You might well encounter some problems mailing to this address:
- We are commercial and there might be political problems (I hope not)
- Part of the transmission has to involve PSS (I think BT insist) and
this probably means someone has to pay
- Our X25 is problematical at present!
I am however very keen on developing an electronic Club for UK macromolecualr sc
s to the Protein Engineering Club.
IWe are also hoping to mount our software at daresbury soon (as well as distribu
ting it more widely) and hope that that might become some sort of focus. Do you
run any sort of interactive bulletin board at Cambridge or is it all by mail to
identified recipients?
For this year (1988) I am seconded to York and it is probably safer to mail me

It seems that "life scientists" are really beginning to get organised
on the network. I offer the following note for your general information.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%EXTRACT%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Subject: File from LifeSci: "INTRO HELPLSCI"
<< LifeSci >>
Introduction
18 Jan 1988
LifeSci is short for 'The Life Science Research Server' and is a
dedicated computer program developed at the Rappaport Institute and
running on the main computer at Technion, Israel (RPRLSCI@TECHNION.BITNET).
It's purpose is to enhance communication and research among people
in the life related fields (medicine, physiology, psychology, social
work etc..) who work far from each other and can benefit forming
international work groups and 'Think-Tank' with their colleagues.
The audience LifeSci was written for know little about computers and
are too busy to learn, they want simple access without having to
bother with the internal works of the system.
General description
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
o DIGEST server
Digests are computerized magazines, they do not appear in paper
form but exist as electronic media. A group of people interested in a common
topic can create their own little paper, its as simple as saying 'CREATE
TOPIC ION-CHANNEL' and every one can do it. Create your own or join an
existing topic, a digest can have an editor or be an open forum.
Unlike its paper counterparts all digests are archived and indexed and can
be retrieved using simple search commands.
o NAMES server
To locate people from other places according to their name or
interest is one of the prime objectives. As you join, you will be asked to
fill up a registry form with your vital statistics, interests and area of
expertise.
o APPLICATION server
If you need a special computer program to do a special part of an
experiment, preform a special analysis or run laboratory equipment there is
a fair chance some one already written it or something similar elsewhere, so
why reinvent the wheel? LifeSci will not keep the programs themselves but
will keep record of computer applications developed elsewhere with
instructions on how to get them, whom to contact and what you need to use
it.
o CONFERENCE server
'Chatting' is the interactive sending and receiving of computer
messages, more then two people can chat using special relay machines.
Registered users of LifeSci will be able to hold conferences by calling
members of their TOPIC. The discussion of work group can be distributed as a
digest to the missing members.
o BBOARD
Just a small bulletin board to spread the word around, the BBoard
is a public clipboard to post messages of public interest.

IBI is getting ready to release it's MAC version of it's IBM software.
This should occur sometime this summer. I've seen a very beta copy and it
looks alot like the IBM PC "screen".
There is a fellow working in MIT's Center for Cancer Research who is
working on a program to do cloning. I'm not sure he's ready to release
his program and I'm not in a position to make his name public.

CHANGES TO 'BRUNEP' ELECTRONIC JOURNAL at BRISTOL
-------------------------------------------------
The new Bulletin Board, in the form of an electronic
journal at Bristol can now accept either FULL PAPERS or SUMMARIES
of recently published, or future, communications.
The Journal is open to receive contributions on any scientific subject.
Publication in the Journal is still FREE and submissions are urgently required.
The Journal is not a 'chat-show' but BRUNEP now provides facilities,
in the form of a 'forum', for more trivial comments and information exchange.
Contributions to the Journal, which cannot be entered directely by
the contributor, should be sent EITHER by electronic mail to:
BRUNEP at UK.AC.BRISTOL
OR, by post, as a plain-ASCII text file on
IBM-compatible 360Kb 5.25-inch floppy disc, to:
The Editor, BRUNEP, The Department of Microbiology,
The University of Bristol, BS8 1TD. U.K. (Telephone 272-303500)
Papers should preferably be in English, but papers in other European
languages may be submitted.
The Journal can be read, and users can participate in to the 'forum',
by simply logging-in to the Bristol Mainframe.
We are connected to the academic network JANET (UK.AC.BRISTOL.MULTICS)
and can also be reached from PSS using the JANET gateway address
23421920014869
followed by
.00006021000100

Martin, I have tried to find out from our computer staff if it is possible to
use the new EMBL file server from Leicester. They say not since JANET uses an
X.25 protocol that is incompatible with the requirements of the process. What
do you suggest for those of us who are not hard-wired to EARN.

