Hi James

 I understand your intent and agree wholeheartedly, but just out of
curiosity - exactly what subject would you put this under??. I suppose
Misc fits all - but perhaps the list needs some new categories in light of
the new research groups. ?? E.g., Fragment analysis, microarray, protein,
solution interactions.

Header Description
AAA Amino Acid Analysis
Comp Computer analysis and/or database searches
C E Capillary electrophoresis
C H O Carbohydrate analysis
Digest Enzymatic or chemical digestion conditions
DNASeq DNA sequencing
DNASyn DNA synthesis (oligonucleotides)
EBlot Electroblotting
GLP/GMP Compliance and accreditation matters
HPLC HPLC-peptide/protein purification
MolBio Misc. molecular biology matters
MS Mass spectrometry
PCR PCR
PepSyn Peptide synthesis
ProtSeq Protein sequencing
P2D Protein purification by 2-D gel
EqpNeed Equipment need
EqpSale Equipment for sale
JobNeed Those looking for positions vacant
JobOpen Those with vacancies to fill
Nostalgia Just for greybeards and/or whiteheads
Misc None of the above
