This may be a naive question, but... I need an estimate of the number of laboratories involved in molecular genetics for a proposal I am writing. I would prefer a breakdown by size of laboratory, nationality, and by percentage funding by the Human Genome Project, but I'd be happy just with a total number for either the US or the world. I'd be ecstatic if you happened to have a pointer to a published number. Please respond directly to me.

I guess I wasn't completely clear when I posted my previous request for the number of mol. gen. labs. I am only interested in pointers to compiled statistics. I am *not* conducting a poll. Please do not send mail of the form "Well, I don't know how many molecular geneticists there are, but our lab has four." I am well aware that a request for information posted to the USENET will not elicit a representative sample of the molbio community. On the other hand, if anyone had compiled statistics (for example: there are n Ph.D.'s in biology working in molecular genetics in the US, or k geneticists currently funded by the Human Genome Project) I'd be most appreciative.
