FarFetch--an Internet-based sequence entry server.

View original source ↗Export metadata ↓

Abstract

This communication is to announce the availability of a network server for biological sequence database entries which will allow scientists to fetch entries in a desired format directly into their file store. This server will use TCP/IP protocols allowing any user with an Internet connection to participate. FarFetch will allow users to obtain sequence entries in a directly usable form as opposed to conventional e-mail based sequence retrievers. This server also differs from Gopher and WAIS servers in that the sequence entry is written into the user's file store in a format that is immediately usable. Clients for the OpenVMS, Unix and Macintosh operating systems have been written and are available via anonymous ftp. Development of MS-DOS and Windows clients is planned. There will be no usage fees associated with the server.

Human 2-D PAGE databases for proteome analysis in health and disease: http://biobase.dk/cgi-bin/celis.

Human 2-D PAGE Databases established at the Danish Centre for Human Genome Research are now available on the World Wide Web (http://biobase.dk/cgi-bin/celis). The databanks, which offer a comprehensive approach to the analysis of the human proteome both in health and disease, contain data on known and unknown proteins recorded in various IEF and NEPHGE 2-D PAGE reference maps (non-cultured keratinocytes, non-cultured transitional cell carcinomas, MRC-5 fibroblasts and urine). One can display names and information on specific protein spots by clicking on the image of the gel representing the 2-D gel map in which one is interested. In addition, the database can be searched by protein name, keywords or organelle or cellular component. The entry files contain links to other databases such as Medline, Swiss-Prot, PIR, PDB, CySPID, OMIM, Methabolic pathways, etc. The on-line information is updated regularly.

Psychiatrist says counselling via e-mail may be yet another medical use for Internet.

The head of the Personality Disorders Clinic at the University of Michigan recently told the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association that he has used "e-mail counselling" to treat seriously ill patients. He provided some advice about the possible use of e-mail to supplement face-to-face sessions in the psychiatrist's office.
