We thought about mentioning the releatively recent discovery of these
"exceptions to the rule", but thought it might be too distracting at this
stage, as we were trying to provide a generalized overview, to introduce
the topic to those who might come from a totally non-biological background.
(e.g. "whats RNA?"). The subject will of course be raised later on in
proceedings.
Still, point taken- we can amend the wording of that sentence- what do the
rest of you think?

To discuss the course material, we will use the pps96-proteins and
pps96-bioinformatics lists, depending on the subject; and also plenty of
topics raised in the syllabus will be discussed in pps-technical.
These lists are all currently operational.
Anyway, thanks for raising this issue.
Here's also a reminder to you all that its now "All Systems Go" -
introductory messages were posted on pps96-general during the day, so you
may want to subscribe to these other 4 lists if you have not already done
so; or you can always refer to the mail in the Web archive.
To those of you who are acting as advising consultants to student groups,
we hope you have now received your lists of fellow members. Let us know
if theres anything you would like us to do for your group!
