<font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Dear
Sir or Madam</font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>I am writing
to you to make a request for you to update and replace an out-dated link
on your page:</font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1><a href="http://www.gramene.org/resources/">http://www.gramene.org/resources/</a>
*which we think is an excellent resource!</font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Although
"Pedro's BioMolecular Research Tools" was a great resource in its day,
it has been largely superceded by</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>the Molecular Biology Network's site
"MolBiol.Net" - which is available here: <a href="http://www.bioinformatics.vg">http://www.bioinformatics.vg</a></font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Here
is a formatted link for you to include:</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1><A TITLE="Bioinformatics Tools"
HREF="<a href="http://www.bioinformatics.vg">MolBiol.Net">http://www.bioinformatics.vg">MolBiol.Net</a>
- Bioinformatics and Molecular Biology Software Portal</A></font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Unlike
poor old Pedro's, which has not been updated since 1996 (a long time in
a fast moving discipline like bioinformatics),</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>MolBiol.Net is updated weekly and
regularly checked for deadlinks. It was developed partly because
during my PhD I found that most of the links in Pedro's were already dead,
and found this really frustrating.</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Like Pedro's, however, MolBiol.Net
is a free-to-use (no registration needed)and hand-curated listing of free
online bioinformatics tools and other molecular biology resources.</font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>We
are a high quality site listed in Harvard's BioLinks section (<a href="http://www.mcb.harvard.edu/BioLinks/biochem.html">http://www.mcb.harvard.edu/BioLinks/biochem.html</a>)</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>as well as having been selected for
inclusion in Current Web Contents by the Institute for Scientific Information,</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>and BIOME, the collection of high
quality and evaluated resources funded by JISC (UK Joint Information Systems
Committee).</font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>If you
do decide to update your link, we would appreciate an email so that we
can validate it.</font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Kind
regards,</font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Dr Jonathan
Rees</font></font> <font face="Arial"><font size=-1>PS. If you have
any queries about this, don't hesistate to email me at <a href="mailto:pedro_update@bioinformatics.vg">pedro_update@bioinformatics.vg</a></font></font> </blockquote>
