		NCGR ANNOUNCES NEW WEB SERVER

The National Center for Genome Resources in Santa Fe, NM is pleased
to announce the availability of a new WWW server for genome-related
information.  The URL for this server is:

	http://www.ncgr.org

This server currently includes pages for both the Genome Sequence Data
Base (GSDB) and SIGMA (System for Integretated Genome Map Assembly).

The Genome Sequence Data Base pages provide:

- DNA sequence entry retrieval and SQL-based queries.  Entries retrieved
  in this way include hyperlinks to related information in other databases 
  such as GDB and Swiss-Prot.
	
- Data submission instructions and submission tracking reports.

- On-line database updates forms.  Corrections and updates to existing
  entries can be requested directly from the Web server.

- Offsite User Registration.  Users can register for read/write accounts
  on the GSDB database through an on-line form.

- Access to all GSDB software and documentation for downloading and on-line
  reading.

The SIGMA pages include:

- A hypertext, "guided tour" of SIGMA.
		
- Sample maps, including one of the human X chromosome.

- Access to the SIGMA software and documentation.
