Good ANNOs! Arthur Bergen (owner HUM-MOLGEN) ****************************************************************************** Subj: chromosome 4 workshop This message was originally submitted by riessoby@RUBC.RZ.RUHR-UNI-BOCHUM.DE to the HUM-MOLGEN list at NIC.SURFNET.NL. Announcement: the next single chromosome 4 workshop is going to be organized in Bochum, Germany, from March 18- 20, 1996. Main topics will include physical and genetic mapping, STS and EST mapping, syntenic groups in mouse, rat, pig and cow and transcript mapping. Progress in cloning and characterization of disease gene regions will be discussed (e.g. 4q25, 4q35, 4q21-23, 4p16). The number of participants will be limited to 50 persons. For further questions please contact Olaf Riess --------------------------------- Olaf Riess, MD PD Molecular Human Genetics Ruhr University 44780 Bochum Germany phone: (+49) 234 700 3831 fax: (+49) 234 709 4196 email: riessoby@rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de **************************************************************************** Subj: ELSI at NCGR Website pages This message was originally submitted by elsi@NCGR.ORG to the HUM-MOLGEN list at NIC.SURFNET.NL. The National Center for Genome Resources (NCGR) would like to announce our new Web pages regarding the Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI) of biotechnology. The NCGR URL is: http://www.ncgr.org The specific ELSI link is: http://www.ncgr.org/elsi/elsi.hp.html We have made available two resources in particular that focus on human genetic and Human Genome Project issues. One is an encompassing bibliography of ELSI related references to provide starting points for further reading. The other is a series of "Scopes Notes" that provide full text overviews of ELSI topics. We plan on maintaining these pages with current and readable information on aspects of genetic research. We would like to establish links to any relevant sites out there. Please consider linking us to your site. Pass on this information about our site to anyone who would be interested. Remember to visit our pages regularly as we will continue to update it with new ELSI information. We hope this is of interest to members of this list.

I have created a set of Webpages with pointers to various sites with information about "Medicine and Molecular Biology" and "Computers and Biocomputing", etc. , the server where the Webpages reside is located at the University of Gent in Belgium (Europe). The URL to start is: http:// allserv.rug.ac.be/~pvanosta/welcome.html This brings you to my homepage from where you can choose one of the other Webpages: "Homepage" Good starting points Search engines Under the hood Homepages of some of my friends "Medicine" General Medical information on the Web Medical Specialties Medical Genetics Pharmacological information "Molecular Biology" General Molcular Biological information Information about DNA research Information about Protein research Materials and Methods in Molcular biology "Computers and Biocomputing" Links to Biocomputing information on the Web Webpages with information about Linkage analysis Information about Linux (cheap and powerful Unix for PC's) General Computer Information (software and hardware) "Libraries and Literature" Links to (Biomedical) libraries TOC's Journals Magazines Bookstores Literature on the Web Publishers "Countries and Culture" Travel information Governmental information Local information Art on the Internet "Everything you always wanted to kow about ..." Links to other interesting (but mostly less serious sites) Movies and Television, Recreation, Music, Humor, Astronomy, Astrology, Gastronomy, Sports, etc. I hope these Webpages will be useful to help people with finding information on the Internet. I will keep working on thes Webpages to improve them, adding links and changing outdated links, but I am doing this in my spare time, so it may take some days before changes are made. Information about new and interesting links are welcome of course. -------------------------------------------------------------- Peter VAN OSTA, MD Centrum Medische Genetica Universitair Ziekenhuis Gent (UZG) - 0 K 5 De Pintelaan 185 B-9000 Gent BELGIUM tel. +32-9-240 36 03 fax. +32-9-240 49 70 email: Peter.VanOsta@rug.ac.be WWW: http://allserv.rug.ac.be/~pvanosta/ ************************************************************************* Subj: THANKS! We received a wonderful reception to our announcement concerning the ELSI Bibliography and our new ELSI site. We would like to thank those who responded, with special thanks to those who passed the information on to others. The address we gave previously was passed along to those who may have a special interest in our site as an introductory URL. It was not meant to be universally deseminated. Though that address will work in a majority of cases, some browsers will not reso lve it properly. The best address to pass along or print is: http://www.ncgr.org Again, thanks for your interest. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ELSI AT NCGR ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | National Center for Genome Resources Mike Knapp mjk@ncgr.org | 1800 Old Pecos Trail Emily Kaltenbach eak@ncgr.org | Santa Fe, NM 87505 Shahar Tsadeek set@ncgr.org | [TEL] (505) 982-7840 (800) 450-4854 Lauren McCain lmc@ncgr.org | [FAX] (505) 982-7690 | http://www.ncgr.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *************************************************************************** Subj: File: "HUM-MOLG LIST" * Editor= ED-molgen@nic.surfnet.nl List of editors * Editor= Bergen@amc.uva.nl,Frank.zollmann@stud.uni-rostock.de * Editor= MKENNEDY@CHMEDS.AC.NZ,Gambacorti@icil64.cilea.it * Editor= GENETHICS@DELPHI.COM,ott@linkage.cpmc.columbia.edu * Owner= Bergen@amc.uva.nl Dr. A.A.B.
