Is there a summary of METHODS-AND-REAGENTS postings?
Yes. A FAQ for the METHODS newsgroup was created by Paul Hengen of Frederick Cancer Research and Development Center. It can be obtained via anonymous FTP from ftp.ncifcrf.gov in pub/methods/FAQlist. Note, however, that maintaining such a FAQ is a gargantuan task. We also recommend searching the METHODS archives for keywords as described in the “archives” question above. In each issue of “Trends in Biochemical Sciences” since November 1993, Dr. Hengen writes a monthly digest column of the METHODS newsgroup. This column highlights topics of special interest which were discussed recently on the newsgroup.
