New CALLs! Arthur Bergen **************************************************************************** >From i.cantore@MEMEX.ITFri Jul 12 15:06:46 1996 I have readed yesterday that the chimpazee genome is the 98,6% of the human genome, it is a new, or only now perfectly known, well, what do you think about that, and in particular, what there is in the last 1,4% of genome with more importance? thanks. ----------------------------- Name: Italo Cantore Address: Via degli Oleandri,9 85100 Potenza ITALY Tel: +39 971 55119 Fax: +39 971 55219 Email: i.cantore@memex.it ************************************************************************** >From uucp@GNDU.ERNET.INFri Jul 12 15:07:17 1996 From: "Prof Dr Jai Rup Singh, Coordinator," <uucp@GNDU.ERNET.IN> This message was originally submitted by uucp@GNDU.ERNET.IN to the HUM-MOLGEN list at NIC.SURFNET.NL.

They are published annually in paper and microfiche formats by the Institute of Scientific Information, Philadelphia, PA, USA. However, some labs and individuals keep selective lists of the IFs of their favourite and pertinent journals. One such site is: http://avocado.pc.helsinki.fi:81/128.214.75.66/impact/ Alternatively, try searching using "Impact Factor" as the search phrase.

The URL is http://www.apollo.co.uk/a/pcr/ This important new Jump Station was developed in response to requests from a number of scientists (see Nature Biotechnology 1996, Vol 14, page 517). The PCR Jump Station is intended to fulfill the need for a web site containing links to accurate and up-to -date information on PCR theory, protocols, relevant computer software, PCR applications, tools, and references. The site will be of interest to many biologists, scientists, and medics. Particular relevance to molecular biology, genetics, microbiology, bi ochemistry, biotechnology, diagnostics, forensic science, and DNA fingerprinting. If you know of any links that should be added please email hugh.griffin@bbsrc.ac.uk Many thanks Hugh ------------------------------------------------------------ Server protocol: HTTP/1.0 Remote host: pc0978.ifrn.bbsrc.ac.uk Remote IP address: 149.155.119.210 **************************************************************************** >From smeltzer@UMABNET.AB.UMD.EDUFri Jul 12 15:12:02 1996 From: "Stephen J.

Dear Colleagues, We are studying inherited forms of vascular anomalies and are looking for additional families for linkage studies on a collaborative basis. We have previously published one locus - identified by random genome mapping - for venous malformation (also called cavernous hemangioma) on Chromosome 9p (Boon et al, Hum Molec Genet 3, 1994; 1583-1587). As a collaboration we have also confirmed the linkage using another large family (Gallione et al, J Med Genet 32(3), 1995. ) We are currently characterizing a candidate gene in the 9p locus and with several additional families that we have been able to collect, we have identified another locus causing inherited mucocutaneous venous malformations. To narrow down the linked intervals and to clone the defective genes it would help us to have additional families. At this stage we are interested even in small families (with minimum two affected individuals). Therefore we are asking for everybodies help to identify and locate more families with similar phenotype all around the world. Looking forward to reading from you all.
