We do this for the LISTA database and other activities on a keyword
basis - including the top of a sequence searching output, so that
colleagues concerned may already see whether or not these sequences
are already known from other organisms (or even worse, from Yeast).
However, as the yeast group is a very specialized newsgroup, with a lot
of email feed, I doubt that it would be ideal to have the keyword-
or search type of sequence poison the information character of the group.
So much noise would bless a lot of people, and possibly we should think
of a dedicated group for this, or do individual email feeds as we do
already as part of EMBnet Switzerland services.
An individual mail distribution has the following benefits:
KEYWORD ALERTING:
individuals may register their keywords - that might be Saccharomyces but
also other items
SEQUENCE ALERTING - i.e. we have some colleagues here who send me their
sequence and we scan it automatically vs. all incoming data (not only
yeast but all EMBL and GENBANK including all updates).
