Following the Rio Convention, taxonomy is enjoying a resurgence of interest and support, and yet there remains an urgent need for the training of cytologist to provide vital base line data for taxonomic and systematic studies.There are many countries blessed with rich and diverse floras, where for the majority of plant species even basic cytological information such as chromosome numbers is not known. Although there are many taxonomists who are well able to secure the cytogenetic data they need themselves, many either do not have the time, or, perhaps more commonly, the inclination or know-how to try. One of the main aims of this Manual is to provide access to some well-tried protocols, for obtaining good chromosome preparations. The Manual is targeted at those with no, or little previous experience of working with plant chromosomes, and provides a clear and concise introduction to the field. For those who have struggled to get good chromosome preparations or had difficulty even seeing chromosomes in the slides they have produced, this guide contains step by step easy to follow schedules, with many hints and suggestions that will help towards getting useful cytological data, so that "having another go" becomes less daunting. The Manual includes - a brief introduction to the chromosome squash technique - a selection of well-tried step by step pretreatment and staining schedules for producing a good chromosome slide - recipes for the preparation of stains and other reagents - suggestions on how to tackle difficult plant groups - illustrations of stages of mitotic and meiotic cell division - information on variation in chromosome morphology and examples of taxonomic use of cytological data - hints on recording observations and record keeping - techniques for preparing slides for permanent storage - references to original published sources and other relevant publications ISBN 1 872291 42 2 Softback, wiro-bound, 210 x 297 mm, vi + 96 pp. Price GBP 10.00 + postage (UK: 1.50, overseas: 4.50) To obtain a copy, send a cheque for GBP 10.00 plus the appropriate postage to: Ruth Hollands, Scientific & Technical Services, Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, Inverleith Row, Edinburgh EH3 5LR, UK.

National Committee for CODATA National Research Council December 15-17, 1997 Natcher Conference Center National Institutes of Health Bethesda, MD Purpose of the Conference The exchange of scientific and technical (S&T) data among different computing environments and across diverse scientific and engineering disciplines presents major problems that hinder full exploitation of computer-based modeling, the Internet, modern scientific databases, and new computer technology. The U.S. National Committee for CODATA is sponsoring the first major interdisciplinary conference on this subject on December 15-17, 1997, in Bethesda, MD. The conference has three main objectives: - To identify areas, with special emphasis on interdisciplinary needs, in which data exchange and integration are important; - To highlight major S&T data exchange and integration efforts already underway or in planning; and - To foster serious and significant cooperation in these kinds of activities among scientific and engineering disciplines, and governmental and non-governmental organizations.

The discussion groups are expected to examine data exchange and integration issues in the following discipline and issue areas: - Biodiversity - Biophysics - Bioinformatics - Engineering knowledge systems - Industrial data - Space sciences - Earth observations - Geographic information - Social sciences - Intellectual property rights - International cooperation - Computer science - Long-term archiving Further details about these discussion groups will be made available in October. Additional Background By data exchange is meant several things: the transfer of large amounts of data from one set of software to other software; extracting small amounts of data from one or more data sources for specific use; and the creation of a linked or integrated data system with multiple data sources. Other possibilities exist. Data exchange has two major components: the stream of bits and bytes that actually represent the data items and fields, and the contextual meaning of individual data items and fields. S&T disciplines and applications have begun addressing data exchange issues, but progress has been slow and difficult for a variety of reasons. Scientists are often not accustomed to formal standards. Discipline experts, even though they may be quite knowledgeable in computation and database management, frequently lack expertise in information modeling and exchange standards. Metadata are not well defined, complicating the application of data across diverse scientific areas. As a result, interdisciplinary data exchange has been difficult to promote and rarely implemented. Consider for a moment geographic information. Many applications need such information: to locate physically the sources of samples, to describe the range of a phenomenon, or to specify the location of an event, among others. Today many geographic information systems serve diverse communities of users, and several efforts to develop standards for exchanging data among these systems have been proposed. Yet progress to develop such standards in other areas has been slow. Other types of scientific data, such as biological nomenclature, chemical and engineering material identification and temporal data, suffer the same problem. Many uses for these data exist outside the scientific disciplines that generate them, yet accepted methods for exchanging these data remain elusive. In Finding the Forest in the Trees, The Challenge of Combining Diverse Environmental Data, the U.S. National Committee for CODATA clearly documented case studies in which data