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.

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.
