This resource is available on-line at: http://linkage.cpmc.columbia.edu/chr1/ The WWW site contains pertinent information regarding cytogenetic, genetic, physical, and transcript mapping exclusively of or including the largest human chromosome. Current resources include: -Repository of meeting information and report of the September 1995 chromosome 1 workshop -Directory of links to available chromosome 1-specific mapping information -On-line forum for discussion of chromosome 1 mapping and sequencing issues This resource is sponsored by a collaboration between the Statistical Genetics Group at Columbia University and the Division of Oncology at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, with guidance from much of thechromosome 1 mapping community. For further information, please contact Pete White at white@kermit.oncol.chop.edu or Tara Matise at tara.matise@columbia.edu. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 | Genline -- Demonstration Page | WWW: http://www.hslib.washington.edu/genline/ | E-mail: bpagon@u.washington.edu (Roberta Pagon, M.D., Editor-in-Chief) Genline is proposed as an authoritative, expert-authored electronic publication with clinically relevant, concise, integrated and up-to-date information to assist clinicians in applying new developments in genetic testing to the diagnosis, management and counseling of individuals and families with inherited disorders. Entries are expert-authored and peer-reviewed. They will be updated regularly or as new developments occur. This prototype includes sample disease profiles. Further development of Genline is pending funding. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 | The New England Journal of Medicine On-line | WWW: http://www.nejm.org/ published by the Massachusetts Medical Society includes the complete text of many features of the print Journal and partial text of others. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 | Search in the biology Web servers | WWW: http://www.pasteur.fr/search/Biology-en.html This server searches in all the pages referenced by the Pasteur Institute Web server in its biology "pointers" pages, "Molecular Biology on the Web". (Actually, we index the pages we reference and the pages below - two levels. This means we index pages that you can reach with at most two hyperlinks activation. This can bring back pages without any connection to the biology.) You may access help for formulating queries. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 | Homepage of FEBS | WWW: http://ubeclu.unibe.ch/mci/febs/ | E-mail: ott@mci.unibe.ch (Dr. Peter Ott) Since early 1996 it is possible to obtain information on the activities of the Federation of European Biochemical Societies via the World Wide Web. The FEBS homepage has the following URL: http://ubeclu.unibe.ch/mci/febs/ Updated information is available on Febs Meetings, on Febs Advanced Courses, on Febs Fellowships and on the European Journal of Biochemistry and Febs Letters. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 6 | Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics(Archives) | WWW: http://www.swmed.edu/home_pages/ASHI/about.htm | E-mail: ps@sta08.swmed.edu (Peter Stastny, M.D., Editor) This is an on-line journal that will receive, store and disseminate, formal short communications in the fields of Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics. Papers will be sent by e-mail and reviewed online for publication within 10 days of receipt. Published papers will be stored permanently and will be available for downloading via FTP and through the ASHI Gopher. In the future, subscribers to the Archives will be able to make comments and these will be attached to the paper. The number of comments will be an indicator of the interest suscitated by the report. The Archives are presently in the development stage. In order to evaluate this proposal we may post some papers as a test of the procedures involved. Your comments are solicited. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 7 | TRENDS IN HUMAN GENETICS | WWW: http://ncgr.org./gpi/Sci-Amer.art.html Vital Data by Tim Beardsley, staff writer / Scientific American. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 8 | European Society of Human Genetics online | WWW: http://www.infobiogen.fr/agora/eshg/ | E-mail: Jean-Jacques.Cassiman@med.kuleuven.ac.be The European Society of Human Genetics is pleased to announce the opening of its website (http://www.infobiogen.fr/agora/eshg/). -------------------------------------------------------------------- 9 | Cytokine Family cDNA Database at Kumamoto University, Japan. | WWW: http://cytokine.medic.kumamoto-u.ac.jp/ | E-mail: nomiyama@gpo.kumamoto-u.ac.jp The Cytokine Family cDNA Database (dbCFC) is a collection of EST (Expressed Sequence Tag) records of cytokines deposited in the NCBI GenBank. It provides information about the identification of EST records to cytokine members and related data contained in other databases including GenBank, dbEST, GDB and OMIM. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 | PITTSBURGH SUPERCOMPUTER CENTER 1996 BIOMEDICAL WORKSHOPS | WWW: http://www.psc.edu/biomed/workshops.html | E-mail: blankens@psc.edu Biomedical workshops offered by the Pittsburgh Supercomputer Center typically consist of theoretical lectures taught by leaders in the respective scientific discipline, and extensive hands-on computer sessions. During the computer sessions, participants are able to work on the examples provided or on their own experimental data. Attendance is limited to 20 participants to allow one-on-one instruction and encourage scientific interactions and discussions. Application deadlines are six weeks prior to the workshop. Researchers nationwide are invited to apply. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 11 | How to announce new Internet resources, press releases etc. You can announce (free) new Internet resources, press releases etc. at http://www.informatik.uni-rostock.de/HMB-NewsGen/vw3news?postF For other announcements please take a look at http://www.informatik.uni-rostock.de/HUM-MOLGEN/hum/submit.html **************************************************************
