From gilbertd from cricket.bio.indiana.edu Wed Sep 30 14:20:34 2009 From: gilbertd from cricket.bio.indiana.edu (Don Gilbert) Date: Wed Sep 30 14:21:43 2009 Subject: [Arthropod] Arthropod bionet list test Message-ID: <200909301920.n8UJKYi13594@cricket.bio.indiana.edu> There is interest among biologists who study various Arthropods for a shared public news and discussion group. Please comment if you would like to see a new Arthropod mailing list. Values of sharing biology discussion and news among those who study insects and crustaceans has been noted at recent venues, including the Arthropod Genomics Symposia (http://www.k-state.edu/agc/), Entomological Society meetings (e.g. http://www.entsoc.org/), and recent arthropod genome projects. BIOSCI/Bionet (www.bio.net) continues to serve such bioscience community news needs, as it has since its inception 20 years ago by Michael Ashburner and others. Community group lists at Bionet include DROSOPHILA, ARABIDOPSIS, MAIZE, Medicago, CELEGANS, CHLAMYDOMONAS, Mycology, YEAST, and ZBRAFISH. Bionet currently is maintained at Indiana University by Don Gilbert, a genome informatician specializing in arthropods. There are related mailing lists (see below). The uses and content of this proposed list would presumably be similar. Please comment whether you believe existing lists cover this need or prefer a new one. Comment also on proposed charter and areas. Perhaps this group should focus on one area such as genomics of arthropods. Send your comments to bioforum@net.bio.net for public discussion or biosci-help@net.bio.net (private to Don Gilbert). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Information for the ARTHROPOD/bionet.arthropod (moderated): One line Description: Arthropod Biology Status: Moderated Moderators: to be named (biosci-help@net.bio.net current) Posting address: arthropod @ net.bio.net bionet-arthropod @ net.bio.net (alternate) USENET name: bionet.arthropod Charter: The purpose of the ARTHROPOD newsgroup is to provide a public forum for scientific discussion, communication and collaboration of shared biology interests among scientists studying species of Arthropoda, including insects and crustaceans. Arthropods (phylum Arthropoda) are the largest phylum of animals and include the insects, arachnids, crustaceans, and others. They make up over 75% of all currently known living and fossil organisms, with over one million species described in all. Topics of major interest include: Evolution and phylogenetics of arthropods; Genomics including comparative genomics, genome databases and resources, next generation technology and methods; Vector arthropods of human and agricultural diseases. Other areas of evolutionary biology, ecology and enviroment, genomics, molecular and organismal biology, methods and biotechnology, informatics and databases touching on biology of arthropods are of interest. In addition this newsgroup will provide a forum for the exchange of information about future meetings of interest to those studying insects, crustaceans and other arthropods, and a venue for help and sharing of methods and techniques. #.......... -- d.gilbert--bioinformatics--indiana-u--bloomington-in-47405 -- gilbertd@indiana.edu--http://marmot.bio.indiana.edu/ From gilbertd from kalo.bio.indiana.edu Wed Sep 30 17:08:53 2009 From: gilbertd from kalo.bio.indiana.edu (Don Gilbert) Date: Wed Sep 30 17:10:04 2009 Subject: [Arthropod] Bionet Arthropod news/discussion list is now available Message-ID: This Bionet.biology.vectors newsgroup has been unused for some years.
