The informations include a list of diseases where the particular molecule is thought to be involved, the cellular functions, a list of agonists and antagonists, some key references and email addresses of contact persons. Since it is a very new site, it contains only a limited number of entries. But if you would like to contribute to it, and if you think your own molecule of interest should be included in HotMolecBase, write email to "lvrebhan@weizmann.weizmann.ac.il". -------------------------------------------------------------------- 7 | World Wide Web Journal of Biology | WWW: http://www.epress.com/w3jbio/ | E-mail: editor@epress.com The World Wide Web Journal of Biology is a peer-reviewed journal free to all readers.The journal features interactive molecules, movies, sound files, color graphics, 3D coordinates, links to medline from references, links to databases, resources and much more. http://epress.com/w3jbio Lester F. Harris, PhD Editor-in-Chief editor@epress.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- 8 | "Confronting Cancer Through Art" | WWW: http://www.oncolink.upenn.edu/ccta/ | E-mail: sfrye@math.upenn.edu Anyone who has ever been touched by cancer should check out "Confronting Cancer Through Art" an online exhibition at http://www.oncolink.upenn.edu/. This is a unique exhibition that gives vision and voice to the experiences of all those who have confronted cancer. It includes nearly 200 works by 112 artists. Many of the artists are cancer survivors who used their art as a means of coping with or expressing their feelings about their illness. Others created their works in response to the illness of a family member or friend. When the University of Pennsylvania Cancer Center and the Arthur Ross Gallery put out a call for submissions, they didn't know what to expect. Because the response was so great, they expanded the exhibition to a second gallery. Still, it was not enough to accommodate all of the works that deserved to be seen. Thus, the idea for a Virtual Gallery was born. Many of the works are also on display at the Arthur Ross and Meyerson Hall galleries on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA. The exhibition runs through August 25. It is free and open to the public. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 9 | ImMunoGeneTics database | WWW: http://imgt.cnusc.fr:8104 | E-mail: lefranc@ligm.crbm.cnrs-mop.fr (Marie-Paule Lefranc) | Anonymous FTP: ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/imgt/ (LIGM-DB annotated sequences) Description IMGT is an international database specializing in Immunoglobulins, T-cell receptors (LIGM-DB) and MHC molecules (MHC/HLA-DB) of all species, initiated and coordinated by Marie-Paule Lefranc, of the University Montpellier II and CNRS, Montpellier (France). IMGT is produced in collaboration between LIGM (Laboratoire d'ImmunoGénétique Moléculaire, Montpellier, France), EMBL-EBI (Hinxton, UK), IFG (Institut für Genetik, Köln, Germany), ICRF (Imperial Cancer Research Fund, London, UK) and BPRC (Biological Primate Research Centre, Rijswijk, The Netherlands). IMGT comprises LIGM-DB (17 888 Immunoglobulin and T cell receptor sequences of which 6 804 are fully annotated, from 78 different species), MHC/HLA-DB (class I and class II Human Leucocyte Antigen alignments) and DNAPLOT (a tool for Immunoglobulin, T-cell receptor and Major Histocompatibility Complex molecules sequence analysis). LIGM-DB fully annotated sequences are also available at the EBI WWW server : http://www.ebi.ac.uk/imgt/. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 | Welcome to Scottish Enterprise Biotechnology Group | WWW: http://www.sebiotech.org.uk/biotech/ | E-mail: tony@COMMUNICATA.CO.UK You are invited to visit the Scottish Biotechnology Group site the definitive site for information on Biotechnology companies in Scotland.

Sue Welsh, a librarian at The National Institute for medical Research, London is guiding a collaborative effort to build a database of evaluated Internet sites providing high quality information for Medicine and Bioscience. The location and a concise summary and evaluation of the quality of the data of the sites are provided. The address is : http://omni.ac.uk The present database has some sort of British penchant but otherwise is highly recommendable as a starting point for Internet searches in the Medical / Bioscience field.
