Please, read it carefully and respond as fast as possible in the way that David suggests. This initiative will be very important for us in the future, and all of us will profit from this at the end. Christoph Grevelding (Moderator) The forwarded message from David Johnston: Dear Colleagues, Large scale genomic sequencing is currently in progress for Plasmodium and for many of the parasites within WHO-TDR Parasite Genomes Initiative. To date, large scale genomic sequencing has not been initiated for Schistosoma as neither the facilities / resources, nor the financial support / interest of the funding agencies have been available. However, with your support, this situation could be about to change. The NIH has identified 6 organisms, including S. mansoni, as high priorities for genomic sequencing and will accept proposals for two years worth of funding at US$ 1,500,000 per organism per year. The Schistosoma Research Community must act now in order to maximise the chance of these funds being released. THE S. MANSONI GENOME SEQUENCING PROJECT For the past few months, Phil LoVerde, Co-ordinator of the WHO-TDR Schistosoma Genome Network, has been in discussion with TIGR about the possibility of TIGR providing the facilities and manpower to undertake large scale genomic sequencing of S. mansoni. As a result of these discussions, TIGR ,with Dr. Leda Cummings as PI, will submit a grant to the NIH for the deadline of February 1st 2000, to initiate a genome sequencing project on S. mansoni. (Dr Cummings has previously been responsible for co-ordinating TIGR's sequencing of P. falciparum chromosomes 10 and 11). The project that will be submitted will involve the sequencing of both ends of inserts of clones in a BAC library. The BAC library constructed by Denis LePaslier and Ray Pierce will be used (library details) and a second BAC library will be constructed by Peter DeJong to provide an independent set of clones to maximise sequence coverage. The number of BAC ends sequenced will result in (1) new gene discovery (2) the identification of microsatellite markers (3) sequence markers approximately every 20,000 base pairs throughout the S. mansoni genome. In addition approximately 2 Mb of finished sequence from a single chromosome will be completed. This will also provide essential information on genome and gene organization. HOW YOU CAN HELP This announcement serves 2 purposes: (1) to inform the Schistosoma Research Community of the above proposal (2) to ask for your support by writing letters to Dr. Leda Cummings stating their enthusiasm for this project. This is a real opportunity for us to have access to a significant amount of genetic information and set the stage for continued sequencing of the S. mansoni genome. So that there are no misunderstandings about the nature of this application and TIGR's role in it; the entire US$ 3,000,000 will go to TIGR for sequencing and all of the information generated will be made immediately available in the public domain. In addition to putting the data in the public domain, TIGR will establish a web site that will be accessible by the scientific community much like the ones they have for malaria and trypanosomes. Below is a sample letter as a template that can be modified to suit each individual researcher. Please either e-mail the letters on letter head or fax them on letterhead to either: Leda Cummings at (1) 301-838-0208 / leda@tigr.org or Phil LoVerde at (1) 716-829-2169 / LOVERDE@BUFFALO.EDU Remember, the proposal must be submitted to NIH by 1st Feb 2000, so please act now and send your letters of support as soon as possible.

Takemi Program in International Health Fellowships at the Harvard School of Public Health The Takemi Program in International Health has extended its application deadline from February 1 to March 1 for the 2000-2001 academic year. The Takemi Program seeks applications for a limited number of fellowships for research and advanced training on critical issues of international health, especially those relating to developing countries. This interdisciplinary program focuses primarily on mobilizing, allocating, and managing scarce resources to improve health, and creating sound strategies for disease control and health promotion. To address these issues, the Program brings together at Harvard a small group of future leaders from around the world and from diverse disciplines. Through its fellowships for highly qualified individuals the Takemi Program seeks to contribute to institutional development and to improvement of national health policy as well as to the advancement of knowledge. The Program is named for the late Dr. Taro Takemi, the distinguished physician-scientist, who served for more than 25 years as President of the Japan Medical Association. Dr. Takemi also worked energetically to encourage people from many nations to address common issues, particularly the development and allocation of resources for health improvement. The Takemi Program has three major objectives: --to create better methods for mobilizing and using health resources in both rich and poor countries. --to promote cooperative research and comparative analysis of health policies and programs in different countries, including the promotion of Essential National Health Research. --to contribute to individual and institutional development by bringing together leading health professionals and scholars from many nations for research and training.
