GENE-COMBIS, part of the journal Gene, is a new online electronic journal devoted to computing problems that arise in the molecular biology field. Edited by Michael Ashburner (University of Cambridge) and Nathan Goodman (Whitehead Institute), GENE-COMBIS includes online articles, alerting service, discussion forum, user directory, and recommended software. It links to other bibliographical references and databases for rapid, direct submission and retrieval of sequences and source codes mentioned in the articles. Anonymous peer reviews are included with the papers, which are published on WWW 8 to 10 days after approval by the editors and later in hard copy in Gene. The service is directly available to scientists at institutes that maintain a hard-copy subscription to Gene. Individual subscription charges for others will be waived for the first year of operation (ending July 31, 1996), but a unique identifier is required for access to all components. This identifier is obtained through a subscription application (follow the option "access registration") from the GENE-COMBIS Home Page http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/genecombis and http://www.elsevier.com/locate/genecombis .
On October 1, the Human Genome Project will celebrate its fifth anniversary. To commemorate this event, the next issue of HGN will highlight progress made over the last 5 years in achieving project goals.
