This newsletter shares current research on genetics, cytogenetics, molecular biology, and genomics of maize. Information is shared by Cooperators with the understanding that it will not be used in publications without their specific consent.

 

Send your notes for the 2005 Maize Genetics Cooperation Newsletter now, anytime before January 1.  Your MNL Notes will go on the Web verbatim promptly, and will be prepared for printing in the annual issue. Be concise, not for­mal, but include specific data, tables, observations and methods.  Articles which require extensive editing will be returned.  Check MaizeGDB for the most current information on submission of notes.  Send your notes as attachments or as the text of an email addressed to [email protected] (we will acknowledge receipt, and will contact you further if necessary).  If email is not feasible, please mail a double-spaced, letter-quality copy of your note, preferably with a disk containing the electronic version.  Please follow the simple style used in this issue (city /institution title /--authors; tab paragraphs; give citations with authors' initials --e.g., Maizer, BA et al., J Hered 35:35, 1995, or supply a bibliography).  Figures, charts and tables should be compact and camera-ready, and supplied in  electronic form (jpg or gif) if possible.  To separate columns in tables, please tab instead of using spaces, to ensure quality tabulations on the web.  Your MNL Notes will go on the Web verbatim promptly, and will be prepared for printing in the annual issue.  Mailing address:

Cooperators (that means you) need the Stock Center.

The Stock Center needs Cooperators (this means you) to:

 

(1) Send stocks of new factors you report in this Newsletter or in publications, and stocks of new combinations, to the collection. 

 

(2) Inform the Stock Center on your experience with materials received from the collection.

 

(3) Acknowledge the source, and advice or help you received, when you publish.

 

MaizeGDB needs Cooperators (this means you) to:

 

(1) Look up "your favorite gene or expression" in MaizeGDB and send refinements and updates to via the public annotation "button" at http://www.maizegdb.org.

 

(2) Compile and provide mapping data in full, including the ordered array of map scores for molecular markers or counts by phenotypic classes; recombination percentage and standard error.

 

(3) Provide probe or primer information per http://www.maizegdb.org/probe.php; fingerprint data and fragment sizes are significantly useful to colleagues.

 

(4) Provide BAC-probe relationships for BACs on public physical map (http://www.genome.arizona.edu/maize), especially if probes have been genetically mapped.

 

May you find a Unique corn in MM!
