Reminder:

As announced at the two previous releases of the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence 
Database, a new division will be introduced at Release 39, June 1994.

This division will contain 'sequence tagged site' (STS) sequences.
A file called STS.DAT will be created for the release distribution format.
New entries assigned to the STS division will appear in daily update channels
from EMBL after 6.6.94.

Once again, I am making my "Annotated Guide to the Brookhaven Protein 
Data Bank" available.  This file includes listings for all of the 
files in the January, 1994 release.  The main additions this year are a 
complete listing of all of the lysozyme files, a better organization of 
the DNA files, and, most importantly, structure classifications for all 
of the protein chains in the data bank.

There is also a companion file which lists all of the sequence 
relations among the individual protein chains.  This file is called 
the "Sequence Relations" file.

Most importantly, if there are errors, which there probably are, given
that we are dealing with 2327 files, I would appreciate being informed 
of such.  

Please cite the work as suggested in the files if you use it in your 
own work.  A write up of the work has been submitted for publication 
and may appear later this year.  If so, the suggested citation will 
change.

Four important items follow: How to cancel e-mail subscriptions to
BIOSCI newsgroups, BIOSCI archive searching, the BIOSCI FAQ, and the
BIOSCI User Address Directory form.  If you have not yet listed
yourself in our BIOSCI user directory, please take a few minutes to
complete and return the form below.  If your personal information has
changed since you listed yourself, please send us a complete new
updated form.  We can not make manual revisions to existing entries.

				Sincerely,

				Dave Kristofferson

	 **** How to cancel a BIOSCI e-mail subscription ****

If you want to cancel your e-mail subscription to this group, 
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR UNSUBSCRIBE REQUEST TO THE NEWSGROUP ADDRESS
(NOR REPLY TO A MESSAGE POSTED TO THE NEWSGROUP)!!!

This would send your request to all of the readers of the newsgroup,
but it might still not be seen by the BIOSCI staff - thus you would
annoy many people and possibly not accomplish your goal anyway.

IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN THE AMERICAS OR PACIFIC RIM COUNTRIES, please
send a message to

biosci@net.bio.net

Instructions will be returned automatically, so the contents of your
message do not matter.

IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN EUROPE, AFRICA OR CENTRAL ASIA, please send a
message to

MXT@dl.ac.uk

containing the word 

help

in the body of the message to retrieve e-mail server instructions.
Any text placed on the Subject: line of your message will be ignored,
so be sure to put the "help" command in the body of the message.

If you need personal assistance, a BIOSCI staff member can be
contacted at either of the following addresses.  Please contact the
address designated for your location.

Support Address                      Location
---------------                      --------

biosci-help@net.bio.net              Americas and the Pacific Rim


		 **** SEARCHING BIOSCI ARCHIVES ****

The easiest way to search the BIOSCI archives is to use gopher
software and connect over the Internet to net.bio.net, the U.S. BIOSCI
computer.  We maintain three indexes which are searchable from the
main gopher menu on net.bio.net: (1) an index of all BIOSCI postings;
(2) an index of individual journal article references from the Table
of Contents postings on the BIO-JOURNALS newsgroup; and (3) an index
of BIOSCI users including regular mail and e-mail addresses, phone/FAX
numbers, research interests, and newsgroup participation.

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 (anything
entered on the Subject: line is ignored).

WAIS software can also be used to search the archives as described in
the BIOSCI FAQ (see below).


       **** 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 the command

info faq

in the body of an e-mail message to the Internet address
biosci-server@net.bio.net.  Please do not enter the info faq command
on the Subject: line of your message since the e-mail server ignores
text on the Subject: line.

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, waismail, and
gopher access.  If you have access to gopher, connect to net.bio.net
to search the database.  If you have access to WAIS, please use our
WAIS source biologists-addresses.src.  If you are not on the Internet,
please use our waismail server (send the word "help" to
waismail@net.bio.net to get instructions; any text on the Subject:
line of your message will be ignored, so put the help command in the
body of the mail message.).

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.

	    IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Please enter all responses after the : on each line, leaving one (1)
blank space after the : (i.e., before the start of your text).

Please do NOT extend your responses past the end of each line (80
characters).

PLEASE DO NOT alter any of the field identifiers such as "first name: ". 
If you have nothing to enter after a field identifier, PLEASE LEAVE IT
- do not delete it even if there is no data on the line in question.

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.,
15-05-93 for 15 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., 15-05-93, not 15-5-93.

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

Question:

I am interested in any help from anyone out there on the
following subject. 

We have become an information gathering
society. One of the areas of interest is the gathering of
large databases of information. I was wondering if
anyone out there might know of databases of biomedical
information and how to access them. For example,
GenBank, census data, databases of medical images,
databases of population statistics, environmental
toxicity data, dental data, etc. If you know of such data,
would you please send me the following information: 


Name of Database:
Is the database public or private:
How to contact database or database owner.


I will summarize the responses for the list. This is a
rather urgent request so, rapid answers would be
appreciated. Do not worry about duplicating others.


Feel free to cross post this note to any other lists that
might be appropriate.

Dear colleagues:

	We have been working on the obtaining of Ig sequences; ourinterest is the building of an immunoglobulin gene sequence database.
	There is impossible to access extensively any specificdatabase (Germline genes, Pseudogenes, Rearranged genes, etc.) using aserver. This is because there are not consistent rules in the assigned 
keywords to sequences of the same type. For example, there are not one 
keyword that can be found in all the pseudogenes of the Ig heavy variable 
domain in GenBank (either in definition or keyword fields).
	In many other databases like PIR and Kabat, the problems are similar.
That is, THERE ARE MANY INCONSISTENCES IN THE CODIFICATION PROCEDURES OF THE 
INFORMATION THAT SPECIFIES THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SEQUENCES.
	We think that in the context of the tremendous growth rate of the 
databases, this deficiency constitutes a very hard problem for themanagement, organization and rational analysis of the sequences.
 	It is important to catch the eye of the database manager about this 
problematic situation.

Dear colleagues:

	We have been working on the obtaining of Ig sequences; ourinterest is the building of an immunoglobulin gene sequence database.
	There is impossible to access extensively any specificdatabase (Germline genes, Pseudogenes, Rearranged genes, etc.) using aserver. This is because there are not consistent rules in the assigned 
keywords to sequences of the same type. For example, there are not one 
keyword that can be found in all the pseudogenes of the Ig heavy variable 
domain in GenBank (either in definition or keyword fields).
	In many other databases like PIR and Kabat, the problems are similar.
That is, THERE ARE MANY INCONSISTENCES IN THE CODIFICATION PROCEDURES OF THE 
INFORMATION THAT SPECIFIES THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SEQUENCES.
	We think that in the context of the tremendous growth rate of the 
databases, this deficiency constitutes a very hard problem for themanagement, organization and rational analysis of the sequences.
 	It is important to catch the eye of the database manager about this 
problematic situation.

Howdy,
I was wondering if there are any online databases out there which
contain only promoter and enhancer sequences.  If anybody knows
about such a service please e-mail me with the adress.
thanks in advance,

Release 39 of the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database, June 1994, is built and
available on the EMBL network servers.

The EMBL nucleotide sequence database was frozen to make Release 39 on 6th  June
1994.   The  release  contains  182,615  sequence entries comprising 192,195,819
nucleotides.  This represents an increase of about 8% over  Release  38. The
main change is the introduction of a new database division for sequences of
sequence tagged sites (STS).

A breakdown of Release  39  by database division is shown below:
