Human Genome News now available by Gopher

[Dan Jacobson]

In cooperation with the editors:

Human Genome News - a newsletter for the Genome Project,

can now be read and searched by gopher.  

Point your gopher client at merlot.welch.jhu.edu and select:

 -->  5.  Genome Project/

   -->  2.  Human Genome News/

Where you'll see:

 -->  1.  About the Human Genome Newsletter.
      2.  Search All Issues of The Human Genome Newsletter <?>
      3.  Browse The Current Human Genome Newsletter (July - 1993)/
      4.  Browse through all issues of The Human Genome Newsletter/



Here you can search all the issues of Human Genome News, read
the current issue or browse through and read all the back issues.

To search all the issues simply select:

 -->  2.  Search All Issues of The Human Genome Newsletter <?>

and enter a word or series of words that describe you interests.  You will
then see a list of articles that have at least one of the words you typed
in.

You can further modify your search by use of the words 'and' and 'not'.
For example:

pcr and mouse

will select articles which contain both the term 'PCR' and the word 'mouse'.

pcr not mouse

will select articles which contain the term 'PCR' but which do not contain
the word 'mouse'.

You may also use wildcards (*) to search for partial words.  If you wanted
to search for the words - genome, genomes, genomic, genomics .... You would
simply use -

genom*

Finally to do a very restrictive search you may use a phrase search ("....").
For example you could search for -

"cDNA sequencing"