DEAR Dr. Bishop,
I have read with interest recent articles in Binary concerning
the Seqnet bulletin board for molecular biologists. In this department
myself and several collegues are involved in cloning and sequencing the
surface proteins of a number of pathogenic bacteria and viruses. I feel
that we are not yet making fullest use of data and programmes which may
be available elsewhere. I would therefore be grateful if it were possible
for me to recieve the information on the seqnet bulletin board.
I have also seen in Binary a list of molecular biology programmes
which are available for PCs and I would be grateful for any further
information if this has been updated recently.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Yours sincerely

You might well encounter some problems mailing to this address:
- We are commercial and there might be political problems (I hope not)
- Part of the transmission has to involve PSS (I think BT insist) and
this probably means someone has to pay
- Our X25 is problematical at present!
I am however very keen on developing an electronic Club for UK macromolecualr sc
s to the Protein Engineering Club.
IWe are also hoping to mount our software at daresbury soon (as well as distribu
ting it more widely) and hope that that might become some sort of focus. Do you
run any sort of interactive bulletin board at Cambridge or is it all by mail to
identified recipients?

Douglas Kell:re-FAD synthesis with C. kluyveri
Sorry I have been so long in replying, but I have been out of town
for a while and haven't had a chance to check my mail. To remind you of my
problem.....I am interested in synthesizing 2-C14-FAD from 2-C14-ribolflavin.
One published procedure is to incubate Clostridium kluyveri with C14-riboflavina
suggestions from other groups and apparently the approach used now is to
produce an "FAD synthetase" complex from Brevibacterium ammoniagenes. I am
going to try this approach first before attempting to grow more bacteria.
anyway, if I have anymore trouble I may be in touch. Thankyou for your
responce.

Dear Rich Roberts!
I am sorry that my restriction enzyme lists were announced in Bionet as
better than yours. This has never been my intention. Clearly, I myself do not
intensely collect information on restriction enzymes, but try to combine yours
and Kesslers data with some generally available information (publications and
enzyme catalogues) and make them available to users of the PIR and UWGCG
package. Thus, my lists are secondary information and cannot be proposed as a
substitute for the primary data collection. A separate notice of this will be
sent to Seqnet and thus will be distributed through Bionet. I hope that this
makes things clear between us and for the scientific community.
As David George pointed out, many secondary distributors step in to fill a
perceived need. This is exactly what happened to me. Here in Martinsried, we
use the PIR and UWGCG software and detected that the enzyme lists were
inadequate. Thus, I prepared a local update and made it available to the
scientific community so that other scientists do not need to do the same.
I do not see a reason why you cannot prepare the restriction enzyme list in
the format required by the PIR and UWGCG software yourself. Your database
output is very flexible as you say. Please look at their format, prepare the
output and send it to both groups. If you do, there is no need for me to
continue with my redistribution of data. To my knowledge, you did not offer
this in the past.
David made a strong point for a standardized format also for your restriction
enzyme database. You will remember that I made a similar proposal some time
ago. Let me explain why I still feel this to be a necessary topic. It is our
historical bad experience With the sequence databases.
PIR and UWGCG had inconsistent formats some years ago (luckily solved by now).
At that time, the sequence databases were distributed together with the
software. Due to this, different database releases were accessed by the
different software packages. This situation was very confusing and
unsatisfactory. Therefore we decided to get a copy directly from the primary
database and to reformat it locally.
If you would prepare the restriction enzyme files in the different formats
yourself, we would run into the same problem again. Therefore, it seems better
to have an updated release of your database in a standard format locally, and
to have software for transformation. This software would be specific to the
software package and could be distributed with it. Thus each institute could
generate the required lists locally and have the same enzymes available for
all their program packages.
As you can see, the lack of standards causes a lot of confusion. I wonder why
Bionet is still not using the IUPAC nomenclature for ambiguous nucleotide
symbols. This standard is now several years old and should definitively be
adopted by all sequence analysis software packages. Lack of standardization,
especially concerning data format, is a severe problem in all existing
biological databases. As David pointed out already, the PIR, MIPS and JIPID
protein sequence databases try to avoid this problem by close cooperation.
During the last months, I could not get hold of your lists from yourself, but
received more or less updated versions floating around. Thus, EMBL still seems
to distribute a list from beginning of 1987. I recieved the list you recently
sent to Kessler at Boehringer, which seems to be a very recent version, only a
few days ago. I have not yet managed to compare the data and to update my
lists.
How far are you with the Oracle database system? We are still in the process
of implementation, because my major task is to participate in the organization
of the MIPS protein sequence database, and restriction enzymes are only a
minor activity. It would be nice, if you and Kessler could agree on a format
for data exchange, so that comparison of the data by computer becomes
possible.
You stated that Kessler's data are not reliable and incomplete. How much do
you collect data on methylases and on sensitivity to methylation of
restriction enzymes. This is a major point in Kesslers lists. His system
discriminates between inhibitory, tolerated, required and undocumented for RE.
He also discriminated between different types of modification (pos 4 and 5 of
cytosine are currently known, but probably more types of modifiaction will be
detected in the future).
I am completely confused with your abbreviations of commercial companies. The
enzyme list received via Kessler has L = PL-Pharmacia-LKB and P = Promega,
while the list received today via David George has P = Pharmacia P-L and R =
Promega. My intention is to use the same abbreviation as you, but this is
difficult if you are inconsistent with yourself. After talking to Kessler,
I have adopted the abbreviations you sent to him, and have extended this list
as necessary. Here is my current version. Please comment if you want any
changes. Which of your abbreviations will be used in the future?

