*** Human gene database to be available on web

Beginning Saturday, April 19, researchers around the world will have
free Internet access to the most current and comprehensive scientific
database of the human genome. The information bank will be released on
the web by The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR). The database,
known as the TIGR Human Gene Index (http://www.tigr.org/hgi/hgi.html),
will integrate available research results from international human
gene research projects. The database will hold full-length gene
sequences and more than 600,000 Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) from
worldwide cDNA sequencing efforts. For the full text story, see
