A Letter from Dr. Aizawa, Editor of the official international journal of
the Society of Developmental Biology "Mechanisms of Development"
(copy of the letter from one of MOD/MODGEP Editors to all Editors.)
"(........). I wanted to let everyone know that I am helping arrange a special
issue on Medaka research for publication next year. As you know, Medaka has
a long history as an experimental model system in developmental biology.
There are a number of important genetic and genomic resources that are
rapidly being developed for Medaka and it is very timely for MOD to report on
some this progress. Particularly interesting to the field are the differences
and similarities with
the zebrafish system. The special Medaka issue will include results
from recent large-scale genetic screens and hopefully a number of
high quality research papers and invited reviews from leaders in the
field. In light of the International efforts in generating Medaka
reagents and research tools, I believe that this issue of MOD could
have a significant impact. ........."
Someone who has interests on this matter, please contact to Dr. Aizawa

editorである相沢先生から以下のメールをメダカ関係者に流して欲しいと依頼されま
した。アメリカ人エデイタ−の一人からのメールです。希望や提案があり
ましたら直接相沢先生までお願いします。 （武田)
先日送りましたメイルは誤解を招きそうですので注釈しておきます。手紙はエデイタ−間でのもので、メダカ研究者にあてられたものではありません。special Medaka issue
が採用されるか否かはまだ最終決定ではないようです。相沢先生への提案内容次第であると理解してください（堀）。
