CHROMOSOMES/bionet.genome.chromosomes charter:

Name:  bio-chrom   MAPPING AND SEQUENCING OF EUCARYOTE CHROMOSOMES

	Greg Lennon and Bruce Roe propose to be discussion leaders
for a new news group that would replace the .chromosome22 news group
and the autoseqs@net.bio.net e-mail list.   

The topics open for discussion in this new, combined, news group include:

  1. Physical mapping of human, mouse, and other eucaryote chromosomes

  2. Large-scale sequencing of cDNAs and chromosomes

  3. Mapping of human, mouse, and other eucaryote cDNAs to chromosomes

  4. Selection of chromosome-specific cDNAs

  5. Generation of chromosome-specific clones and sequences
     (STSs, microsatellites, etc.)  

  6. Announcements and requests for probes.

with an emphasis on theory, techniques and discoveries.  The overall
purpose of this new, combined news group is to bring research groups
with an interest in genomic-level research and automated methods for
studying eucaryote genomes together to exchange ideas and protocols, 
probes and mapping information, and to discuss other issues relevant
to large scale mapping and sequencing.
