There have been no changes in the BIOSCI newsgroups information sheet
since last month. A copy will follow this message.
HOWEVER ...
After our recent usage survey, the BIOSCI managers decided to do a bit
of pruning of inactive newsgroups. The following changes will go into
effect on 31 October 1990 (Halloween 8-):
The following newsgroups will be closed due to lack of use:
BIO-CONVERSION (bionet.technology.conversion)
RESEARCH-NEWS (bionet.molbio.news)
BIOTECH (bionet.techology.general)
PIR (bionet.molbio.pir)
SWISS-PROT (bionet.molbio.swiss-prot)
The last two newsgroups (PIR and SWISS-PROT) will have their mailing
addresses redirected to the PROTEIN-ANALYSIS newsgroup
(bionet.molbio.proteins) in the event that these older addressed are
used by anyone. The staff at both the PIR and SWISS-PROT data banks
have agreed to this change. BIOSCI users will still be able to post
messages about these data banks to the PROTEIN-ANALYSIS newsgroup.
If you have been a subscriber to either SWISS-PROT or PIR, but not to
PROTEIN-ANALYSIS, we urge you to request a subscription to the latter
newsgroup by sending your request to one of the following addresses
(NOT to this newsgroup, please!) depending upon your location:
Address Location Network
------- -------- -------
biosci@irlearn.ucd.ie Ireland EARN/BITNET
biosci@uk.ac.daresbury U.K. JANET
biosci@bmc.uu.se Sweden Internet
biosci@genbank.bio.net U.S.A. Internet/BITNET
As of November 1st, the new list of newsgroups will be as follows:
BBOARD NAME TOPIC
----------- -----
AGEING Scientific Interest Group
AGROFORESTRY Scientific Interest Group
BIONAUTS Address & other info about biologists on networks
BIONEWS General announcements of widespread
interest to biologists
BIO-JOURNALS Tables of Contents of biological journals
BIO-MATRIX Applications of computers to biological databases
BIO-SOFTWARE Information on software for the
biological sciences
EMBL-DATABANK Messages to and from the EMBL database staff
EMPLOYMENT Job opportunities
GENBANK-BB Messages to and from the GenBank database staff
GENOMIC-ORGANIZATION Scientific Interest Group
HUMAN-GENOME-PROGRAM NIH-sponsored newsgroup on human genome issues
METHODS-AND-REAGENTS Requests for information and lab reagents
MOLECULAR-EVOLUTION Scientific Interest Group
POPULATION-BIOLOGY Scientific Interest Group
PROTEIN-ANALYSIS Scientific Interest Group
SCIENCE-RESOURCES Information from/about the funding agencies

A new group for mapping and sequencing of Chromosome 22 has been added to the BIOSCI list. The Internet, BITNET, and USENET names are respectively: CHROMOSOME-22 CHROM-22 bionet.genome.chrom22 We prefer that you receive BIOSCI newsgroups via USENET news software. However if you require an e-mail subscription, please contact one of the following addresses depending upon your location/network: Address Location Network ------- -------- ------- biosci@irlearn.ucd.ie Ireland EARN/BITNET biosci@uk.ac.daresbury U.K. JANET biosci@bmc.uu.se Sweden Internet biosci@genbank.bio.net U.S.A.

The line describing the following newsgroup was changed from CHROMOSOME-22 Mapping and Sequencing of Chromosome 22 to CHROMOSOME-22 Mapping and Sequencing of Human Chromosome 22 There were no changes to the BIOSCI newsgroups themselves this month.

To simplify e-mail addressing, the BIOSCI BITNET names have now been implemented at all four BIOSCI sites. There is no longer any need to use Internet addresses at some sites and BITNET addresses at others. The BIOSCI info sheet (in a subsequent posting) has been revised to reflect this change. The Internet addresses are still functional at both bmc.uu.se and genbank.bio.net but they will not be advertised in the future. For example, whereas previously one posted to bio-software@bmc.uu.se (Internet) and bio-soft@irlearn.ucd.ie (BITNET), now one may use the bio-soft@xxx format at any of the four sites. Four new newsgroups have been added to the BIOSCI newsgroups: Name: GENETIC-LINKAGE Address: GEN-LINK USENET: bionet.molbio.gene-linkage Description: discussions about genetic linkage analysis Name: ARABIDOPSIS Address: ARAB-GEN USENET: bionet.genome.arabidopsis Description: information about the Arabidopsis genome project Name: COMPUTATIONAL-BIOLOGY Address: COMP-BIO USENET: bionet.biology.computational Description: computer and mathematical applications in biology Name: NEUROSCIENCE Address: NEUR-SCI USENET: bionet.neuroscience Description: research issues in the neurosciences Note that the COMP-BIO newsgroup is moderated, i.e., postings to that group are directed to the moderators (rather than directly to the group itself) for later posting. The moderators are Phil Curtiss of the University of Maryland (curtiss@umiacs.umd.edu) and Matthew Witten of the Unversity of Texas (m.witten@cerberus.chpc.utexas.edu). The NEUROSCIENCE newsgroup follows our usual format but James Olds at NIH (olds@helix.nih.gov) will be the group discussion leader. His task will be to stimulate use of the group. The ARABIDOPSIS newsgroup is being transferred to BIOSCI from Michigan State University where it was previously managed by Chris Somerville. The list at MSU will be shut down shortly. The GENETIC-LINKAGE newsgroup will be overseen by Steve Bryant of the Imperial Cancer Research Fund in the U.K. This group is currently open but may be changed to a moderated forum in the future. Instructions on how to post to these newsgroups is provided in the BIOSCI information sheet which follows in a later posting. Sincerely, Dave Kristofferson GenBank Manager kristoff@genbank.bio.net
