Software/Databases and GenBank Submissions at LANL

James Fickett, Michael Cinkosky, and Joe Gatewood [Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL)] have developed a new e-mail service to help cDNA sequencing laboratories stay aware of overlaps with other laboratories. cDNA-Inform, a collection of public and private sequences and software for automatic searches and comparisons, can be queried by e-mailing a newly determined sequence to the address below. Sequence identifiers and contact information are reported to owners of matching sequences, who are continually informed of new matches. Although matches are reported, privately submitted sequences are seen only by the contributor.

To use cDNA-Inform, send a message to bioserve@t10.lanl.gov containing the text cdna-inform in the first line. For FASTA format, start the second line with a right angle bracket (>) followed by a sequence identifier (if no identifier is supplied, cDNA-Inform will assign one). On the same line, identify the sequence source. Place the sequence, with no annotation, numbering, or punctuation, on the third and succeeding lines. For GenBank format, the first line should be cdna-inform -g, and the remaining message should contain a sequence in GenBank entry format.

Human Genome Project 1990–2003

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was an international 13-year effort, 1990 to 2003. Primary goals were to discover the complete set of human genes and make them accessible for further biological study, and determine the complete sequence of DNA bases in the human genome. See Timeline for more HGP history.

Published from 1989 until 2002, this newsletter facilitated HGP communication, helped prevent duplication of research effort, and informed persons interested in genome research.
