Systems Biology Brings Life Sciences Closer——Report on the China-UK Systems Biology Workshop 2005

The China-UK Systems held during June 20-21 Biology Workshop 2005 was in the National Science Park of Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. It was organized by the Institute of Bioinformatics, Zhejiang University, and was initiated by Prof. Dr. Jun Zhu （Zhejiang University） and Prof. Dr. John Findlay （University of Leeds, UK）. The workshop was part of the program called UK-China Partners in Science, a one-year campaign that was initiated by the British government to explore more collaborations between UK and China on science and technology. It was attended also by a representative of this program, Mr. Frank Yuan, senior science ＆ innovation officer. The idea of the workshop was to bring together experts with specialists in systems biology in order to promote the ＂natural partnership＂ between scientists from the two countries. The most important items of systcms biology considered at the workshop were： （1） New technologies and advances in systems biology; （2） Research developments in genomics and proteomics; （3） New methodologies and software in computational biology; （4） Research collaboration on systems biology between China and UK.

A REVIEW OF THE GENUS A CRICOTOPUS KIEFFER （DIPTERA： CHIRONOMIDAE） IN CHINA

The genus Acricotopus Kieffer including three species from China is reviewed.Acricotopus lucens (Zetterstedt) is reexamined. Two species A. simplex sp. nov. and A.zhalingensis sp. nov. are described as male imagines. Acricotopus simplex sp. nov. was collected from Xizang, Sichuan and Qinghai Provinces; the species differs from others of the genus by the absence of hind tibial comb, temporal and clypeal seta. Acricotopus zhalingensis sp. nov. was collected from Qinghai Province; the species is recognized by a combination of characters: the larger body size; the clypeus without setae; anal lobe strongly produced, nearly hemispherical shape; inferior volsella triangular, strongly sclerotized; gonostylus with 13 very long setae. A key to the world males of the genus is presented. The generic diagnosis is emended.All the types described in this paper are deposited in Department of Biology, Nankai University,China (BDN).     

NOTE ON A PERMIAN DORYPTERUS OF HSINHUA,CENTRAL HUNAN

The discovery of Dorypterus in Central China is of interest because it represents thefirst occurrence of this kind of fishes in China,and in Asia.The specimen was col-lected from the lower part of Permian Touling coal series by Mr.Feng Shao-nan.In this specimen the hind portion of body,including great part of tail,is preserved,     

SOME LOWER ORDOVICIAN GASTROPODS FROM ZHUOZISHAN DISTRICT,INNER MONGOLIA

The material upon which this paper is based was collected by Messrs. S. C. Kwan and S. T.Che from the Zhuozishan limestone in southwestern part of Inner Mongolia during their fieldinvestigation in 1953. A part of specimens were procured by Messrs. Y. H. Lu, A. T. Mu andJ. T. Chang from the same district in 1954. The lower Ordovician strata of the Zhuozishan region was divided by Messrs. S. C. Kwanand S. T. Che (1955, Acta Geological Sinica, vol. 35, no. 2, p. 98--101) into three parts,namely: the Sandaokan formation in the lower part, the Zhuozishan limestone in the middle partand the Klimli limestones in the upper part. The gastropods are largely procured from theZhuozishan limestone. This limestone series consists mainly of greyish blue, massive limestons

<正>In 1952,when botany was still regarded as a"new science"in China,a quarterly journal named Acta Botanica Sinica(ABS) was established by the Botanical Society of China.Dr.Shih-Wei Loo received his Ph.D.from the California Institute of Technology(CIT)in 1945     

Wood-inhabiting marine fungi from the coast of Shandong, China Ⅲ

Five species of higher marine fungi were observed on the incubated drift and intertidal woods collected from the coasts of Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea. Among them, Halosphaeriopsis was a genus newly recorded for China. Taxonomy and morphology of these species were discussed in this paper. The specimens were deposited in Mycology Herbarium at Qingdao Agricultural University （MHQAU）.