I'm looking for software that can capture an EGA screen in a file format
that can subsequently be massaged into a bit-mapped image for printing
in a Macintosh system - as a 'paint' type file, on the laserwriter. Has
anyone come across such software. The file trasnfer is no problem as we use a
TOPS network - its the initial capture/file conversion that is causing
problems.

These Tables are supplied with the understanding that they can be freely used
for research, although if quoted in any publication a suitable acknowledgement
(e.g. Michael Ashburner, personal communication) would be appreciated.
I will automatically post new versions on the SEQNET and BIONET Bulletin
Boards. These will generally be compiled whenever enough new data warrents
the work. I am very happy to include new sequences that have not yet made
the Sequence Data Banks, if these can be sent to me by electronic mail
with sufficient data for the coding sequences to be extracted. If anyone
should need the files of coding sequences that have been used to generate
these tables please send me a message.
Two series of Tables are included, one for "host" genes and one for orfs carried
by transposable elements. For each series you have a codon table, a base
composition and the names of the sequences used to compile these.
By and large these sequences are taken from the EMBL, GENBANK or DAYHOFF
Libraries. However some have been privately communicated to me. All sequences
have been checked that they translate but many are incomplete. Hence, for
example, the number of sequences is greater than the number of TER codons.
The latest versions of the databanks used are EMBL V15.0 and GENBANK V55.0.

THE NEW BIOTECHNOLOGY INFORMATION SERVICE NEWSLETTER
Welcome to Biotechnology Information News, the successor to EBIP
News. The new title reflects our transformation from EBIP to the
Biotechnology Information Service, now fully funded by the British
Library. The aim of the Newsletter is to give readers news about the
Biotechnology Information Service, and the British Library in general,
and also to cover biotechnology in the wider world - industry, science
and information systems. We welcome contributions from readers,
whether to comment on past articles or to raise new issues.
The Biotechnology Information Service is presently concentrating its
energies in three areas: a help desk, publications and courses.
We will attempt to answer any biotechnology queries, using the vast
collection at the Science Reference and Information Service. We have
special knowledge of this field and the people who work in it and we can
usually supply information or suggest suitable resources to deal with a
particular problem. Our number is 01 323 7293.
Biotech Knowledge Sources (BKS) is a major new publication which in-
corporates, and extends, our earlier publications, Market Research
Reports and Forthcoming Conferences and Courses. See below for more
details.
The Biotechnology Information Service holds a regular seminar giving
a general introduction to biotechnology information. The latest, held
on 26 January, was well attended and we are grateful to delegates for
the feedback they provided through the evaluation forms. This informa-
tion will be very useful for shaping future seminars. The next seminar
is on 7 July and further details can be found below. Another seminar will be
held on 24 November. We are also considering ways of expanding our seminar
programme, possibly by introducing a new seminar devoted to a
specialist area within biotechnology, such as business information.
Details of new developments will be announced in Biotechnology In-
formation News.

