAN GENOMIC MAPPING PROJECT 
                 DATA RELEASE 5 (FEBRUARY 1995)


The fifth release of data from the Human Physical Mapping
Project at the Whitehead Institute/MIT Genome Center, covering data
generated through the end of February, 1995, is now available.

This data release contains YAC screening data for 7525 sequence tagged
sites (STSs) screened on the CEPH mega-YAC library.  For each STS, we
report addresses for the YACs found to contain the STS. From the data
obtained so far, there are over 1000 contigs assembled using double
linkage between STSs.

The data is available electronically in two ways.  

ANONYMOUS FTP: The entire data release is available as a set of
Microsoft Excel files and tab-delimited ascii files on our ftp
server.  Using an ftp client (such as "Fetch" on the Macintosh),
connect to "ftp-genome.wi.mit.edu".  Use "anonymous" as your user name,
and give your e-mail address as your password.  The data files are
present in the directory /distribution/human_STS_releases/feb95. 
The contents are as follows:

  02-95.INTRO.mswd.hqx - Description of the data release, Macintosh format.
  02-95.INTRO.txt - The same as ascii text
  02-95.STS.YAC.sea.hqx - STS & YAC screening data, in MS-Excel format.
  02-95.STS.YAC.txt - The same as tab-delimited text.
  02-95.sequence    - Full sequences of previously unpublished STSs.

THE WORLD-WIDE WEB: You will need a World Wide Web client such as
Mosaic (Unix, MS-Windows and Macintosh) or MacWeb (Macintosh). 
Instruct your client to connect to "http://www-genome.wi.mit.edu/". 
>From there, follow the "Human Physical Mapping Project" link.  You will be
able to browse and download the raw data set as well as to view
doubly-linked contigs.

A subset of the STSs (those for which we have chromosomal assignments)
are also available through the Genome Database (GDB).

QUESTIONS AND PROBLEMS.  If users have any questions or problems,
please contact us at human_STS_help@genome.wi.mit.edu We invite
suggestions about how to make these data release most useful.

DATA RELEASE POLICY AND CITATION.  Data releases are scheduled every
90 days.  At the end of each calendar quarter, all genomic mapping
data are reviewed and prepared for distribution via CGR's electronic
databases.  Data releases typically occur within two weeks of the
close of the quarter (i.e., in mid-January, mid-April, mid-July and
mid-October).  Releases are announced by electronic messages posted to
the following two newsgroups: "bionet.genome.chromosomes" and
"bionet.announce".  Because the accelerated pace of mapping (currently
1500-2000 markers/month), we will be releasing interim releases every
30 days.  This is the first such interim release.

CGR's data release policy aims to ensure that scientific colleagues
have immediate access to information that may assist them in the
search for genes. Data releases do not constitute scientific
publication of CGR's work, but rather provide scientists with a
regular look into our lab notebooks.   For projects aimed at the
analysis of particular genes or subchromosomal regions, permission is
hereby granted to use our data without the need for a formal
collaboration, subject only to appropriate acknowledgment.   For
projects aimed at large-scale mapping of entire chromosomes or entire
genomes, use of the data and markers should be on a collaborative
basis.

The information for the human genome mapping project should be cited
as: Whitehead Institute/MIT Center for Genome Research, Human Physical
Mapping Project, Data Release 5 (February 1995).

Dear the netters

        Recently, we determined the chromosomal location of a gene. We
would like to submit the result to the journal, Cytogenet Cell Genet. We
intend to get the instruction for author to submission. However, this
journal is not purchased by our university. Thus, we greatly appreciate if
anybody teach me the address, FAX number of the publisher of the journal.
Sorry for this poor question.

Well, yeah...But isn't it amazing that we are still using the same basic
chemistry as they did years ago?  One would eventually expect something
radically new, a genuine breakthrough, not just incremental advances in
technology.

I am organising a seminar that users of this group may be interested in:

Here goes:

Title: Fluorescent PCR and Single-Cell Analysis 

Date 15th May 1995. One day seminar from 9.30am to 6pm.

Organisers: Ian Findlay, Phil Quirke, Andy Urquhart, Alan Handyside

Venue: 	Weetwood Hall Hotel and Conference Centre, University of Leeds, 
		Otley Road, Leeds, LS16 5PS.
	  
Costs: 	Registration is free for first 100 non-commercial delegates.
	 	Lunch, morning and afternoon refreshments will be provided.
	
Sponsorship: Sponsorship of the Seminar will be provided by Perkin Elmer (Applied Biosystems Division).

