Abstract

Bio-Net is a special interest group hosted on the NIFTY-Serve network in Japan, which is dedicated to the researchers majored in life sciences. In order to join this group, all you need is a personal computer or terminal, modem, communication software and telephone. Through the messeage board and electronic mail services, you can access rich informational resources. Libraries stocked with downloadable on-line softwares for use in a genome research are also provided. With hundreds of these softwares, DNA and protein analysis will become more efficient. This section is for the demonstration of Bio-Net to see all that it can offer.
