I would like to find out how to use the Lander MAPMAKER program to
analyze F2 intercross data for mapping when the homozygous recessive
for one marker is partially lethal. For example, when that marker gives a

distorted Mendelian ratio of (say) 7:1 in F2, instead of 3:1, due to partial
embryo lethality. I would appreciate if someone comments on this.
Thanks.

	 I am posting for a friend that will soon take the responsability of  a

Dear netters,

I am looking for code, preferably in C, that will read in a PDB protein file,
create bond vectors, allow one to perform torsional rotations about
desired bonds, and then output the new coordinates.

I know how to rotate a vector, as in rotating bonds about some torsion angle,
but I don't have code to read in a PDB file and connect the atoms into bond
vectors. I could do the torsion rotations once the vectors were established,
so I really only need the code to read a PDB file and create the bond
vectors.

I have access to a commercial molecular modeling program, but I would then
have to sit at the console to do the rotations.

Please respond to rrk@sb.fsu.edu.

Thanks,
Randy

The following report is now available, please submit requests
to:  wertli@inf.ethz.ch

184     Lukas Knecht, Gaston H. Gonnet: Alignment of Nucleotide with Peptide
Sequences

The alignment of a nucleotide (DNA/RNA) with a peptide sequence (protein)
is usually computed by translating the open reading frames of the
nucleotide sequence into hypothetical proteins, then aligning each protein
with the peptide sequence. Such an approach however cannot properly handle
base indels or introns that change the nucleotide's reading frame.
The dynamic programming algorithm presented here simultaneously translates
the nucleotide sequence and aligns it to the peptide sequence, thereby
considering all reading frames in every step, and in effect finds the
optimal reading frames. The algorithm can be efficiently implemented. With
a nucleotide sequence of m bases and a peptide sequence of n amino acids,
its time complexity is O(mn). It has been successfully applied to searching
for similarities between yeast chromosome III and known proteins.

This algorithm is implemented and available in the Darwin system.

I did a survey quite a while back and still have the suggestions made
back then, but feel free to mail me (privately don't post here
please).  

My first targets will be the top journals like Science, Nature, PNAS,
etc. that everyone looks at before I try to get smaller, more
specialized journals, but we will also, of course, have to be lucky.
Not all publishers agree to supply this info as it does cost them some
amount of money to produce and send it out to me.  On the other hand
it is a form of "advertising" for them.

No.  I have made arrangements with the publishers to provide them

starting to expand these offerings over the next few months now that

Hi BioNetFolk,

I posted a BLAZE search to genbank.bio.net only to recieve a permission denied

I know of at least four graduate programs with explicit emphasis on
bioinformatics:

* University of Pittsburgh (in conjunction with Carnegie Mellon). A new program
  in computational biology, funded by the Keck Foundation. For information on
  that program, contact Bruce Buchanan (buchanan@cs.pitt.edu).

* George Mason University.  A new program in Computational Science and
  Informatics.  [I am currently teaching the bioinformatics course there.]  For
  more information, contact Harold Morowitz (hmorowitz@gmuvax.gmu.edu).

* Washington State University, Pullman.  A program in computational science
  including biology that has been going for at least three years.  For more
  information, contact Keith Dunker (dunker@bobcat.csc.wsu.edu).

* Washington University, St. Louis.  They have just instituted a new Institute
  for Biological Computing, which will begin admitting students next fall.  For
  more information contact David States (states@wucs1.wustl.edu).

In addition, there are some longstanding programs in medical informatics that
now include some emphasis on computational biology:

* Stanford Medical School.  One nation's best medical informatics program,
  recently hired Russ Altman to teach computational biology.  For information,
  contact Ted Shortliffe (shortliffe@sumex-aim.stanford.edu)

* Yale Medical School.  Also has expanded its informatics program to include
  computational biology.  For information, contact Perry Miller
  (miller@med.yale.edu)

And there are many departments of computer science or biology which offer the
possibility of pursuing studies in computational biology.  This is certainly
not an exhaustive list.  My appologies to anyone I left out.

Colin,

Later on this fall, the latest edition of Genome Maps (edited by Stephen J.
O'Brien, Frederick Cancer Research Institute, Frederick, MD) will be published.
This will have a chapter containing data on all PCR-detected polymorphisms (the
vast majority of which are microsatellites) stored in GDB, as of Sept. 1, 1992.
The data will include primer sequences, max heterozygosity, number of alleles,
cytogenetic location, locus symbol and locus name.

If you need further information regarding this data, please contact me
directly. My email address is: chipper@welchgate.welch.jhu.edu
