ChangBioscience introduces PeptideBase 1.4, database software for peptides. It helps users to organize their peptide stocks or manages information about peptides related to specific biological processes. Users can search the database with text or sequence queries. A database for oligonucleotides, PrimerBase 1.2, is also available. PrimerBase provides additional functions for primer design.

Hello!! Does anyone have a source for a font for Macintosh that has the standard planetary symbols for Male (shield and spear of Mars) and for female (Mirror of Venus)? It would be a great time-saver in listing specimens to have these symbols. Thank you. Merrill H. Sweet Department of Biology Texas A&M University College Station, Texas, 77843

Truetype fonts are the easiest, but they may not embed in PDFs created out of the various softwares. There are usually Type 1 (PostScript) versions as well. -- John Wilkins Head, Communication Services Walter and Eliza Hall Institute Melbourne, Australia

You most probably don't have to install any new fonts. Mars and Venus Characters are included in extended fontsets of conventiional fonts like times, arial, etc. I don't know about mac, but on PC in MS Word 6 and later (should be similar in Mac and PC), if you go to Insert > Symbol, and select any "normal" font (e.g. times new roman) instead of Symbol and them scroll down the font character preview pane, you will find those symbols.

Not on Macs. Macs use a different font encoding than PCs (which have various code pages for different languages, while the Macs have a single codepage for one byte character sets. > Emir > > > "Merrill Sweet" <msweet@bio.tamu.edu> wrote in message > news:3CC96252.1020502@bio.tamu.edu... > > Hello!! > > > > Does anyone have a source for a font for Macintosh that has the standard > > planetary symbols for Male (shield and spear of Mars) and for female > > (Mirror of Venus)?
