P. infestans is one of the world's most important plant pathogens, with a direct economic impact exceeding $5 billion per year. The successful applicants will join projects aimed at identifying and characterizing genes important in the growth and development of P. infestans, with an emphasis on sexual and asexual sporulation. The projects involve constructing cDNA libraries; identifying genes of interest from an EST catalogue and an expression profiling database (for example, microarrays); and characterizing the regulation and function of genes by manipulating their expression in P. infestans transformants and other strategies. Funding for these positions are available for up to 3 years. The laboratory is located at the Riverside campus of the University of California, which is situated in a dynamic region of southern California. Additional information about the laboratory is available at http://cnas.ucr.edu/~ppath/faculty/hj.html. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in a relevant discipline and demonstrated skill in cDNA library construction and/or gene analysis techniques. Experience with filamentous fungi is NOT required and scientists with training in other systems (plants, etc.) are encouraged to apply. To apply, send a curriculum vitae and the names of three references (including addresses and telephone numbers) to the addresses shown below.

I learned my cytology and DNA chemistry about 40 years apart so I may be connecting them wrong. DNA is naturally double stranded. The two strands are not identical, but complementary. The cell can reconstruct double stranded DNA from either single strand. I expect a single strand corresponds to a chromatid (a cytological term), but I am not sure of that. > Why, before a cell is about to undergo meiosis, does it have twice the > genetic information in a normal cell, when, if it had half, it could > just divide straight away?

Everybody has two of every chromosome type (types are numbered 1-22 and then the sex chromosomes X and Y). Each chromosome type consists of what can be thought of as a particular list of genes. Each chromosome only has one form of each gene in this list. Two chromosomes of the same type (same number) will have the same list (e.g. eye colour, hair colour etc.) but will have different variations/forms(alleles) of this list ... so one might have blue eyes, brown hair, and the other might have green eyes, blonde hair. Usually, someone's eyes are the same colour as each other so only one of these eye colour genes comes through (dominates). > If they don't pair up, why does colour blindness affect males > predominantly? Whenever you see something that predominately affects men you can guess that it is because it is on the X chromosome. This is because men only have one of these and women have two. If a woman has an X chromosome with the gene for colour-blindness on it she will also have another X chromosome with another gene which may be for 'not colour blind' (or normal) which is dominant over the other gene. Because men only have one X chromosome, if they have a gene for colour-blindness it will always come through. > What exactly are chromatids, and why do we need them? When a cell is duplicating all of its genetic material in meiosis (like you talk about later) it does this by making copies of each chromosome ... before the cell divides the copies stay attached to each other at one point ... each of the copies is called a chromatid. If you ever see a picture (photograph) of a chromosome, it is usually at this stage of cell division and looks like a large 'X', however, it is probably better to consider it like a 'H' with each vertical bar of the 'H' as a chromatid, and the horizontal bar as the attachment between the two. > What are double-stranded chromosomes, and why do we need them? Chromosomes are made of DNA. All of our DNA is double stranded. > Why, before a cell is about to undergo meiosis, does it have twice the > genetic information in a normal cell, when, if it had half, it could > just divide straight away? It actually doubles everything first then gives half of the original amount to each of four new cells. The reason it needs to have half the genetic information is because after meiosis cells will become either sperm (male) or egg (female) ... when the sperm and the egg join they then have the correct amount of chromosomes again (two of each). If you didn't halve the genetic information in these circumstances the child would have twice the correct amount and the grandchild would have four times the correct amount of chromosomes and this can cause many and complex problems. The way the genetic information in halved is not entirely random. After meiosis the new cells will each have one (instead of two) of each chromosome type. In mitosis (ordinary cell division that takes place as we grow ... and as our hair and nails grow etc.) is different to this and it involves the cell making copies of all of the chromosomes and then splitting in half with one full set of chromosomes in each new cell. > What is the point of crossover? Does it give an evolutionary advantage, > or is it just a side effect? An important part of evolution is allowing changes to happen ... crossing over is another way of making changes ... so in the above example, a crossover may have the effect of 'shuffling' the chromosomes so that blue eyes and blonde hair are together on one chromosome and green eyes and brown hair are together on the other. > I would be very grateful if anyone could give up a few minutes of their > time to answer some of these questions for me. I hope this helps. I'm sorry if it gets too complicated but they were complicated questions. I tried my best to explain things in a simple way but still give you the information you were looking for. Meiosis and mitosis are the most difficult to explain ... you probably will need to find a book or a web page with diagrams to illustrate what is going on. I was so impressed by the fact that someone your age is interested in these things (maybe there is such a thing as an educational computer game!) that I thought I should answer and let you decide for yourself if it is too difficult.

I would be very grateful if anyone could give up a few minutes of their time to answer some of these questions for me. >> Stephanie; you need a very basic text on cell division and learn the difference between asexual division(mitosis) and sexual division(meiosis). People may have trouble answering your questions for you appear to be asking several questions as part of the same question.

And we look forward to being a blessing!!! We have a special desire for those who desire biblical counseling so please feel free to share & we shall give you wisdom from God's word with the help of Holy Ghost. We believe wine (or beer) is a blessing in moderation, w/o excess. (Many scriptures which confirm this fact.) (Gen. 14:18),Heb.7:3,6;Micah5:2;Luke22:14-30;Psalm110, Heb5:10,6:20, 7:3,17,21,23-28;Heb.7:4-8,John8:55-59;Heb.7:2,1Cor.1:30,Heb1:8, (Gen 27:28): (John 2:1-11) Many more scriptures on wine which refer it as a blessing. (Beer is a weaker alcoholic substance than wine & made of rice & wheat which are also found in the Bible.) Those who don't know God, but are seeking we believe it is OK for them to have some wine/beer in moderation while Studying The New Testament. 1st, before trying to read God's word in the Old Testament. The OT is for mature believers. Cannot be understood (mystery) until living the New Testament/Covenant born-again experience. (Look up mystery Mark 4:11 & others). Believe in the Jewishness of God & his special devotion to Israel, Jerusalem, & the Jews. that to be better representatives for God, we must learn our Jewish roots & be genuine friends to the Jews around the world & Israel in prayer & action. This means we must identify ourselves as Jews ourselves, adopted into the Jewish family, & be willing to be persecuted for this truth, whatever the price, with the same perseverence & sacrifice for this fact as our faith in Yeshua as Lord & Savior/Messiah, even unto Death. Look for opportunities to become friends with our Jewish family. Learn our culture from them. Learn the Hebrew language, become involved with the Jewish community, however, we need to accept them as they are & not force Jesus upon them. We need to be genuine friends & learn from them & let God take care of bringing them to their Messiah by our love for them. God shall bless & fulfill needs that both of us, natural & adopted, have in our souls & spirits. Attend a local synagogue. Join a Jewish community center. Seek their friendship & then be a genuine friend.

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.
