I am now trying to contact Dr. Tom Brown at Pfizer (in Connecticut) who was in Prof. Steve McKnight's Lab and published the paper in Genes & Development (vol.6, 2502-2512, 1992) for the Ets related gene, especially the cloning of ER71. Does anyone know his address or e-mail number? Thank you for the advance. Masamoto Kanno, Ph.D. Associate Professor Division of Molecular Immunology Center for BioMedical Science School of medicine Chiba University 1-8-1, Inohana, Chuo-ku, Chiba 260 Japan Tel: +81-43-226-2200 Fax: +81-43-227-1498 e-mail: kanno@med.m.chiba-u.ac.jp *************************************************************** Hello all- I'm writing an article for The Scientist (http://www.the-scientist library.upenn.edu/) about centrifuges: the products that are out there and new research directions. I'd like to hear from research scientists who have something to say about their instruments: do you like it? hate it? What features do you like or dislike in models you work with? I'm looking for user comments to supplement company information for my article. I'm intereted in any and all kinds of centrifuges, from microfuges all the way up to process. And if you're involved in the development of new centrifuge applications, I'd like to hear about it. Please respond to jkling@nasw.org Jim Kling science/medical writing Bellingham, WA jkling@pacificrim.net http://nasw.org/users/jkling ************************************************************** Sir I am a medical oncologistd involved in experimental research of microsatellites instability in solid tumors. We are just developing a program in this field and it would be very useful for me to know how to get sequences of primers used to study microsatellites. In many articles is reported only the name of microsatellites with no data on sequences. thank you very much with kind regards Francesco Graziano Dept. of Onco-Hematology Hospital of Pesaro Italy ************************************************************** I am a Ph.D. in biological field with several year experience in molecular biology and biochemistry. I am interested to engage in clinical molecular genetics. But I do not know how to get involved in to this field. could you be kind enough to let me know to whom I have to contact with especially in the New York city where I live. Thanks in advance!

I am interested in how to calculate risks in genetic counseling. Web resources would be particularly helpful. Any info or pointers are deeply appreciated. Joel Zhou jyzhou@ucsd.edu *************************************************************** tim.whiting@ukbla71.zeneca.com (Tim Whiting) sent the following comments: ------------------------------------------------------------ Genotyping for Factor V Leiden is already being offered by laboratories in Europe and the US. I'm interested in hearing views on how this trend will develop in the future, prefered methods of performing the test and what would be the method and format requirement you would want to perform routine screening for this mutation. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
