George, Didn't Xoma use the DoE facilities to map BPI? *** Machines to help with gene sequence WASHINGTON (AP) - New machines will enable the Department of Energy to triple its speed in decoding human genes and should enable the agency to reach its goal of sequencing 300 million base pairs of DNA by March. Elbert Branscomb, director of the department's Joint Genome Institute, said 24 new DNA sequencer machines to be installed at its Walnut Creek, Calif., lab will enable the agency to increase the number of base pairs processed monthly from about 5 million to about 15 million. The new machines, valued at about $5 million, were made by Amersham Pharmacia Biotech of Piscataway, N.J., and are being leased by the department. Twelve machines are already operating and another dozen are expected soon. See infobeat.com

No, I haven't sold. Yes, I remember the promise. No, I'm not Bluegreen -- I count myself among the handful here who do not suffer from multiple personality disorder. Yes, postings are a poor guide to anything useful. No, I will not frequent Yahoo, much as you may try to entice me with talk of a critical mass. And, yes, it's nice to be blinking in the light at the end of Xoma's tunnel after so very long stumbling around in darkness. (Remember the beer talk days?) Trust it's the sun and not a train comin' at us.
