To promote bioscience and medical researches, we founded a telecommunication network, "Bio-Net", in Japan on April, 1989. This network has a membership of more than 4,000, and has been sustained by "Bio-Net Working Group" composed of voluntary researchers. Here we report the development of "Bio-Net" during the last three and a half years, and would like to predict its future availability in the field of a genome research which calls for a highly interdisciplinary scientific cooperation.