interfacing, defined in that report as the coordination, combination or integration of data for the purpose of modeling, correlation, pattern analysis, hypotheses testing, and field investigation at various scales, was necessary to achieve full value of research investment. Data interfacing is founded upon the standards and protocols agreed to by different scientific disciplines to exchange data. Particular emphasis must be put on the role of metadata in this data exchange. About CODATA The Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA) is an interdisciplinary committee organized under the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU). CODATA is concerned with all types of quantitative data resulting from experimental measurements or observations in the physical, biological, geological, and astronomical sciences. Particular emphasis is given to data management problems common to different scientific disciplines and to data used outside the field in which they were generated. The general objectives are the improvement of the quality and accessibility of data, as well as the methods by which data are acquired, managed, and analyzed; the facilitation of international cooperation among those collecting, organizing, and using data; and the promotion of an increased awareness in the scientific and technical community of the importance of these activities. The U.S. National Committee for CODATA is organized by the National Research Council to administer activities within the United States related to CODATA. The Committee is funded by several federal agencies. Over the past decade, the Committee has completed several studies that have identified and analyzed issues related to maximizing the availability and usability of scientific and technical data. This national conference builds upon those studies and is intended to spur further progress and cooperation in data exchange and integration. Local Information Location The conference will be held at the Natcher Conference Center (Building 45) on the NIH Campus, 45 Center Drive (off of Wisconsin Avenue/Rockville Pike), Bethesda, Maryland. 301-496-9966.

After visiting the Guide, If you have any suggestion for making the Guide better please let us know. (webmaster@scienceguide.com) The Science Guide consists of a number of different sections designed to help the scientist and physician find information on the internet and to sponsor communication between those interested in science: NEWS SECTION Every day the Science Guide compiles medical and research news from national news sources around the net. Most of the news articles are concerned with medicine, bioscience, and physics, but all other sciences from agriculture to zoology are commonly included. News sources currently listed include: CNN, EurekAlert, HMS Beagle, MSNBC Sci-Tech, Science Magazine¹s ScienceNow, CBS Space News, USA Today, The Albuquerque Journal, Scientific American Web Weekly, The Why Files, Discover Magazine, Scientific American, Smithsonian Magazine, and the Technology Review. The news pages also list links to news sources not compiled within the News site. We are currently working on adding a number of other sources to the site to make it even more useful. To make getting science news even easier, we send out a DAILY NEWS EMAILER listing the articles which have been compiled on our site. Anyone can subscribe to the Emailer by sending an email to news@scienceguide.com with the message ³Subscribe² DIRECTORY OF USENET NEWS GROUPS and DISCUSSION LISTS The Directory of Usenet and Discussion Groups is compiled quarterly from different sources around the net to provide the scientist and those interested in science easy access to these invaluable sources of discourse and information. We are currently working on finding the proper subscription method for each of the discussion lists. This is taking a bit longer that we thought so please pardon our dust. The Usenet portions of this section are complete. ON-LINE JOURNAL HYPERLINK SECTION The Journals Section contains links to peer reviewed scientific journals on the Internet. Each listing clearly indicates whether the journal provides only the table of contents, TOC with abstracts, or the full text of the journal EMPLOYMENT SECTION The Jobs and Positions Section contains hyperlinks to the best Scientific Employment Databases and Classifieds on the net. GRANTS and FUNDING SECTION The funding section contains links to the best funding and grant databases on the Internet, making it very easy for scientists to quickly find funding opportunities. The featured site of the section is ³The Community of Science,² a Johns Hopkins service designed to help scientists find and continue funding.

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. Second Annual GENE FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS February 12-13, 1998 As the complete genomes of the first model organisms become available, it is now possible to explore how well such data can be interpreted in terms of functional analysis. 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 homology 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. GENOMIC OPPORTUNITIES: Emerging and Early Stage Partners February 14-15, 1998 The growing role of genomics in diagnostics and therapeutic development, along with dramatic advances in technological developments, is fueling the formation of new companies designed to exploit these opportunities. This program showcases several dozen impressive startup companies in a format suitable for comparison and networking. The intended audience includes pharmaceutical companies and more established genomic companies that are looking for partnering possibilities that would enhance their own development efforts. Investors and analysts will also find the program to be rich in potential for consideration.

