We (the editors) will sometimes summarize or could initially return your message. We wish everybody high quality CALLs and other relevant messages!! Best regards Arthur Bergen CALLs follow: ****************************************************************************** From: IN%"ED-MOLGEN@nic.SURFnet.nl" "Human Molecular Genetics Editors" 14-AUG-1995 14:15:30.50 To: IN%"ED-MOLGEN@nic.SURFnet.nl" "Multiple recipients of list ED-MOLGEN" CC: Subj: I am looking for a geneticist by the name of Dr. A.

I am currently working on the human dopamine D3 receptor gene (DRD3). This gene is of interest to our group since there is an association between homozygote genotypes for a Bal I polymorphism in exon 1 and schizophrenia. We wish to isolate the 5' end of the gene, in order to determine the promotor region. Is there anyone who has access to HUMAN RNA, cDNA or cloned cDNA which contains DRD3? Has anyone done a Northern blot on the message? Is anyone else working on the promotor of this gene? ***************************************************************************** From: IN%"gqva12@udcf.gla.ac.uk" "Grant GALLAGHER" 22-AUG-1995 17:53:22.07 To: IN%"ED-MOLGEN@nic.SURFnet.nl" "Multiple recipients of list ED-MOLGEN" CC: Subj: CALL gqva12@udcf.gla.ac.uk (Grant GALLAGHER) sent the following comments: Hi does anyone know where on chromosome 1 IL-10 is? We'd be very grateful. Also, I'd like to 'meet' others who are working on the genetics of cytokine expression.

I am going to attend the ASHG meeting at Minneapolis from 24 to 28, Oct. I need a roommate to share my accomodation during the meeting. If anyone is interested, please reply to my private e-mail. Thank you. ***************************************************************************** Subj: CALL: REQUEST FOR INFORMATION This message was originally submitted by diskreva@MEKO.VUB.AC.BE to the HUM-MOLGEN list at NIC.SURFNET.NL. I write to ask for your help, advice, any information, addresses, etc. for a possibility to fund my PhD research programme. I come from Nigeria. I am finishing MSc course in the Free University of Brussels with outstanding results in course work and in my thesis research. I work with Prof. Jacques De Greve from Lab of Medical Oncology on ovarian cancer. My promotor (the boss of the Lab) is very pleased with my work and proposed me a PhD research in ovarian cancer. At the same time I received a proposal for PhD on artherosclerosis from Prof. Paul Holvoet, Molecular biology and Vascular Disorders, Catholic University Leuven (KUL). Unfortunately these universities could not sponsor PhD programmes. Both my promoter and I look for a scholarship that will give me the chance to develop my research in a PhD programme. My address is: Joseph Idigo Room C82 107, Laarbeeklaan 1090 Brussels Belgium Your kindness is going to be highly appreciated. Sincerely, J. Idigo Diana Iskreva, MSc Free University Brussels Human Ecology Department 103 Laarbeeklaan 1090 Brussels Belgium fax: +322/4774964 ***************************************************************************** Subj: Asian DNAs This message was originally submitted by BOWDEN@MGRP.BGSM.WFU.EDU to the HUM-MOLGEN list at NIC.SURFNET.NL. If you simply forward it back to the list, We have recently identified a highly polymorphic Y chromosome marker and are currently genotyping it on Caucasian, African-American and American Indian DNAs. We would also like to genotype it on a comparable collection of Asian DNAs. If anyone has such a collection and is interested in collaborating please get in touch with me.
