kristoff@GENBANK.BIO.NET (Dave Kristofferson) (01/25/91)
Chris Sommerville at Michigan State University contacted me recently about having BIOSCI take over maintenance of an already established mailing list for the Arabidopsis Genome effort. Because BIOSCI is a collaborative effort, I am going to follow our usual procedure of first asking the permission of potential readers. If you are interested in participating in the group described below, please send a message containing the line Yes on Arabidopsis to one of the following addresses: Address Location Network ------- -------- ------- biovote@irlearn.ucd.ie Ireland EARN/BITNET biovote@uk.ac.daresbury U.K. JANET biovote@bmc.uu.se Sweden Internet biovote@genbank.bio.net U.S.A. Internet/BITNET As with the call for the Linkage newsgroup, I need 40 responses by 25 March 1991. Sincerely, Dave Kristofferson GenBank Manager kristoff@genbank.bio.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Arabidopsis newsgroup provides a forum for exchange of information among scientists working with the small crucifer Arabidopsis thaliana. During the first six months of operation there was a variety of messages which included: announcements from federal agencies about funding opportunities, announcements of postdoctoral positions, requests for protocols, requests for libraries, clones or strains, discussions about future meetings, the utility of various procedures, the organization of the Arabidopsis Genome Project and related issues. As of early January 1991, there were more than 220 subscribers from around the world.
