To the faithful readers of the Biomch-L literature update,

ISI Web of Knowledge has changed when and possibly how frequently the database is updated. Previously, it was updated weekly on Fridays, but that is no longer the case. I believe it starts updating on Wednesday and reaches a steady state by Friday. This change in when the updates occur has caused the labeling to be off, but as of Tues, Sept 13, I am up-to-date.

thanks,
-Helen
