New Versions of the CGC Bibliography and Strain List Available

New paper versions of the CGC Strain List, the second part of the 
bibliography (1986 through the present) and the complete map data will 
be available toward the middle of July, 1990.  The strain list and 
bibliography will be sent automatically to every lab with a CGC 
designation and they are free upon request to anyone else (one per lab,
please).  The map data printouts are very large (>800 pages), and are 
special-request items.  If your lab does a lot of genetics and relies 
on these printouts, you're welcome to have one. (I have a small list 
of people who have asked for one already; don't worry, I haven't 
forgotten you.)
The CGC Bibliography is published in two parts.  Part I covers 1866 
through 1985 and is not regularly updated.  Part II covers everything 
from January, 1986, and will be updated every two years until it is 
equal in size to Part I, when a new single list will be generated.  
Copies of Part I are still available if you don't have one.
As usual, all of these lists are available as simple delimited text 
files for either Macintosh or DOS computers.  To get a copy of any or 
all computer files, send me the appropriate number and type of blank 
diskettes with a request letter.  The files will fit on two 1.2 Mb 5.
25' floppies (MS-DOS), two 700 Kb 3.5' floppies (MS-DOS or Mac) or one 
1.44 Mb 3.5' floppy (MS-DOS or Mac).