Accommodation: 
Accommodation for speakers will be provided within the Conference centre. 
Other delegates should arrange their accommodation separately either with the Conference Centre (Telephone 0113 230 6000) or elsewhere. Details of alternative accommodation can be provided on request.

Provisional programme:

9.30am
	Welcome	
	Introduction to fluorescence GeneScan technology (Dave Watts, Perkin-Elmer)
	Optimisation of key parameters affecting in situ PCR (Steve Picton, Perkin Elmer)
	New developments in DNA fragment analysis (Dave Watts, Perkin Elmer)
	Demonstration of  fluorescent PCR/GeneScan technology (ABI)

	Lunch 12-1.15pm

I am NOT a participant nor do I endorse this kind of scam in ANY way!!

There is a serious question as to how my name became associated into 
this document-  it is being investigated.

To all those who choose to flame ME-  please re-think your target!!

Mr. Haythorn says he didn't do it.  Well maybe not.  But how did his
address show up on the list? Someone responded that this type of posting
is evidence that brothers and sisters shouldn't mate.  But people like
this (Haythorn's name omitted in this posting) and their families have
worked at inbreeding for many generations.  I mean they should feel a real
sense of accomplishment that they have managed to bring the recessive
mutation for idiocy into the homozygous state.

Hi,
Do you know the "Index to plant chromosome numbers"
(published by Missouri Botanical Garden)? 
You can find chromosome number of almost all plants, published,
in each book. Please ask to Missouri Botanical Garden.

I recently setup a 10,000 clone gridded cosmid library in microtiter
plates. I am in the process of setting up a simple database to keep track
of these clones, and would like input on the best approach using a PC
system to do this. I would also like the flexibility of being able to
upload (without too much manipulation) to one of the genome database
systems already available, at some point in the future.  Although
initially the requirements of this system are minimal (ie just keeping
track of clones) the library will eventually be used to develop cosmid
contigs. In addition, the library is being made widely available, in
return for identification of positive clones and karyotype information
from CHEF filters provided with the library. The ultimate aim is to
develop cosmid contigs for the entire genome.  Your comments, tips,
suggestions etc will be greatly appreciated

Hello
I am in high school and yesturday my Bio AP class was lucky enough to goto
the COLD SPRING HARBOR BIOLOGICAL LABORATORIES and conduct an experiment there.
We conducted an experiment much like the one Griffith did bacl about half a
 century aga and we caused E-Coli to accept a plasmid coded with a gene for
Ampacillin resistance. It was great. It was much like his experiments where he
injected bacteria in to live micee, noticing that the s 9smooth) strain killed
them and the R (rough) strain did not. Eventually he discoverd that Dead S and
live R would cause the mouse to die. Form this he was able to hypothesize that
some material was being transformed -later Wastson and Crick found it to be

  DNA. Thus e the first transformat s were noticed and since then they have
aded in Diabetes research and Tumor thepy.

  (SORRY for my spelling but I do not have the funcition of c delete on my

that is all there is!

Hi
I am a high school student and have a genetic disorder called
Epidermolysis Balosa Simplex
I am very interested in Genetics and plan to major in it and was e
wondering if anyone would have any specific information on this disorder.
I would like to the the (sorry about that)- I would like to know that facts
about it like if it is sex-linked or deals with complementarity and epistasis
or what. If it is gene-linked with any others and information like that.
Thanks a lok
Dealing with the phenotype- I look normal but if my skin expreiences alot of
friction or/and heat I develope a large amount of blisters that do not calous
and must be lanced. (Most appear on my feet in the summer but some also on my
hands from writing when it is humid ou)
What would the genyotype be and when (sorry0_ what would my parents genyotyps
need to be for me to have this.
I know that it is very rare.
Thanks for all your help
Brandon

Dear Mr. Coochie,

It IS busted.  It NEEDS fixing.  By this I truly mean no disrespect to
Sanger and the other gods who walk like men.  Dideoxy/PAGE has been very
very good to us.  Its longevity is testimony to its brilliance, it is a
foundation of molecular biology. But even with "automated" sequencers (one
of which I am a grateful owner) it is a labor intensive, messy, time
consuming and very expensive proposition.  For the massive sequencing
projects, ongoing and proposed, costs will be unspeakable without some
simple, wonderful new way of doing it.  Sanger's idea (and Maxam and
Gilbert's for that matter) was published in 1977.  In that year there were
no oligo synthesizers, no PCR, no personal computers and very few
scientists named after blues songs.

Hmmmm...this rings a faint bell from years back.  Something about
statistically analyzing the order in which the unknown fragments bound to
the oligo array???  Someone out there must remember.  What DID become of
this?  

