     When you receive your October issue of BioTechniques, check
beneath the title of each article for the complete citation
information (volume number, inclusive page numbers, month and
year of publication) for that article.  This information has been
incorporated into the BioTechniques page format as the result of
a suggestion posted to this newsgroup by Paul Hengen
(pnh@ncifcrf.gov), who pointed out that determining the correct
citation information for BioTechniques articles (especially from
photocopies) can be difficult because all pages in the journal
are not numbered.

     One purpose of the BIOTECHNIQUES newsgroup is to facilitate
rapid communication between readers and the BioTechniques
editorial staff - kind of an electronic "Letters to the Editor".  

(The *primary purpose* of the newsgroup is to enable readers,
authors and all interested individuals to discuss and
troubleshoot the techniques, including general approaches and
specific protocols, that appear monthly in the journal,
BioTechniques.)

So if you have an idea that you think would make BioTechniques
more valuable, interesting or easier to use, post your
suggestions here - we'd like to hear your opinions!
