HUM-MOLGEN archive: CALL: various

Note from the owner: A large number of new CALLs from students, scientists and clinicians!! I received some 'signals' from established organisations and 'physical networks' who show some uneasiness with the growth of HUM-MOLGEN (now far over 3000 subscribers), so: Please note that HUM-MOLGEN is an independent digital network, a spontaneous digital gathering of thousands of (mainly) scientists, clinicans and companies interested in Genetics and molecular biology. Instead of generating information, HUM-MOLGEN mostly and primarily facilitates direct and almost instanteneous information-exchange of communication provided by subscribers, with low level editor-ship. HUM-MOLGEN is not formally associated with any physical organisation.

So far I have found little and conflicting information. I am wondering if anyone has information to share with me on this subject. ( I have already looked on MEDLINE and read several abstracts but have not been able to get the journals yet). any help is appreciated Thanks for your help Molly ****************************************************************** Subj: CALL: VON HIPPEL-LINDAU DISEASE Can any one please let me have the latest reference on the gene for Von Hippel-Lindau Disease?

This devastating disorder offers some fascinating cellular phenotypes. Identifying the primary defect could help further define relationships between chromatin structure, chromosome segregation, mutagen sensitivity, and position-effect variegation in humans. Cell lines will be used to further define the genetics of this disorder. Other materials will be used to evaluate mutations once the gene is identified. Thanks in advance for your interest.

My Masters Thesis concerns a statistical review of the various methodologies utilized in the distinction and defining of human chromosomal fragile sites. If anyone has information concerning the 'statistics' involved in identifying what is a fragile site and how different scientists vary from one another in their methods, I would really appreciate a citation or brief abstract or an online location to contact and search for more information. Sincerely, Deborah R. Su email: DRSU@BIO.TAMU.edu ************************************************************* ------------------------------------------------------------ Please... Send replies to lizzy@wwg3.UOVS.ac.za This literature is needed for seminars for Post Grad students. (Most overseas magazines, journals etc. are very expensive in South Africa) Topics: Are Humans Still Speciating? DNA extraction from Cycads. How to use Molecular Techniques to do Genome Mapping. Thank You very much. Helizna Kilian Dept. of Botany and Genetics UOFS South Africa
