CAS to provide Registry Numbers to Wikipedia Chemistry Portal
CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society, is pleased to announce that it will contribute to the Wikipedia project. CAS will work with Wikipedia to help provide accurate CAS Registry Numbers for current substances listed in the Wikiprojects-Chemicals section of the Wikipedia Chemistry Portal that are of widespread general public interest.
The CAS Registry is the world’s most comprehensive collection of chemical substances and the CAS Registry Number is the recognized global standard for chemical substance identification.
CAS views Wikipedia as an important societal tool for the general public; and this collaboration with Wikipedia is in line with CAS’ mission as a Division of the American Chemical Society.

ACM Computing Reviews - New Hot Topic - Computational Intelligence in Human Genetics
Computing Reviews recently announced the release of its new Hot Topic, “The Critical Need for Computational Intelligence in Human Genetics,” written by Jason H. Moore of Dartmouth College.
This Hot Topic outlines how data mining can help identify genetic risk factors for common human diseases. In diseases such as cancer, essential hypertension, and schizophrenia, many genes and many environmental factors interact in non linear ways. To understand the enormous complexity of these interactions and isolate those responsible for a particular disease, computational intelligence is needed. Moore outlines possible approaches and foresees software that will evolve to meet the challenges of human genetics.
Hot Topics are a series of essays on emergent areas of computer science, and can only be read in the online version Computing Reviews. They include links to related web pages, articles, and books, and are updated on a regular basis. Computing Reviews is a collaboration between Reviews.com and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
