[bionet.general] Header Info for GenBank Update Postings

elmo@uhura.cc.rochester.edu (Eric Cabot) (08/24/90)

Now that the update postings come as individual messages, they might be 
even more useful if the headers contained additional info such as
the organism and perhaps even the "gene".

As it is now, one must have checked the list of new and 
unicorporated sequences before hand to make efficient use of the 
hundreds of updates.

We intend to change the Subject: line shortly to include the
information on the GenBank DEFINITION line.  This should help resolve
your problem.

It looks as though you need the software to automatically process the 
newsfeed.  This is available for both UNIX and VMS and should be easily 
adapted for other OSs.
