From: Sunil Maulik <MAULIK@BIONET-20.ARPA> The next few messages posted to the RESEARCH-NEWS Bulletin Board (BBoard), describe attempts by BIONET together with subscribers to the BIONET BBoards to initiate, via electronic mail, an "On-Line" Conference or Discussion. The subject of this discussion has been chosen as "Computer Applications in the Sequencing of Large Genomes" (CSLG). The first two messages introduce some of the contributors, and the next few include their commentary on this subject. Finally, questions raised by the contributors are posted for discussion. BIONET strongly encourages readers of this BBoard to post their own comments, suggestions, criticisms, or questions by mailing to RESEARCH-NEWS(@BIONET-20 .ARPA). Those actively involved in this area, either in software development, database management, or in sequencing and analyzing genomes, are particularly encouraged to respond. If you would like to add an extended commentary, please mail it, along with a biographical note, to MAULIK(@BIONET-20.ARPA). I will reformat it and re-mail it to the BBoard. If you would simply like to respond to the on-going commentary and questions, simply mail directly to RESEARCH-NEWS. I would also encourage all contributors to monitor progress on this BBoard and to answer/extend any responses that arise. Sincerely, Sunil Maulik ARPAnet: Maulik@bionet-20.arpa Senior Scientific Consultant BITnet: Maulik%bionet-20.arpa@wiscvm.bitnet BIONET (415)-324-4363 -------
