STEFFEN@BIONET-20.ARPA (03/29/88)
From: DAVID L. STEFFEN <STEFFEN@BIONET-20.ARPA> The reason there were no sequence files listed under raf, is that raf is a homologue of mil (raf was discovered in mice, mil in chickens) and all oncogene references are listed under mil. This raises three issues. 1) When looking for an oncogene in the postings on this bboard, check the AKA and HOM listings for the name. 2) I got the sense as I was researching the raf issue that raf may be a more common usage than mil. If I decide so, I will change how it is listed in the next revision of the tables. Comments solicited. 3) Perhaps I should cross index the tables somewhat more extensively. Comments solicited. -David Steffen, Oncogene Bboard leaders (mail address Steffen) -------
