Organization: Texas A&M University

    Hello-
       I've developed two new methods of EEG analysis. One is a display
techinque similar to topographic mapping but easier to implement and less com-
plex. The other is a method to locate foci (focus) via principal component ana-
lysis. The first program uses 256 data points and the second requires 512 data
points. For more information send E-mail to N020BA@tamvm1.tamu.edu.
      (Note: Some people have already responded to this. To them, this is the
same software. I haven't produced another version-yet.)

Reply-To: pmb2@midway.uchicago.edu

Date: Fri, 21 Aug 1992 01:34:33 GMT

Hello, all--

I have just started using the Axon Instruments data analysis package, including
pCLAMP, FETCHAN, FETCHEX, pSTAT.  We would like to be able to export our
analysis to software other than pSTAT.  According to the manual, it is possible
to generate files with the extension .PAF which are in ascii format.  

Currently, it seems that only in pSTAT is there a .PAF  extension mentioned-- I
cannot find anything in pCLAMP, FETCHAN or FETCHEX which will let me take one 
of the raw data files and output the event list as anything other than an .EVL.

In case it matters, I am recording from black lipids, collecting the data on 
videotape, playing it into a Zenith 386 and using the package to record the 
data and then analyze it.  It would help if we could transport the data 
to spreadsheets, other graphics packages and other computers;  the .EVL files
are in binary and are useless when I force them through, for instance, Apple
File Exchange.

Is there a binary decoder that I might be able to use to translate the .EVL 
files, if there is no way to save the analysis as ascii?  This would be helpful
to avoid reanalyzing the raw data, actually....

Thanks for any help!  I will email or post a summary of responses if there are 
any or many requests.

There are several ways to look for old bio.net articles.  There is a wais
database at genbank.bio.net that you can search for old articles.  They are
available by anonymous ftp from genbank.bio.net and ftp.bio.indiana.edu and
they are available by gopher at ftp.bio.indiana.edu (port 70) in the
Network News/ directory.  The gopher sight allows you to both search for
articles and to browse through the articles starting in Dec, 1991 (it also
has a link to the wais database at genbank.bio.net.  

Many kudos go to Don Gilbert at Indiana and David Kristofferson & Kenton Hoover
at IG for providing these services.

Best of luck,

Well, I have learned how to do this using routines that Axon included in 
the package but did not document very well, IMHO  (not in the manuals but
in the README files).  

Early next week I will summarize the replies I have received, which have been

Subject: Revised Codon Usage Table
Date: 19 Aug 92 02:07:12 GMT
Distribution: bionet

I've recalculated the codon usage table for Arabidopsis with a cleaner
dataset.  The recently posted table was constructed from all Arabidopsis
sequences contained in GenBank as of July 11, 1992. However a few of these
sequences included more than one stop codon, specifically 16 sequences
contained a total of 162 terminators.  I have removed these questionable
sequences from those used to generate the codon usage table.  The result
of the cleaner dataset is the same as what I posted last week.  That is
the fraction that a particular codon is used for a given amino acid did
not change by any significant amount, except for the terminators which
changed to: TGA - 0.40, TAG - 0.20, and TAA - 0.41.  Because the results
are basically the same I'm not including the table in this message.  For
anyone that would like the revised table it can be retrieved via anonymous
ftp from amber.mgh.harvard.edu, look in the codon directory for the file
called ath.cod, or by sending me a mail message requesting the new table.

    We are heavy users of CoHort Software, which includes CoStat,

    has many of the features found in much more expensive packages
    (3-D, presentation quality, overlays, regression, calculations,
    rotation, scaling, etc.) and is easier to learn and use. Right
    now we are taking output from MAPMAKER and are drawing our 
    genetic locus maps (to scale) using this software instead of
    doing it by hand with grids, which was the *old* way.  There
