Xine Volume 6 - supplement 3, July 2006

Welcome to Xine, the source for Xenopus news and information. Here's what's happening...

Note from JGI regarding their Xenopus sites

JGI is in the process of migrating the internal curated version of Xentr4 onto an external server. So annotation tables will be locked while this happens. The site should be active on genome Monday July 24th. After which we will turn off the internal version permanently.

Bottom line for he community is that we can look forward to an improved version of the genome browser but the server will be down for a few days.

Call for content

Xine could be used to disseminate information and
protocols of general utility to the research community. In order for
this to occur, please send any such contributions to the editor who
will include them in a future (or special) issue of Xine.
