This is a big enough area, the question is rather how many of the interested workers will know about/use an electronic bulletin board. Its a bit sad to see boards like Oncogenes and Gene Exression disappearing. There was some very useful information in these in the past. Perhaps the criteria for creation and continuation of boards are too rigorous? Genomic Organisation is fine as a bulletin board for genome projects. With any of the more esoteric theoretical/computational issues in Biomatrix. Perhaps someone could let HUGO know about this (perhaps Victor McKusick is the person to contact?).
