Hey, Wang, TMAC is tetramethylammonium chloride.  As far as I know, it can
increase the priming specificity when added into PCR reaction.

Hi!

	As many of you may remember from a previous posting, I am putting 
together a mini-review of molecular techniques that are useful in the study 
of clonal organisms.  Thanks to many of you I am come up with quite a list 
of acronyms.  Some of the techniques probably won't have the power to resolve 
individual genotypes, but many look quite useful and some have been used 
already to distinguish genotypes. I  am now sorting through them all 
for examples to use.  Some of the methods have been used to distinguish 
genotypes, but some techniques are relatively new (AFLP and RAMP) and I was 
wondering if anyone is aware of studies that have looked at the ability of 
these methods to resolve genotypes.  Both approaches seem appropriate for 
this level of analysis, but it would be nice to be able to present some 
data (i.e., sampled xx individuals, identified xx clones, etc.)


	Again, any input would be greatly appreciated, and thanks again to 
all those who have provided me with acronyms.  

Cheers,

Mary-Alice Coffroth

A couple of months ago, I posted a request for mollusc DNA extraction 
techniques to use for my senior thesis.  Thank you very much to 
everyone who wrote back.  I decided to try Harry Witchel's version of 
the Winnepenninckx, et al. technique from TIGS 1993, which was sent to 
me by Elizabeth Boulding.  I was not able to get RAPD amplification 
results after extracting with this technique, and I was unable to try 
other techniques because I ran out of time.
	Again, thank you for all of the responses.  I am amazed at the power 
of this medium for accessing information.

Yes.  I tested a demonstration version of Dendron.  It was version 2.0 
if I remember correctly.  Anyway, database handling is very poor.  Ie 
marker weight with more than 5 characters cannot be handled correctly.  
The whole database is a textfile, so no sql queries possible, and I 
don't know how it behaves with large amount of data.  The overall 
aspect of the package convinced me, but the developing state was 
something like in a gamma- or beta-phase.  A unique feature of the 
package which I miss in others is the fact, that different lanes out 
of different gels can be aligned into a virtual gel.  That's a great 
point!
If you are interested in getting more information, just email me to 
frey@umnw.ethz.ch.  I had a big conversation with the developpers 
going into some more details.

Dear Netters,

  we are to mutagenise TOBACCO seeds and then select for the mutants

In order to map the position of the mutation we would need tobacco

plants that carry known markers; especially  ones that are known to

reside at particular chromosomes would be very usefull to our mapping 

effort. Therefore may we ask anyone who has seeds from such plants 

to send us some to the address mentioned below.

Please note that this message had to be reposted because of a failure

to our VAX system that didnt allow us to recieve any responses.

Thank you for your help.

	    BIOSCI is about halfway to its funding goal!!

I'm interrupting the usual monthly posting of the BIOSCI miniFAQ to
bring you up to date on BIOSCI fundraising progress, a topic of
concern to your future use of this resource.  Thank you in advance for
taking the time to read this message carefully.

Last year we announced that BIOSCI was going to adopt the U.S. Public
Broadcasting System model to fund its operations after our DOE/NSF
grant runs out later this year.  Unlike PBS, we are not soliciting
contributions from users; we are only selling ads on our Web pages
solely to cover our operating costs.  Our goal is to seek sponsorships
until we build up an operating reserve of about $100,000 and then
cease further promotions until we need to build the reserve back up.
(The accountants among our readership will be familiar with the
problem of deferred revenue which we can not safely utilize until ads
have been displayed for a period of time.)  We are only about halfway
to our funding goal and need to raise further funds to avoid having to
curtail services at net.bio.net.  Fundraising is time-consuming,
however, and we need your help as explained further below.

Our operating costs consist of our network connection, phone lines,
hardware maintenance (we will be getting newer and faster hardware
soon!), plus 0.7 FTE of salaries covering UNIX systems admin,
technical support, quality assurance, i.e., testing, of our system,
and administrative costs (such as the time it takes to actually
find/write/call potential sponsors and raise money!).  Although the
BIOSCI staff does get compensated for a portion of the work that they
do, this project has always received a lot of free after-hours and
"vacation" time labor, so we hope that no one will begrudge the time
that we do charge to the project to serve you.  All of the three
part-time staff members, Dave Mack, Julie Lawrence, and myself, have
full time day jobs and families in addition to working hard to keep
this service running for all of you.  Julie and Dave Mack are
subcontractors for BIOSCI; my time that is charged to the project
defrays a portion of my regular salary instead of adding to my income.

