	I'd like, just for the pleasure of having as much information
as I can about something I'm interestied on, D.K. or Cassandra or other
person, the exact ammount of votes that created bionette, the exact 
ammount against and the rate they are refered to the whole ammount of
users we are.

	I'd also like to know if there is any minimum rate (quorum) to
create a new group refered to the whole number of users.

Subject: Chaos Theory; a place in biology?
Date: 12 Sep 92 23:48:37 GMT
Organization: Penn State University

Hi there.  I'd like to pose a question that's been gnawing away at me:
can the principles of Chaos Theory be practically applied in
biology/ecology?

        What is Chaos Theory --

As I understand it (and please correct me if I'm wrong), Chaos Theory states
that all processes operate under non-linear feedback loops that are
completely deterministic but impossible to predict because of the extreme
sensitivity to initial conditions.  Non-repeating yet distinct "strange
attractors" are formed by these processes that can (theoretically) be
used to detect cyclic trends.

"Chaotic" activities which suggests proof of this theory have been cited
from molecular biology to population ecology; and it does seem to make sense,
in an eerie sort of way, but is it actually applicable?  Is Chaos Theory
the new paradigm shift, or just a castle in the sky?  What do ya'll think?

                                             Michelle M. Fink

Any help would be appreciated.

Subject: Analysis of Molecular Variance : A Windows 3.0 program
Organization: University of Geneva, Switzerland
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 1992 13:18:26 GMT


  This is an annoucement for the public release of a WINDOWS 3.x based program

to analyze the GENETIC STRUCTURE OF POPULATIONS using MOLECULAR INFORMATION.


  This program (WINAMOVA ver 1.04) is based on a paper by Excoffier, Smouse and 

Quattro (1992), and computes variance components for 2 levels of population 

structure as well as their associated modified F-statistics (called here Phi-

statistics).


  This version can handle a maximum of 255 molecular haplotypes, 100 populations

and 100 groups of populations. It requires haplotype frequency information for

each population, as well as a matrix of inter-haplotypic squared (euclidian) 

distances. 


  Conventional multi-allelic F-statistics may also be computed.


  The program includes a non-parametrical (permutational) test for the 

significance of both variance components and Phi-statistics.


  It can be uploaded by anonymous FTP from    : ACASUN1.UNIGE.CH

(username : anonymous) in the directory       :  pub/amova

under the form of an archived file called WINAMOVA.ZIP, including 

executable versions for Windows 3.0 and Windows 3.1, plus example files.


           The program is FREEWARE and can be distributed freely in its 
           original form, but I would appreciate receiving an E-mail from
           interested users, as well as comments, suggestions, and bug
           reports.

(Windows 3.x is a product from Microsoft Corporation)

Hi netters:

Recently, a friend of mine is interested in getting a statistical software for
his MacII. The one he is interested in is Statistica v.3.0 by StatSoft. The
list price is $595. Before he makes any "big" decision, he is interested in
knowing other people opinion on this.
Currently, he is using Systat, JUMP, SuperANOVA, etc in combination. I think
he is just tired of it. I use Systat also and in my opinion it is an IBM in
disguise as a Mac. The data editor is not very user-friendly. Most of all, it
is kind of pain to explore your data set. It needs some sort of manipulation
to bullet each individual data point. In contrast with SuperANOVA, all you
have to do is just double-click to include or exclude a single data point.
Statistical analysis in population biology is kind of daily practice.
Therefore, any suggestion and opinion on Statistca or other softwares are
greatly appreciated.

PRESS RELEASE


4. Septemember 1992


The Rice Genome Research Program (RGP) has produced the 
first issue of its Newsletter, titled Rice Genome. The 
newsletter aims to inform all researchers interested in 
mapping and analyzing plant genomes. The main objective is 
to enhance international  cooperative research efforts for 
rice genome analysis and for the isolation and utilization 
of useful rice genes in plant breeding and biotechnology.

Background

The Rice Genome Research Program (RGP) started on October 1,
1991. It is managed by the National Institute of 
Agrobiological Resources (NIAR) and the Society for 
Techno-innovation of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries 
(STAFF). The main center of research activity is at NIAR in 
Tsukuba City near Tokyo. The first stage of RGP lasts for 
seven years. 

The main objectives of the first stage are to provide a 
physical map with DNA clones and a linkage map with genetic 
and RFLP markers and conventional genetic markers in at 
least 2000 positions. In addition, cDNA catalogues will be 
made from different organs of rice for isolation of 
agronomically important genes.

Funding is provided by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry
and Fisheries (MAFF), Japan, and the Japan Racing 
Association (JRA).

The newsletter Rice Genome

The first issue of the newsletter Rice Genome (Number 1, 
vol. 1, July 1992) contains articles on the following 
topics:

- an overview of the Rice Genome Research Program
- the current strategy of cDNA cataloguing
- RFLP linkage mapping
- physical mapping and chromosome mapping

In addition, information is given on how to request DNA 
clones (cDNA and RFLP landmarkers).

The newsletter is available free of charge. To have your 
name added to the mailing list, send your name and address to
the address below. Please indicate also the source of this announcement.

vote at all.

The newsgroup proposal must receive at least 80 YES votes to pass and
the number of YES votes must be greater than the number of NO votes by
at least 40.  Discussion of the newsgroup proposal is now closed and

    Since I have a very limited knowledge of the chemical processes involed

me if extreme cold and/or an electric shock can cause memory loss.  I doing 
the research for a novel I am writing and thought I would post here to get
some opinion from you experts out there.  If this is possible a brief 
explanation of how it might happen would be what I am looking for. 
Even a yes or no answer would be alright, at least I would know then that I

Tony....What is the evidence that the protein is indeed a K+
channel other than the homology data? Has it been expressed in
some sort of system? Secondly, I think you might want to talk
to fellow Woods Hole-er Richard Kramer at Columbia...who
did some interesting experiments this summer that in my vague
recollection may be of interest.

Dear Readers

I noticed the Ewings sarcoma cDNA sequence out in Nature today.
Does anyone have the sequence in flat file form that they could
email me?  I can't find any reference to database submission in 
the paper.

Cheers