Does anyone know of a review of alternative sequencing theories, or
legitimate speculation on the future?  Interesting subject.

Lawrence,

Yeah, you got the one I was thinking of !

I don't know anymore about it, except that they were working on 8mers in
Cz. and 11mers in USSR.

The amount of computing power needed to work all that out must be
immense !

Take care anyway,

This stuff is still an unproven idea.  A significant concern is how
complex (i.e. how big) a sequence can be analyzed in this manner.
I believe most of the schemes for this can de novo sequence a
fragment of 2 (4?) to the N, where N is the length of the oligo on the array.
So, you'd still need to carve the entire genome into kilobase-sized
chunks, which is one of the major costs for conventional sequencing.

One place where these arrays might be more promising is resequencing 
-- i.e. diagnostics.  One array could test many regions of the genome.
Affymax/Affymetrix (I forget which does what) has built a chip capable
of scanning the human mitochondrial genome in such a fashion.

To find literature, try searching some of the following names

	Fodor
	Pevzner
	Drmanac	


Don't write off gel-based methods yet -- they may well give us the
first sequence of the human genome.  No other method has yet 
generated significant de novo sequence data.

Hi,

Don't know anything about Russian work but Professor Southern (Yes, as in 
blotting) is workin on alternative sequencing strategies here in Oxford. He is 
using immobilised arrays of oligos on a solid support. Sory but I don't know 
much about the exact mechanism of the system. I believe he has just signed a 
deal with ABI to develop the system further though.

Hullo.  I am a sophmore at Gardiner Area High School in Maine, and we have
recently been doing a section on Genetics.
I have been assigned a research project, due sometime this spring, and one
topic that came to mind is the 5 w's (what where why when how) of Junk genes.
Or at least thats what my teacher calls them.  She also said I might find
information under "nonsense genes" or "no sense genes".  On asking another
Biology teacher on the correct terminology for these genes, I got the answer
"anti-codon".  I have searched the world wide web (and soon gopher, but the
servers were busy as usual) for all of these terms, and have not found anything
that looks like what I want.
If anyone can a) tell me the correct term for these genes, b) give me any info
on these genes, and c) send me in the right direction to find information on these
genes, I would be greatly appreciative.
I also have to have an "alternate" means of research, meaning experiments, surveys,
etc.  If any of you can suggest an "alternate" means of research, I would like that.

Matter of fact, in case this idea falls through, I would appreciate any ideas for a
research topic.  

I am sorry if I have posted my problems to the wrong newgroup, I thought this one
seemed appropriate.  So please keep the flames to a minimum.  And thanks in advance
for any help I might get.

 The GAS program has now been updated to Version 1.4, which is available via
anonymous ftp from ftp.well.ox.ac.uk in directory pub/genetics/gas. The main
additions to the previous version are:

General:

 * improved allele binning algorithms in read( alsize... )

 * internal help facility

 * additional inheritance and validity checks for data input

 * `newlocus' command for making transformations and creating new loci

 * barchart display of allele size data

 * additional categories available for select()/delete() commands

 * allele renumbering

 * ability to read pedigree data in `makeped' format

Sib-Pair Tests:

 * Elston-Hageman algorithm (EH) for quantitative loci, both IBD and IBS

 * non-parametric version of EH for IBD and IBS

Association Tests:

 * Genotype Relative Risk

 * Empirical Logistic Method

 * Relative Predispositional Effect

Bug-fixes:

 * `weight' parameter in sibstate() had no effect, corrected in 1.3

 * memory allocation in edit( twogen ) caused failures in DOS, corrected in 1.4

The manual has been expanded (it now includes references to some of the
analytical routines) and additional example files have been included to
demonstrate the new features of the program.

Directions for unpacking the program and documentation are in the file `README'
in pub/genetics/gas.  Only users who obtained GAS version 1.2 via ftp will
recieve an update message, so please pass on the upgraded package to any GAS
users who obtained the program via yourself.

 Many of the analysis modules and other features of GAS will be covered at
the 14th Wellcome Summer School, held this year in Oxford.  For details of

I am trying to get information on the current genome projects. 
I am particularly interested on reports of the current status 
of the sequencing projects. I would like to have some addresses 
were I could find such an information because I have tried on 
the net but this search has revealed itself completely NULL...

	Thanks to everyone who could help me.

I am interested on the genome projects and I would like to have 
email adresses were I could get progress reports of any of these 
sequencing project, that is on coli, subtilis, arabidopsis, 
human, mouse, etc... I thank you for any help you could give 
me.... My email address is :