Besides having to relocate the project, we were very busy this last
year building new infrastructure such as our WWW hypermail interface
to the system.  This was released last December along with scores of
WAIS indices for the newsgroups.  Virtually everything is complete,
although we do continue to find and fix bugs (many through your
helpful feedback!).  We are still having some problems with our WAIS
indexing.  The archives continue to grow rapidly.  We are running over
100 indexes now versus three previously and any systems crashes cause
greater havoc with the indexing than before!  We are still working to
fix this as fast as our resources permit and appreciate your patience,
but we have been able to automate a lot of the infrastructure to
reduce labor as compared to past requirements.

We have also implemented new software to make moderation of
BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups much easier and combat the growing problem of
Internet junk mail and USENET "spamming."  About 20% of our groups are
now moderated, many of them by the BIOSCI staff!  This, for example,
made a major difference last year in the quality of content in our
EMPLOYMENT/bionet.jobs.offered newsgroup which many commercial
concerns and recruiting firms are using **without charge** to recruit
candidates for positions in the biological sciences.

We are also now in a position to have sponsors for individual
newsgroups as you will have noticed if you have visited
http://www.bio.net/ and clicked on "Access the BIOSCI/bionet
newsgroups" recently.

So, how can you help??
----------------------

As noted above it can take a lot of time to contact potential sponsors
if I have to do it all myself.  Our request is quite simple.  You can
do two important things which will take very little time for you
individually.  

First, please use our WWW system at http://www.bio.net/ to access the
archives.  You can now post or reply to messages via your Web browser.
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.

Our hope is to quickly raise several large corporate/institutional
sponsors on our heavily-used WWW locations (some stats appended
below), and then end this sponsorship campaign so that our resources
can continue to be used for service provision, not fundraising.  Many
of our specialty newsgroup WWW archives are still used by small
communities of scientists (and they haven't been heavily promoted
yet).  While these may be valuable niche markets to some advertisers,
it will generate more labor and overhead having to find these
sponsors, fairly price the locations, and deal with lots of smaller
sponsorships than fewer mid-to large sponsors.  We are striving to
keep our operation as lean and efficient as possible since we are not
trying to make careers out of running BIOSCI.  We are trying if at all
possible to avoid the administrative overhead entailed with processing
lots of small payments to reach our fundraising goals.

I'd like to thank all of you for your help in advance. In helping us,
you are also helping yourselves, not only in keeping this resource
available for all of the both large and small research communities
that we serve, but also by alleviating the need for us to go back and
compete with researchers for tight grant dollars!  We promised NSF
when we were awarded the BIOSCI grant that we would carry out this
mission to make the service self-supporting.  With your help, we will
succeed in continuing BIOSCI's work into its second decade.  Thank you
very much!

				Sincerely,

				Dave Kristofferson
				BIOSCI/bionet Manager

Fellow RAPDers,
Firstly, I hope no one is frustrated with microsatellite queries on this RAPDs
platform. But I get the impression that subscribers are au fait with a range
of molecular techniques.

To business: I'm in the throws of getting microsatellites prepared for the
identification of sea anemone clones.  While library construction will
probably be unavoidable, the more primers at my disposal, the better!  So, if
anyone out there is (or knows of a group who is) working with cniderian
microsatellites please let me know.

Does a database of microsatellite primer sequences for various taxa exist?

Many Thanks,
Al Griskaitis

Dear Netters
I am looking for relatively inexpensive (shareware is preferred) PC or Mac
based DNA fingerprinting software programs for accurate fragment sizing
and matching. The program should be able to convert the saved data for
various statistical analysis such as relatedness or similarity index.  I
do appreciate your suggestions.

At the moment we are working here on RAPD analysis of sexual and asexual 
Stratiotes aloides populations. Untill now we have had a lot of problems, 
apparently with lots of secundary compounds in our extraction but also 
with other less defined problems. 
Does anyone out there has any experience with DNA extraction and/or RAPD 
analysis of Stratiotes (or ant other aquatic macrophytes). 

Please let us know.
