This message is both a test and a welcome to scientists in the United Kingdom. Messages from the new International BIOSCI bboard network are now being carried at Daresbury in the United Kingdom. This message is being directed to a bulletin board on the BIONET computer in Mountain View, California and a copy of the note will be automatically posted on the corresponding bboard in Daresbury and at other BIOSCI nodes (below) around the world. Similarly, messages posted directly to Daresbury will be relayed to other BIOSCI nodes. All of the bboards listed below are now sent as separate mailings to Daresbury and instructions for SEQNET subscribers on participating in any or all of these groups will be posted soon. Other participating centers on the BIOSCI network are located at the Universities of Uppsala (Sweden) and Maryland as well as sites in Finland. A node in Israel is preparing to join the network soon and one may also be established at the EMBL in Heidelberg. The current list of BIOSCI bboards follows. Other topics may be added soon. We hope that this new service leads to the wider sharing of scientific information, the establishment of new collaborative ventures, and, ultimately, to exciting new advances in the biological sciences!
