We'd better start using this group, otherwise its total lack of traffic
will get it closed down - after all the sterling efforts to get it
established in the first place!
Yes, I share the interests: I am working with leafhopper-
transmitted monogeminiviruses (with which I think you [CW] have some
glancing acquaintance...!), and potyviruses, and teach molecular and
general virology to under- and postgraduates at the University of CT
(California- Tijuana, if anyone asks what "UCT" means on my T-shirt...).
I am also fascinated by molecular systematics of viruses (and have met
some others of like mind thru this newsgroup), and indulge my obsession
endlessly on a growing database of Gemini-, Poty- and Bromoviridae
sequences.
And no, I don't really have anything to contribute on flu and kinases -
sorry!
