From owner-embldatabank@net.bio.net Sun Nov 05 22:00:00 1995 Path: biosci!internet!biosci!not-for-mail From: biohelp (BIOSCI Administrator) Newsgroups: bionet.molbio.embldatabank Subject: IMPORTANT: BIOSCI miniFAQ Date: 6 Nov 1995 02:06:32 -0800 Organization: BIOSCI International Newsgroups for Molecular Biology Lines: 196 Sender: daemon@net.bio.net Distribution: world Message-ID: <199511061000.CAA16597@net.bio.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: net.bio.net This is a new "miniFAQ" designed to answer the questions that come up the *most frequently*. The main BIOSCI FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is accessible on the World Wide Web at URL http://www.bio.net/. Contents: -------- 1) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. 2) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. 3) How to access BIOSCI/bionet newsgroup archives. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. 1) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- BIOSCI is a set of parallel USENET newsgroups (the "bionet" groups) and mailing lists. The same postings are distributed on both 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 newsgroups from about 95% of the spams that are being sent to date. This means 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. Unfortunately there are easy ways for determined spammers to override the moderation mechanism. We are working on new systems to provide access to our newsgroups over the WWW. These should be available soon, probably November 1995, and will allow you to use your Web browser to look at the news postings. While this 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. 2) 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. 3) How to access BIOSCI/bionet newsgroup archives. -------------------------------------------------- Back postings of all BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups can be found on the World Wide Web at URL http://www.bio.net/. There are several searchable newsgroup indices at this site. 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). 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 FAQ list was written taking into consideration various queries and problems that scientists from the users community have experienced. It is probably far from being complete. We welcome any suggestions, questions highlights... Just send us mail at: datalib@ebi.ac.uk An HTML version of the FAQ file can be found on: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/subs/subs_faq.html or linked to, from the submission system page in the EMBL area of EBI home page at: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ 1. What are the advantages of using EBI's WWW based sequence submission tool? 2. Will my sequence be processed faster than normal when I use the WWW based system? How soon will I get my accession number? 3. I need my accession number as soon as possible. Any guidelines? 4. Can I submit protein sequences with this tool? 5. Which platforms / browsers are compatible with the system? 6. Why is the submission system divided into so many parts? 7. I have a few sequences - do I need to type all the information time and time again? 8. I have previously submitted a sequence to EMBL. Can some of my data be used again for this submission? 9. I specified my previous accession number but the system could not locate my entry. What's going on here?... 10. What's this thing with freezing a submission? How do I do it? 11.

How do I request further help? 21. I have finished all my submissions, how do I stop the program? ================================================================== 1. What are the advantages of using EBI's WWW based sequence submission tool? a. In contrast to a stand-alone program, EBI constantly maintains and updates the program. This makes debugging and keeping up-to-date a lot easier. b. If you already have the WWW client installed, you don't have to waste time, effort and disk space on installation of a program on your computer. c. The program uses the EBI database resources (like the list of previous submitters, or journals), to enable a more user-friendly interface. d. You may freeze your session for a very long time. e. You can tell your friends that you have submitted a sequence using EBI's new system... +++ 2. Will my sequence be processed faster than normal when I use the WWW based system? How soon will I get my accession number? Generally, the process of submission is made somewhat shorter, since the submission system itself, prevents the user from many common mistakes during submission (like leaving out mandatory items, detecting minor errors etc). The system also enables EBI's data annotation staff to automate the processes of loading the submitter's personal details and the sequence data into the database system. Since your data comes in already formated in the most optimal way for us to process, it saves some manual editing steps. We will process data submissions within 24-48 hours of receipt and send authors notification of either what accession number(s) their data have been assigned or what additional information is needed. +++ 3. I need my accession number as soon as possible. Any guidelines? There are several things authors can do to minimize the time it takes to get an accession number: a. Be sure that submissions include all the necessary information and that all relevant questions have been fully answered. A very common trap for many users is not providing the sequence features. This introduced a delay, since our data annotators must communicate with the submitter, asking for that information. b. Check the data to be sure that they do not contain inconsistencies / errors (e.g., a stop codon in the middle of a coding region). c. Take extra care and check that the provided Email address is accurate. The submission system checks some syntax rules and the country domain provided, but can't do more than that. If a wrong Email address is provided, any attempt for further communication will slowed down the process. Your precise phone and fax number will also help. +++ 4. Can I submit protein sequences with this tool? The submission system is currently