MICROBIAL DATA SYSTEMS
A. Microbial Culture Information Service (MiCIS)
The Microbial Culture Information Service (MiCIS) is a project
funded by the Department of Trade and Industry. It is part of the
Biotechnology Research Group at the Laboratory of the Government
Chemist (LGC). We originally reported on the early stages of the
project (EBIP News No. 13, March 1987) when Geraldine Alliston was in
charge. Mrs Alliston has now moved on, and her successor will arrive
shortly.
Most of the data has now been loaded including records from the
following collections: National Collection of Type Cultures, National
Collection of Pathogenic Fungi, National Collection of Industrial
Bacteria, National Collection of Marine Bacteria, National Collection
of Food Bacteria, National Collection of Yeast Cultures and CAB
International Mycological Institute collection. The latter two collec-
tions were added by direct conversion of existing computer records.
Still awaiting keyboarding are the Culture Collection for Algae and
Protozoa (now in 2 sections, one for marine algae and one for
freshwater algae and protozoa) and the National Collection of Wood
Rotting Fungi (due to move to the Building Research Establishment site
at Garston, Watford in the next year or so).
Data is collected by two teams of 2 people each who work at the
centres in turn, converting records into a computer format. The
records are then loaded into the multiuser relational database manage-
ment system running on the mini-computer at the LGC.
To facilitate retrieval the index terms are validated and checked
against lists of controlled terms covering chemical names and other
keywords, and the names of organisms.
For an annual subscription of 200 a year the user has online access
to the database, a user guide which includes a list of all the
preferred terms used in indexing, and customer support services. It is
not necessary to have facilities for a computer link-up to search
MiCIS. Postal subscribers pay 200 annually and then a flat rate of
10 per search carried out by MiCIS staff. Casual enquiries will also
be carried out for non-subscribers a cost of 50 each.
For more information contact Jane Bonner, MiCIS Database
Administrator, Laboratory of the Government Chemist, Cornwall House,
Waterloo Road, London SE1 8XY (Tel: 01 211 0323).
B. Update on Microbial Information Network Europe (MINE)
by Rhonda Platt,
MINE Project Administrator at CAB International Mycological Institute,
Ferry Lane, Kew, Surrey TW9 3AF
MINE is an Integrated Catalogue Project, incorporating a European
Network of Microbial Culture Collection Databanks. This project is
funded by the EEC Biotechnology Action Programme and the objective is
to establish a computer network of microbial information across
Europe. Since the beginning of 1988 two more European countries have
joined the project bringing the total to seven European partners; Bel-
gium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and the UK.
CAB International Mycological Institute is acting as the UK node,
and 10 UK collections, including the CMI Culture Collection, are par-
ticipating in this node. Keyboarding and computer transfer of collec-
tion data is underway on those collections not available on MiCIS. It
is hoped that MiCIS data can be directly downloaded to the CAB Inter-
national VAX 11/780-8250 computer cluster and avoid duplication of ef-
fort.
The UK Node may store as much data as the individual collection
wishes, but once all data is stored on the VAX, a Minimum Data Set
(MDS) only will be transferred to other nodes. Hence, when all nodes
have exchanged MDS's, each node will hold on its own computer (VAX or
VAX compatible) a European database. People wishing to access the
database will therefore contact their local node. If the information
required is not within the scope of the MDS, the enquirer will be
referred to the holding collection or MiCIS as appropriate. MiCIS will
hold full strain data of all UK national culture collections. Although
MINE may hold extensive strain data at node level, the eventual
European database held at each node will contain the Minimum Data Set
only.
Those who wish to study the Minimum Data Set will be able to do so
in the near future in the Journal of General Microbiology which will
be publishing a paper by W.Gams et al, "Fungal and yeast strain data
in MINE". A similar paper will be published later for bacteria. The
MDS contains 30 fields on: Computer details, Name, Strain details,
Status, Environment and History, Biological Interactions, Sexuality,
Genotype and Genetics, Growth Conditions and Practical Applications.
Full integration of the MDS's of each node should be completed by
the end of 1989.

BIOTECH KNOWLEDGE SOURCES
January saw the launch of Biotech Knowledge Sources (BKS), a new cur-
rent awareness journal produced by the British Library Biotechnology
Information Service in collaboration with BioCommerce Data Ltd. Over
recent years, there has been a marked increase in the number of publi-
cations in biotechnology. This is anticipated to continue as biotech-
nology grows and impacts on other established industries. Therefore,
to save you time, and save your organisation money, this unique serv-
ice gives a comprehensive monthly listing of new books, journals and
market research reports in the field of of biotechnology. BKS also
lists forthcoming conferences up to six months ahead. Every issue con-
tains, wherever possible, full address information to enable readers
to make further enquiries about publication or conference registration
details. There are 12 issues per year.
The information is obtained by scanning online databases,
publishers' catalogues, journals and press releases. Details of
electronic publications and audiovisual material are also included.
For a limited period we are offering readers of Biotechnology Infor-
mation News the first year's subscription at the special introductory
rate of 89. If you would like to place an order or make further en-
quiries please contact Dr Anita Crafts-Lighty, BioCommerce Data Ltd,
Old Crown Building, Windsor Road, Slough SL1 2DY, UK (Tel: 0753 74201,
Fax:0753 31145).

