Rationale --------- * Enhanced hyperlinks Additional hyperlinks not available in the EBI version of this document have been created. * Mirror site Connect times to Europe are too slow to effectively use this document as an on-line reference in Canada. * DOS version Constant use of this table definition necessitated having it available at all times for reference. A DOS version was created so that it could be used on a portable computer not connected to the Internet. About the OGMP version ---------------------- The OGMP (Organelle Genome Megasequencing Program) HTML version of the "DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank Feature Table Definition" document is based on the EBI version. In the process of constructing this version, many additional hyperlinks were created and a number of small errors were corrected. Otherwise the content of the document is identical to the EBI version. The WWW version of this OGMP version of the "DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank Feature Table Definition" can be fond at: http://megasun/bioinformatics/ebi_mirror/feature_table.html About the OGMP DOS version -------------------------- The major difference between the DOS version and the WWW version is file names. As DOS is restricted to eight characters preceding the extension, the meaningful UNIX file names (and all internal references to these file names) had to be discarded and replaced with an arbitrary file naming. However, as file names are not used once inside the document, arbitrary naming is adequate. The only exception is the table of contents of the document which is called "top.htm". The DOS version can be obtained at the following URL: http://megasun.BCH.UMontreal.CA/bioinformatics/ebi_mirror/pc/ftable.zip EBI --- Thanks to the European Bioinformatics Institute for providing the raw material for this version. The EBI version can be found on the net at: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ebi_docs/embl_db/ft/feature_table.html BUGS/ENHANCEMENTS ----------------- Please send all bugs and suggestions to me at the address below.

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. BIOSCI newsgroup instructions are available on the World Wide Web at URL http://www.bio.net/BIOSCI/docs.html. 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@daresbury.ac.uk Europe, Africa, and Central Asia biosci-help@net.bio.net Americas and the Pacific Rim **** SEARCHING BIOSCI ARCHIVES **** The easiest way to search the BIOSCI archives is to use Mosaic or another World Wide Web browser and connect to the BIOSCI WWW home page at URL http://www.bio.net/. We maintain three indexes which are searchable: (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). **** 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 fix problems that you might encounter in using the newsgroups. The FAQ and other BIOSCI documentation is available through our WWW home page at URL http://www.bio.net/. 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. 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 (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.). MAKING SURE THAT YOUR INFORMATION IS CURRENT This notice will be mailed bimonthly to each newsgroup. You should check your database entry from time-to-time to see if your address information is still up-to-date.

This mailing list is one of the ones affected by this work. The changes do not affect the parallel USENET newsgroup associated with this mailing list. So that the e-mail subscription routines will be consistent for all of the BIOSCI mailing lists at net.bio.net, we are adopting the convention that the <= 8 character e-mail address for each mailing list will be the text that is used in the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands sent to biosci-server@net.bio.net. This message only affects e-mail users who signed up on the mailing lists at the U.S. BIOSCI node at net.bio.net. All others can ignore the remaining details below. Please note that the UK BIOSCI node uses different mailing list management software which incorporates the bionet USENET newsgroup name in the SUB command, e.g., sub bionet-news.bionet.jobs.offered. UK BIOSCI subscribers should ignore the following info. The old server commands for this newsgroup were subscribe embl-databank unsubscribe embl-databank The NEW server commands are subscribe embl-db unsubscribe embl-db PLEASE DO NOT send these commands to the mailing list address. You will bother everyone on the list and not get yourself added to the list. All subscribe and unsubscribe commands for the Americas and Pacific Rim country BIOSCI list users should be addressed to biosci-server@net.bio.net.

Despite all the bad news, such as reduction of legal immigration and elimination of some family categories, there are a few signs of relief. Both outstanding researchers/professors and national interest waivers were restored to the Bill. So professionals( scientists, post-docs, engineers etc.) can still apply for permanent residence without labor certification and sponsorship of their employers. On the other hand, for those who have to apply through labor cert, they are, as usual, still at the mercy of the Labor Dept. Any positive change is yet to be seen. Although waiver of labor certification and employer sponsorship is still obtainable for those who qualify, difficulties have been on the rise and more are expected. Nearly all four Service Centers have implemented some newly proposed requirements that make it very difficult to obtain an approval. According to administrative rules no law should be carried out until it is final. Despite the rules, INS is already treating the proposals like enforceable law. In the real world, things are not always the way they are supposed to be. This is even more so in immigration practice with today's anti-immigration fervor. I am an immigration attorney specializing in employment based immigration(1st and 2nd preference). I will hold seminars on how to apply for a green card without labor certification and sponsorship of the employer. The intended audiences of my seminar are professionals with advanced degrees or a bachelor degree plus five years of work experience. I will also cover the impact of HR 2202 on future immigration. The locations of the seminar will include: 1.