intended, and is specifically designed for submission of nucleotide sequences only. If you need to submit protein sequences to SWISS-PROT, please send a request for a data submission form to: datalib@ebi.ac.uk +++ 5. Which platforms / browsers are compatible with the system? The submission system has been thoroughly tested and is known to be compatible with all the common platforms (i.e. PC's Mac's Xclients and workstations). Most of the common browsers have been tested: mosaic, Netscape, MacWeb, lynx, Magimix. Users of Netscape for Mac & PC's should be aware of a Netscape acossiated limitations. Some Netscape browsers are incapable of saving the html source code generated by scripts (in fact they simply do it in the wrong way, asking the server to reload the source, something a CGI script can not provide). Users of Netscape should not attempt to 'freeze' their submission (see section 9), by saving the HTML source code of the form. They should resume their session by using the rescue mechanism provided by the system (see section 12). +++ 6. Why is the submission system divided into so many parts? The task of submitting a sequence to the databank(s) is a very complicated and demanding one. Breaking the process to many smaller forms enables some major advantages: a. It enables a high level of interactivity with the user. The system responds on the users input, checking validity on many data fields. b. It enables data hiding. Data items which are of no concern to all the users will be hidden and will appear only when the need arises. For example, if you submit a human cDNA, you don't need to see questions related to viral sequences. c. It enables managing the complicated task even when the network load is heavy. The forms are broken into a single network packet (or two), so traffic is cut down to a minimum. +++ 7. I have a few sequences - do I need to type all the information time and time again? Having X different sequences, calls for cycling through the submission system X times. Yet, the system will keep most of the submission details (according to your specifications) for re-usage. This means that on each of the remaining X-1 submissions, the selected forms will appear pre-filled with the appropriate details. The chance to specify which details should be recycled by the system is given following the completion of each submission. If you intend to submit several sequences that are related to each other, please mention this in the first page of the submission system, so that our sequence annotation group will know to process them together. +++ 8. I have previously submitted a sequence to EMBL. Can some of my data be used again for this submission? Yes. If your submission has been made directly to EMBL / EBI you may type your previous accession number. That will get you the first form of your personal details pre-filled with your details as they appear in the database. You have an option to modify any details if needed. Please review your data and check for any errors. +++ 9. I specified my previous accession number but the system could not locate my entry. What's going on here?... Well, normally - either your entry is still tagged as confidential, so it's not available to the public, or it is new and is not yet updated in the local names database of the submission system (it is not an automatic process yet). If neither is true, please let us know about it. It will be checked. +++ 10. What's this thing with freezing a submission? How do I do it? Before your submission is complete your data items are stored in a temporary storage area and are identified by your unique Id. Each one of the submission forms is carrying the unique Id in the HTML source code. When you submit the form, the system picks up the unique Id and acts accordingly. Theoretically, this means that if you will save the HTML source code to your disk, and open it later on as a local file, you will be able to press continue and go on with the submission. This is true for the amount of time specified by EBI (currently unlimited). From the practical point of view - just forget it. Many people (typically users of Netscape) had problems doing this and the rescue mechanism is so much simpler to use that it is the preferred method of resuming a session. See the explanations in section 14. Using the rescu mechanism enables you to gather pieces of information you have forgotten, go get coffee from the coffee machine, fall asleep leaning on your monitor or take a plane to Hawaii (unless your'e lucky enough to be there already), leaving us in anticipation :-) +++ 11. Is there a length limit for the sequence? why? Due to a current limitation of the WWW system, there is no possibility to transfer documents larger than 22500 characters. This means you can not submit directly, sequences larger than 22500 base pair. What to do if your sequence is longer than that? Instead of a real sequence, type in 4 bases, and send (only) the sequence itself to datasubs@ebi.ac.uk mentioning your unique Id. If you know in advance about this (you obviously do if you are reading this FAQ list...), please mention this fact in the comments box at the begining (or end) of the submission process. +++ 12. Must I specify features for the sequence? Indeed so. If you fail to provide the appropriate features, it will cause delays in the processing of your entry (See section 6). This is, since the data annotators will have to communicate with you further, to obtain the features from you. +++ 13. Can I copy & paste my sequence with numbers etc.? If you copy and paste your sequence from any program or text editor, the sequence may contain spaces, tabs and numbers. These will not be regarded by the system and your sequence will be reformated. +++ 14. My system / browser has crashed. What do I do?... Ouch. It's time for a rescue... From the submission home page (the one with the logo), there's a link to the rescue mechanism. Select this link, specify the unique Id that is given to you at the begining of the submission and pray. You will be taken to the last step at which your submission has stopped. This however, refers to a submission while it is at process. After the submission has been completed, the