DOCUMENT SUPPLY CENTRE
The British Library Document Supply Centre is an important resource
for libraries throughout the UK and abroad. It holds current subscrip-
tions to 54,000 journal titles and its total holdings occupy over 90
miles of shelf space. It routinely turns requests around within 2
days. If that is not fast enough Special Services can retrieve ar-
ticles on the spot and send them out the same day, by post or by fax.
DSC can also help with current awareness, through its publications
and other services. Conference proceedings, for example, often bring
together useful contributions but may not be easy to trace. Only 30%
are published as books, the remainder appear within journals. All
material arriving at DSC is scanned to produce the monthly publication
Index of Conference Proceedings Received. Here can be found the full
title of a conference, date, location and publication details. The
records are indexed by keywords extracted from the title. The monthly
issues are cumulated annually and, for the years 1964-81, there is a
single cumulation on microfiche. It is a comprehensive guide to con-
ferences in its own right, as well as being an index of material at
DSC available for loan.
Current Research in Britain is published annually by DSC and gives
details of research projects at universities, polytechnics and other
institutions throughout the UK. The information is organised by re-
search centre but there are full indexes to investigators, subject
areas and research topics. There are separate volumes on Biological
Sciences and Physical Sciences and each lists a large number of
entries under the subject area Biotechnology. The latest edition ap-
peared in 1987.
The Medical Information Service prepares current awareness bulletins
based on records compiled for the Medline database. Typical subject
areas are Cytodiagnosis, Health Care in Britain and Psychotherapy.
There are an increasing number of research theses being written on
biotechnology. Much of the data presented in them may not be published
elsewhere. DSC microfilms most UK doctoral theses (around 6000 per
year) and copies are available for loan. Interesting titles may be
found through DSC's monthly publication British Reports, Translations
and Theses. This information is also available on the SIGLE database
on BLAISE-LINE.
For more information on these and other current awareness services,
please contact Customer Services, British Library, Document Supply
Centre, Boston Spa, Wetherby, W.Yorkshire LS23 7BQ.

NEW COMPANIES
Bioseparation Associates was launched in February 1988 and is based
in Livingstone, Scotland. The company has start-up funds of 3.5 mil-
lion, a porportion of which was contributed
by Guinness Mahon Development Capital, a venture capital company. It
aims to recover useful products from abattoir blood by means of a spe-
cial microfilter. At present the two main areas of interest are animal
feed supplements and nutrient additives for tissue culture estimated
to have a world market in excess of 100 million.
Oxford Glycosystems, formed by a collaboration between Oxford
University's Biochemistry Department and the giant American drug com-
pany, Monsanto will develop and market products for the research and
clinical community for use in carbohydrate technology.. The company is
expected to have a turnover of 25 million within five years.