The main BIOSCI FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is accessible on the World Wide Web at URL http://www.bio.net/. If you can not find an answer to your question in this or other documentation, the BIOSCI technical support staff answers e-mail queries sent to biosci-help@net.bio.net We can only answer questions about the use of the newsgroups and mailing lists. We unfortunately do not have the staff to do Internet information searches or answer scientific questions. Please post those to the appropriate BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. Contents: -------- 0) BIOSCI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!! 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. 0) BIOSCI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!! ------------------------------ BIOSCI's government funding has been expended, and we are now operating solely from advertising revenue that we have raised from our Web site at http://www.bio.net/. We need just a few minutes of your time to help us serve you. You can do two important things which will take very little time for you individually and will immensely help us continue to help you. First, please use our WWW system at http://www.bio.net/ to access the archives. You can post or reply to messages via your Web browser as described in item #1 below. Your usage helps attract sponsors. If you contact any of our sponsors, please be sure to thank them for supporting BIOSCI. It is critical for them to get this feedback if they are to continue their sponsorship for the long term. Second, if you work for a company or organization that provides products or services of interest to the biology community, please pass this message on to your marketing or marketing communications department or other appropriate group. Please ask them to help support BIOSCI by sponsoring our Web site and explain the uses and benefits of the system to the biology community. If they are interested, they can then contact us for further information at our tech support address, biosci-help@net.bio.net. 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. -------------------------------------------------------- As of 10 December 1995, all BIOSCI/bionet full newsgroups are accessible through the World Wide Web (WWW) at URL http://www.bio.net. One can read and reply publicly or privately to both recent postings and archived messages through one's Web browser if it is configured properly to send e-mail. Each newsgroup is equipped with its own WAIS index. The main BIOSCI home page also has access to the BIO-JOURNALS Table of Contents database WAIS index and the BIOSCI user address database described in another item further below. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- BIOSCI is a set of parallel USENET newsgroups (the "bionet" groups), mailing lists, and a hypermail archive at URL http://www.bio.net/. The same postings are distributed on all media (except for a small number of mailing-list-only groups at net.bio.net). Unfortunately it is becoming a despicable practice on the Internet (by a few people out to make a fast buck) to do automated mass postings to thousands of newsgroups and mailing lists. These attempts to grab free advertising are refered to as "spams" in the usual, somewhat boneheaded, net terminology. USENET is more susceptible to this practice, and many spams originate on the USENET groups and then are passed on to the mailing lists. However, spammers also get lists of mailing addresses and hit these too, so neither medium is immune. What should you do personally if you get junk mail? --------------------------------------------------- Just delete it and move on without reading it further. Filing a protest is becoming increasingly useless because spammers are often disguising the addresses where the messages are sent from. Unless you really understand Internet mail systems, your attempt at protest by sending replies to the message will often end up being sent to the address of an innocent person that the spammer is victimizing. What can BIOSCI/bionet do to protect its newsgroups? ---------------------------------------------------- The only solution currently available is to moderate the newsgroup. If this newsgroup is already moderated, then you are in good shape. Moderation protects the USENET distribution from about 95% of the spams that are being sent to date and protects the mailing lists completely. Moderation means, however, that someone has to take the time to review each message before it goes out. We have set up software here that simply allows the moderator to forward to an address at net.bio.net messages that (s)he wishes to have distributed. This takes no more time than that needed to read the message and pass it on, say about 1 min. per message. Most newsgroups currently have a discussion leader who is responsible for their newsgroup. The discussions leaders and their e-mail addresses are listed in the BIOSCI Information Sheet which is available on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. If a newsgroup is being hit with too many junk postings, please contact the discussion leader for that group and see if there is interest in moderating the group. Please do not assume that by simply posting a complaint to the newsgroup itself, anyone on the BIOSCI staff will act on your complaint. With close to 100 newsgroups to run, the BIOSCI staff has to rely on the discussion leaders of each newsgroup to report problems directly to us at biosci-help@net.bio.net. We will moderate any of our newsgroups if the discussion leader tells us that the readership of the group wishes to do so and if a moderator is willing to do the work. For most BIOSCI/bionet groups, this entails only a few minutes of work each day. Moderating a newsgroup will resolve probably 95% of the junk postings on the USENET distribution. Unfortunately there are easy ways for determined spammers to override the moderation mechanism on USENET, but we can protect our e-mail subscribers from unwanted postings if the newsgroup is moderated. You can also access our newsgroups over the WWW at URL http://www.bio.net. While this Web interface will not stop spammers from trying to post to the groups, this will give you yet another way, besides using USENET news, to keep the junk out of your personal mail files. For those of you with local USENET news systems, the Web interface will also give you faster access to new newsgroups and recent postings. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. ------------------------------------------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE: The BIOSCI management does NOT act on subscription/unsubscription requests that are posted improperly to the newsgroups and mailing lists. People who do this only bother everyone on the lists to no avail. Please be sure to follow the proper procedures below. Gory details are in the BIOSCI Information sheets on the Web at http://www.bio.net. Below we give an example utilizing the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list at both of our two BIOSCI sites: Users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries who use the BIOSCI ------------------------------------------------------------------ node at computer net.bio.net: ---------------------------- A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for the group. These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is methods@net.bio.net. The listname is the portion of the address to the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods". The listname is used with the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below. B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to biosci-server@net.bio.net. Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup posting addresses! Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it will be ignored. C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g., subscribe methods unsubscribe methods end Do NOT put your e-mail address or other text on these lines. The server only allows you to cancel your subscription if the address on your mail header matches the address on our mailing list. Please ask for help at biosci-help@net.bio.net if your address has changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells you that you are not a member. Users in Europe, Africa, and Central Asia who use the BIOSCI node at -------------------------------------------------------------------- computer daresbury.ac.uk (also known as dl.ac.uk): ------------------------------------------------- To subscribe and unsubscribe to/from the BIOSCI lists, you need to specify the full USENET newsgroup name with "bionet-news." prepended. The USENET newsgroup names are listed in the BIOSCI Information sheet on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list the USENET newsgroup name is bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts, thus the appropriate commands are sub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts unsub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts These commands are included in a message addressed to mxt@dl.ac.uk, NOT to the newsgroup mailing addresses. As usual, include the text in the body of the message as text on the Subject: line is ignored. To unsubscribe from all the lists at the UK node, use unsub bionet-news Please note that if the address in the list is different than the one in your mail message header, you will not be able to unsubscribe by this method. If you have problems, please mail biosci@daresbury.ac.uk. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. ----------------------------------------------------------- Please take this opportunity to add your name, address, and research interest information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so. You can fill out the address form directly through our Web page at URL http://www.bio.net/adrform.html. The address database is reindexed nightly for WWW access (the URL is http://www.bio.net/). If you are not directly on the Internet but can reach it by e-mail, please use our waismail server to access the user directory. waismail use is described above. You can also request a user address form by e-mail from biosci-help@net.bio.net. Please check your database entry from time-to-time to see if your address information is still up-to-date. Because of our limited personnel resources, we ask that you resubmit a *complete* form to revise your entry; we only replace complete entries and do not have resources to edit old forms.

The questions that are asked are 1)what is the present status on centrioles and are hey also found in Fungi? 2)Have endo-and exocytosis shown to occur or be imposable in walled eucaryotes? If you have any information about these two questions it would be greatly appreciated if you would e-mail the information to me. Thanks so much Eva Brown and Marisa Tran Vuong P.S. please e-mail to Kbrown@vaxxine.com From owner-chromosomes@net.bio.net Mon Sep 29 23:00:00 1997 Path: biosci!agate!spool.mu.edu!uwm.edu!cs.utexas.edu!news.uh.edu!not-for-mail From: Penny Riggs Newsgroups: bionet.genome.chromosomes Subject: Re: Looking for an article Date: Tue, 30 Sep 1997 18:35:47 -0500 Organization: University of Houston Lines: 14 Message-ID: <34318CD3.2101@sss.org> References: Reply-To: penny@sss.org NNTP-Posting-Host: sip-16763.public-dialups.uh.edu Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0C-nnie30 (Win95; U) To: Richard Friedman Richard Friedman wrote: > > I have been told by two of my colleagues that there was a "joke" article > written in Science a few years ago listing the "genes" on the Y chromosome. > I was wondering if anyone remembers this article and could pass along the > reference. The ref is Science 261:679. Aug 6, 1993 A scientist at Promega Corp followed that up with a "map" of the X chromosome. They put it on t-shirts for a recent cytogenetics meeting I attended. Penny