rescue mechanism can not be in operation. Please note a recent change (since November 95). Since now the same system serves several submission systems (currently EMBL and the PCR primers databases and soon to come the SWISS-PROT database), you are now required to specify to which database you were submitting when your session was stopped. You may certainly use the rescue mechanism instead of "freezing" your submission at any time (although molecular biologists DO tend to freeze everything...). +++ 15. I forgot to write my unique Id. How do I get it? Just send a request by email to: datalib@ebi.ac.uk We can detect your unique Id, provided your entry still exists in the system. +++ 16. Why is it so important not to step back? When is it needed? On any step of the submission, if you go back to more than one previous form and press "continue", it will result in loss of the recent data items. Say that you have submitted 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. You now press 'back' and go to 3, then you press "continue", it will erase 4 and 5. If, however, you step only one form back and press "continue", your data is safe. This allows you to correct the last form you entered. So what if I'm at step 5 and discovered an error in 2? There is a special form at the end, allowing you to correct any data item you wish. Please use it. +++ 17. How can I add a feature from the final validation form? If you need to add a feature during the final validation step (where you are given the full list of all your data for approval), select the last feature's checkbox (that is unless you need to correct a feature entry anyway), and continue. Continue (unless a correction is needed) without change. You will get back to the final validation step, but two empty feature entries will be appended to the list. Check one of their boxes and press "continue", to enter their data. Specific help for each feature's options and qualifiers is given after selecting a feature. If you have initially chosen not to add any feature, but made up your mind to add one in the final validation step, check the box for correcting the sequence and press continue after specifying that you need a feature. Again - you will have a checkbox associated with an empty area. Check it and press continue. +++ 18. How can I remove a feature from the final validation form? Check the feature's checkbox and press continue. This will give you a chance to correct the feature's entry. Specify locations from 0 to 0, leaving the qualifiers lists empty. This is a sign for us to cancel this feature entry. DO NOT leave both feature lists empty (i.e. containing '------'). This will get you into an endless loop with funny looking qualifier boxes. If you have mistakenly went into such a loop, simply step back, and re-submit the unwanted feature as described above. +++ 19. During submission of the features I went into an endless loop, why did this happend? How do I get out of it? The system currently enters an endless loop if both feature lists are left empty (i.e. containing '------'). If you have mistakenly went into such a loop, simply step back, and re-submit with a feature selected. If it happend while trying to cancel a previously submitted feature, see section 18. +++ 20. How do I request further help? Open the window and shout "HELLLLP", or... In any of the submission's context sensitive help files, at the bottom, there's a special area where you can type your help request. Be sure to enter your correct Email address. You can also send Email directly to: datalib@ebi.ac.uk. Please specify your problem in clear words and try to be as descriptive as you can. +++ 21. I have finished all my submissions, how do I stop the program? There's actually nothing to stop. If you don't intend to submit any more sequences, just use your Web browser as you would normally. Either choose any other URL, go to EBI's home page, kill your browser... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Benny Shomer External Biological Liaison Officer, EMBL outstation - The EBI, Hinxton Hall, Hinxton,Cambridge CB10 1RQ, UK Tel: +44-223-494437 Fax: +44-223-494468 Email: bshomer@EBI.ac.uk http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ebi_docs/staff/benny.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From owner-embldatabank@net.bio.net Tue Nov 07 22:00:00 1995 Path: biosci!URANO.MIA.UV.MX!fmontes From: fmontes@URANO.MIA.UV.MX (Fernando M.

Our group in Molecular Bioinformatics and Immune Recognition are opening a new laboratory in protein modeling and sequence analysis. We are seeking for two Ph.D. with experience in sequence and/or structure analysis of proteins or in the the study of the molecular mechanism of immune recognition. Our area of research is the study of the molecular basis of immune recognition. This problem is studied from a wide spectrum that goes from the analysis of the structural diversity of the germline repertoire, the comparison of the immune molecular recognition strategies in vertebrates, the construction of a 3-d specialized database of Igs, Mhc and Tcr and it analysis, molecular dynamics studies of the Fv, etc. We try to integrate these studies in the context of theoretical models and the general theory of the immune response. We are planing to extend in the future our studies to other recognition models like those of the endocrine or nervous systems. The two positions available are for a period of three years of renewal. After this period, if the work is evaluated as satisfactory the position will come permanent. The new laboratory is the result from an agreement between the National University of Mexico and the Veracruzana University. The seat of the laboratory will be the City of Xalapa at the state of Veracruz. Xalapa (1500 m. over the sea level) is a medium size city (300,000) and is the capital of the state of Veracruz. For information about the Veracruzana University please see at: http://www.coacade.uv.mx/ For information about our Molecular Biology Laboratory here in Xalapa please see at: http://uv4.ivest.uv.mx/ The candidates must send their curriculum vitae with all its publications to the e-address indicated at the end of this message.
