 We
were awarded a bigchalk best award from bigchalk.com!
This site,
which catalogs educational websites, deemed us in the top 2% of the
110,000 sites it reviewed, based onour rich content and academic relevance.
We are very honored.

Well, I'm doing a little
better job updating the web site than updating the site news lately.
I've been updating and purging lots of old links, and including
a few new things. Here are some items of note:
- Added links to euGenes
(used to be MEOW) to the C. elegans
and Sequence Analysis links pages.
- Added several useful
links to the Literature Searches
links page. Note that some of these sites will only work if you
have a personal or institutional subscription (as UA does) to the
site:
- Enhanced functionality
of our Lab Publications page.
Where available,
I've added links to the full text articles and/or list of papers
that have sited each article. You may need a journal subscription
for these links to work (UA has subscriptions to most)
- Thanks to some heroic
work by lab member Jennifer McGilton, all of the Vendors
links have now been updated.
April 21,
2000
- Updated
several C. elegans genomics resources on the C.
elegans links page. These include new links to WormBase
and the MEOW (Model
Eukaryotic Organism Web) genomic data repositories.
- Haven't
done any major site work for a while, but we have finally updated
our Lab Members Mugshot Board (thanks
to Eric F. and Marci M. for taking new photos). Have done some minor
tidying up and link fixing. Please contact pmuhlrad@u.arizona.edu
if you find any bad links or would like to suggest new ones.
April 27,
1999
- Added a
link to the HMS
Beagle Job Alert page to the Career Development
Links page. This site contains job databases, interesting articles,
and other resources for careers and career paths in the biological
sciences. (Requires free registration to Biomednet).
- Over the
past several months, added and updated several miscellaneous links
in our links pages.
January 24,
1999
January 18,
1999
- Added a
link to Technical Tips
Online to our Protocol Links page.
Technical Tips Online offers "Technical Tips (novel methods
or significant improvements on existing methods), Core Protocols
(invited from experienced laboratories), and Application Notes (information
from Companies about specific products)- all from Elsevier Trends
Journals." This searchable and regularly updated protocols
database is available free through BioMedNet
(free registration required).
- You can
now roll your mouse over the worm micrograph to identify particular
parts of the anatomy (requires Flash Player plug-in, included with
most recent browsers, or downloadable
for free from Macromedia.)
- Updated
the link to our microarray results
on the microarray page.
January 11,
1999
- We are using
a new server, which should result in even faster and more reliable
access to our site. In case you're interested, here are some of
the technical specs of our new server:
Dell Poweredge
6300, with dual Pentium Xeon 400 MHz. processors with 512K L2
cache, 256 Mb. RAM, 18 Gb. RAID 5 storage subsystem which uses
high performance 10,000 RPM ultra wide SCSI 2 drives, running
NT 4.0 and IIS 4.0 as the web server. Connected to the campus
backbone by a 100 Mb./sec high speed ethernet connection.
(Not sure
what all this means, but it sure sounds impressive, doesn't it?)
- stay tuned
for some new web technology we're introducing, such as Macromedia
Flash animations and FileMaker Pro databases of our mutant and DNA
sequence collections.

- We
are the Featured Lab for Issue 42 of HMS
Beagle!
We are delighted to receive this honor and even more delighted to
have all the visitors sent over by HMS Beagle. Welcome to our site.
We hope you enjoy your visit (let us know).
- With the
throngs of visitors from HMS Beagle that will soon be beating at
the doors of our little site (we hope), it's about time we show
everyone just what a C. elegans worm looks like. So, finally,
here's a worm portrait.
November 11,
1998
- Genosys
Biotechnologies has a very nice
oligonucleotide calculator that calculates the melting temperature,
molecular weight, and potential for secondary structure and primer
dimer formation for any oligo sequence you enter. I put a link to
the oligo calculator on both our Sequence
Analysis and Vendors links pages.
- We've been
listed as a reference in the homeworkcentral
database! If you found our site through homework central, welcome.
We hope you find what you were looking for, and maybe even a few
things you weren't looking for!
October 22,
1998
- Organized
and added new links for worm genomics resources on C.
elegans Links Page

- "Tiny
worm sperm big deal" WE'RE FAMOUS! Read a newspaper article
about our research (and inspired by this web site) that appeared
recently in the Tucson Citizen. Welcome to all visitors sent here
by the Citizen article. We're glad you're here and would love to
hear from you.
July 20, 1998
- The C. elegans
WWW Server at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center
has moved to a new, faster computer. The new URL is: http://elegans.swmed.edu/
I think I've changed most of our links to reflect the change, but
if you catch any I missed, please let me know.

EVERYTHING'S
NEW! Our
new site's public unveiling. We hope you like it, excuse the portions
still under heavy construction, and visit again soon to watch it take
shape. Although there's already a lot to explore, we plan on adding
many more pictures, videos, and interactive pages in the near future.
