A Penny for Your Thoughts

NIH's National Institute of General Medical Sciences is conducting an assessment of the Protein Structure Initiative and is looking for scientists and other interested parties to respond to some questions about the program. Today's the last day, so if you're an interested party, check out this website to get involved.

Elsewhere, some working groups from ABRF are getting ready to launch the second phase of their DNA variant platform study (check out GT's article on the first phase here). They're looking for people to help benchmark technologies for tracking DNA variants, including sequencing, SNP genotyping, microsatellite analysis, and more. If you're interested in participating, fill out the survey here.
