I guess I wasn't completely clear when I posted my previous request
for the number of mol. gen. labs.

I am only interested in pointers to compiled statistics.  I am
*not* conducting a poll.  Please do not send mail of the form
  "Well, I don't know how many molecular geneticists there are,
   but our lab has four."  

I am well aware that a request for information posted to the USENET
will not elicit a representative sample of the molbio community.

On the other hand, if anyone had compiled statistics (for example:
there are n Ph.D.'s in biology working in molecular genetics in
the US, or k geneticists currently funded by the Human Genome Project)
I'd be most appreciative.
