HUM-MOLGEN archive: ALL: GROWTH AND NEW HUM-MOLGEN DEVELOPMENTS

Dear HUM-MOLGENeticist, I am happy to inform you that the HUM-MOLGEN communication web has now grown to approximately 800 subscribers (present growth-rate 1% a day) Moreover, we have had only a very few subscribers signing off, so far! Also, our HUM-MOLGEN WWW preview was a succes; Although many improvements of the WWW site are still under way, we are now starting to introduce the WWW to the entire internet community. New developments: Neurogenetics::: A collaboration between HUM-MOLGEN and the high quality neuroweb communication forum of John Lester (Harvard) has been started under the DIAGNOS TOPIC (please look also at the WWW). Besides this the TOCs of the Journal BRAIN and the European J of Neuroscience will be available (similar to the TOC of Human Molecular Genetics), whcih will give us the opportunity to develop a high-quality NEUROGENETICS section under the DIAGNOS TOPIC. In the future, we aim for further collaboration between high quality communication forums and HUM-MOLGEN, f.i. in the field of CANCER, OPHTHALMOLOGY etc. NAR::: I am happy to inform you that Oxford University Press has decided to send the TOC of the NAR (Nucleic acid Research) to HUM-MOLGEN, weeks before this Journal appears in hard-copy. BIOT-MAILING::: I am happy to inform you that several companies have shown interest in our once-a-month mailing to BIOT/MOLBIO. It is expected that these mailings will start at the end of June. More developments are under way! Also on behalf of Frank Zollmann and ED-MOLGEN (HUM-MOLGEN editors) Arthur Bergen
