kristoff@NET.BIO.NET (Dave Kristofferson) (08/25/88)
A new international BIOSCI bulletin board for the SWISS-PROT protein sequence database has been formed. It will be headed by Amos Bairoch of the University of Geneva who is the founder of SWISS-PROT. Dr. Bairoch has posted an introductory message to the bboard. BIONET users can see at login all new messages posted to this bboard by issuing the command DO SWISS-PROT after the @ prompt. The bboard can also be accessed by giving the command BB SWISS-PROT at the MM> prompt in the MM mail program. BIONET users can post messages to the bboard by mailing to the address SWISS-PROT. Scientists on other computers can access SWISS-PROT via the most convenient BIOSCI bboard network node. The access routes follow: swissprt@semax51.earn (EARN) swiss-prot@bmc1.bmc.uu.se (Internet in Europe) swissprt@uk.ac.daresbury (JANET in UK) swiss-prot@bionet-20.bio.net (Internet and BITNET in the Americas) Messages posted at any node are automatically relayed to the others. On USENET this newsgroup is available as bionet.molbio.swiss-prot. Sincerely, Dave Kristofferson BIONET Resource Manager kristofferson@bionet-20.bio.net