The following announcement is being posted at the BIONET National
Computer Resource for Molecular Biology in California, the University
of Maryland BIOTECH bboard service, the University of Uppsala in
Sweden, and on the SEQNET service in Cambridge, England. From these
initial sites it will be distributed to other institutions around the
world.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The International BIOSCI Electronic Bulletin Board Network
__________________________________________________________
A new international molecular biology electronic bulletin board
("bboard") network is being established. The name of this new bboard
network will be BIOSCI, and its goal is to allow researchers easy
access to scientific bulletin boards at local or regional sites
("nodes") on an accessible network. These nodes will establish a
routing system which will automatically forward local bboard messages
to the corresponding bboard at all other nodes. Scientists will thus
be able to communicate directly with their colleagues around the world
without specializing in network esoterica. They will also be able to
participate in only the special interest groups (see the initial list
below) that they desire to see.
Messages to the bboards are posted without editorial intervention.
This policy will be maintained until traffic reaches a level at which
editorial moderation needs to be established.
As the first step in implementing this scheme, the bulletin boards
maintained presently by the BIONET National Computer Resource for
Molecular Biology in the U.S.A. will be expanded to include the
participation of other sites. BIONET's first collaborator in this new
venture is the Biomedical Center at the University of Uppsala in
Sweden. In the near future BIOTECH at the University of Maryland and
SEQNET in the U.K. will also join. From now until July BIOTECH will
receive messages from each of the bboards listed below and will
archive them under the respective categories in their list server
which is accessible to both BITNET and Internet users. After that
time BIOTECH will have software in place to both receive and forward
separate bboards to other sites. SEQNET in England is also acquiring
new hardware for bboard distribution, and the European Molecular
Biology Laboratory and the University of Joensuu in Finland have also
expressed an interest in participating. Other sites are invited to
participate if they possess the necessary hardware and software for
multiple bboard distribution (please contact
kristofferson@bionet-20.arpa or mats@bmc.BMC1.UU.SE).
The current list of bboards follows but other topics will be added as
demand requires. Users can post messages to any of the boards below
by mailing to the appropriate address at either BIONET or the
University of Uppsala (whichever is more convenient). Each bboard
address consists of the bboard name from the list below followed by
the host name of the University of Uppsala or BIONET computer. For
example, the PLANT-MOLECULAR-BIOLOGY bboard can be accessed by mailing
to either plant-molecular-biology@bmc1.BMC.UU.SE or
plant-molecular-biology@bionet-20.arpa. EARN users can mail to the
abbreviated address (<= 8 characters / bboard name) at the University
of Uppsala.

Martin,
Would you post this announcement about our file server upgrade on SEQNET
please. (It's finally accessible from JANET!)
Thanks,
Dave.
//
EMBL Network File Server
------------------------
We are pleased to be able to announce a major upgrade to the EMBL file server.
The server now accepts STANDARD ELECTRONIC MAIL, sent either over BITNET/EARN
or FROM ANY OTHER NETWORK WHICH HAS A GATEWAY INTO BITNET/EARN. This means, to
take just two examples, that users in the UK connected to JANET and users in
the USA connected to ARPANET can now use the file server.
You should send mail to the BITNET/EARN address NETSERV@EMBL; it should be
formatted with one file server command per line. The most important command,
to get you started, is HELP. If the file server receives this command, it will
return a help file to you, explaining in some detail what you can do with the
server and how to use it.
Please note that the operating system command you use to send mail to a
BITNET/EARN address, and the way in which you format the address NETSERV@EMBL,
will depend both on the computer you are using and on the network to which it
is connected. If you don't already know how to send mail to a BITNET/EARN
address, we suggest that you contact your local computer service; if all else
fails, contact the Data Library and we will do our best to help.
For example, suppose you are using a VAX/VMS system which is a BITNET/EARN node
running JNET software. In this case you would use the VMS MAIL command to send
mail to the server. If you wanted to send a HELP command, your session on the
VAX would look like this (user input in lowercase):
$ MAIL
MAIL> send
To: jnet%"netserv@embl"
Subj:
help
<ctrl/z>
If the command you use to send mail allows you to specify a "subject", as in
the above example, then please note that anything you specify as the "subject"
will be treated as a file server command.
Those of you who have already used the server, by sending interactive messages
over BITNET/EARN, should note that this access method is still available.
However, it offers no advantages over standard electronic mail and we would
recommend that you switch to the latter.
We would like to emphasise that you can use the file server to download
sequences added to the EMBL database since the current release was distributed,
in addition to the sequences in the current release itself.
We are well aware that the file server is not (yet!) perfect, and are planning
several enhancements. The most important ones are to give users direct access
to sequences by accession number as well as by entry name, and to make index
files available which cover just those sequences added to the database since
the current release was distributed. (Such index files would be much smaller
than the current ones, which cover all sequences in the database, and would
thus be sent much more quickly over computer networks.)
We hope to make progress on the question of direct access by accession number
in the not too distant future, and would like to draw your attention to the
fact that one of the index files (the catalogue of one-line entry descriptions)
is already available for new sequences only. The file DATALIB:NEWENTS.TXT
contains brief descriptions, entry names and sequence lengths for all those
sequences added to the database since the current release was distributed. Like
all of the other index files, it is updated daily to include all sequences
newly added to the database.
If you have any technical problems in accessing the file server then please
mail to POSTMASTER@EMBL.EARN. If you have any general comments about the file
server (or any other aspect of our services) then please send them to us; we
want to tailor our services to meet your requirements, and the more feedback we
get the better. We cannot undertake to respond personally to all comments,
but you can be sure that we want to know what you think!
