National Seminar on E-Publications - Directions to the Venue
by Dimple Patel 19 Mar '06

19 Mar '06

Dear All, This is to inform you that the venue for the National Seminar on Electronic Publications organized by Mahatma Gandhi National Institute of Research and Social Action (MGNIRSA), Hyderabad is: JNTU Conference Hall, Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Kukatpally, HYDERABAD - 500 072. How to reach the Venue? FROM AIRPORT: If you are travelling by air, you will arrive at the Rajiv Gandhi airport, Begumpet. The airport is centrally located, being within easy reach of both Hyderabad and Secunderabad. At the airport, you can hire prepaid taxis, private cars or auto-rickshaws (there are no 4-wheeler taxis in Hyderabad). FROM RAILWAY STATIONS AND BUS STATIONS: If you are traveling by train, you will alight at one of the following railway stations: Secunderabad, Hyderabad (at Nampally), Begumpet or Kachiguda. If you arrive by long distance bus, you will alight at the Jubilee Bus Station, Secunderabad, or at the Hyderabad Bus Terminal at Gowliguda. Buses are actually pretty flexible, and stop at quite a few places along the way. PUBLIC TRANSPORT: The State Transport Corporation (APSRTC) buses are inexpensive. But, this is not the best option if you have a large amount of luggage on you, of course. There are two types of city bus services; ordinary Road Transport Corporation buses and the Metro Liners, operated by the APSRTC between 0500-2300 daily. RTC buses are crowded during rush hour. Metro Liners are comfortable but seats are limited. Metro Liners arent available everywhere, so its a good idea to check the route chart before you set out to see if there is service available. Buses you can take to reach JNTU Campus: From Secunderabad: 10K, 226 From Nampally: 225 From Kachiguda: 83K From Jubilee Bus Station: 226 There are many more buses going to Kukatpally from these points. You can enquire at the Enquiry counters available at the Bus stations. Telephone No.s of Bus Stations: Secunderabad : 23443399 Nampally : 23435162 Kachiguda : 27568624 Jubilee Bus Station: 27802203 Imlibun Bus Station: 24614406 LOCAL TRANSPORT: The auto rickshaws are metered, so make sure that the meter is showing the minimum fare (Rs. 10 now) when you get in, and that he's set the meter after you've engaged him. Pay what the meter shows when you get off, but if the minimum fare in the meter is still being shown as Rs. 8, the driver has to produce a card to show the actual amount. You will have to pay one and a half return amount if you are hiring an auto rickshaw between 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Taxis are not widely used in Hyderabad although prepaid taxis are available at the airport, Secunderabad and Nampally railway stations. These are generally expensive. URLs about Hyderabad you can use: http://www.fullhyderabad.com/htdocs/visiting_the_city/home.phtml http://www.fullhyderabad.com/htdocs/visiting_the_city/hotels.phtml http://www.hitex.co.in/html/cityinform.htm For your accommodation enquiries on your arrival at Hyderabad please contact Mr. Murahari at 9848845841. Dr. C.K. Ramaiah, Director, Centre for Information Science, Mahatma Gandhi National Institute of Research and Social Action [MGNIRSA], Street No.17, Gaganmahal Road, Domalguda, Hyderabad 500 029, Andhra Pradesh.

OPEN Genomics
by Subbiah Arunachalam 18 Mar '06

18 Mar '06

From Peter Suber's blog OA to genome sequences for 11 more mammals Glyn Moody, The Power of Open Genomics, Open..., March 16, 2006. Excerpt: The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has announced the latest round of mega genome sequencing projects - effectively the follow-ons to the Human Genome Project. These are designed to provide a sense of genomic context, and to allow all the interesting hidden structures within the human genome to be teased out bioinformatically by comparing them with other genomes that diverged from our ancestors at various distant times. Three more primates are getting the NHGRI treatment: the rhesus macacque, the marmoset and the orangutan. But alongside these fairly obvious choices, eight more mammals will be sequenced too....If you are not quite sure whom to vote for, you might want to peruse a great page listing all the genomes currently being sequenced for the NHGRI, which provides links to a document...explaining why each is important (there are pix, too). More seriously, it is worth noting that this growing list makes ever more plain the power of open genomics. Since all of the genomes will be available in public databases as soon as they are completed (and often before), this means that bioinformaticians can start crunching away with them, comparing species with species in various ways. Already, people have done the obvious things like comparing humans with chimpanzees, or mice with rats, but the possibilities are rapidly becoming extremely intriguing....And beyond the simple pairing of genomes, which yields a standard square-law richness, there are even more inventive combinations involving the comparison of multiple genomes that may reveal particular aspects of the Great Digital Tree of Life, since everything may be compared with everything, without restriction. Now imagine trying to do this if genomes had been patented, and groups of them belonged to different companies, all squabbling over their "IP". The case for open genomics is proved, I think.
