As I am getting ready to take my comprehensive exam and several questions last year included ones of the form "why was _x_ used in this assay?" I would find it quite useful to know what _x_ does. I do know about going through the different catalogs, but I am looking for a more convenient listing. Any suggestions? (Please e-mail, if there is enough interest, I will compile and post.) Thanks in advance, Phyllis -- -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- "... with rolling green hills and a roaring white river ..." pcpugh@ucsd (.edu or .bitnet)
