lings and only 3 percent to 5 per-
cent manage to find such a per-
son among other relatives.
It is hoped that by eliminating
the need for a very close donor-
recipient match, the new ap-
proach will now make BMT
available to all those in need.
It enables them
to interact with
genome
investigators
abroad.
The UNESCO Bioinformatics
Workshop, held at the Institute
of Biochemistry and Biophysics
of the Polish Academy of Sci-
ences, is titled "Introduction to
Network Data Accession in Mol-
ecular Biotechnology." Major
Workshop lectures were pre-
sented by Senior Staff Scientist
Leon Esterman of the Biological
Computing Division at the
Weizmann Institute, and Dr. Pi-
otr Zielenkiewicz of the Institute
of Biophysics and Biochemistry
of the Polish Academy of Sci-
ences.
The Weizmann Institute of Sci- .

Collaborating On
Bioinformatics
The upgrading of biomedical,
biotechnological, and genetic re-
search in eastern Europe was ad-
vanced by the UNESCO
workshop organized in May in
Warsaw by the Weizmann Insti-
tute of Science and the Institute
of Biochemistry and Biophysics
of the Polish Academy of Sci-
ences.
The two bodies have collabo-
rated for the past two years in
the area of bioinformatics, the
computer-based discipline en-
abling biology researchers to con-
veniently search, access, and
graphically manipulate the col-
lection of currently known ge-
netic and-protein structures. Now
the combined know-how of these
institutions will be made avail-
able to researchers from a vari-
ety of East European countries,
including Lithuania, Latvia, Slo-
vakia, the Czech Republic, Bul-
garia, Russia and Belarus. This
knowledge should enable re-
searchers working in former So-
viet bloc nations to contribute
more actively to the Human
Genome Project, the 15-year $3-
billion international undertak-
ing aimed at deciphering all the
genes in human cells.
