The success of a mutagen assessment program depends strongly on the efficacy of the screening system, for most of the decisions regarding individual chemicals must be made on the basis of short-term screening tests. The criteria for choosing test systems are discussed in Chapter 6. On the basis of these criteria, the Committee has selected a set of tests, listed as "principal shortterm tests" in Table 9-1. Confirmatory rodent tests and supplementary tests are also listed. 

Considerable experimental data are available for liquid densities of pure compounds as a function of temperature and pressure. Refer to the sources listed in Tables 1.10 and 1.11 or the supplementary reference to this chapter for data and correlation formulas. Wooley gives formulas (and a computer program) to estimate the liquid density given T. p, and and/or any liquid density reference point. 

Furthermore, two files were generated containing the amino acid sequences of 684 fly and 405 worm translation products in FASTA format identified in the above screen. Batch BLASTp analysis of the fly protein set versus the worm protein set and vice versa was performed using locally installed stand-alone BLAST program (59). Genes represented in both data sets, termed HRE relatives, are listed in Table 2 ( Both table). Selected results for the individual fly and worm data sets can be found in Table 3 ( Fly table ) and Table 4 ( Worm table ). The entire fly and worm data sets are available as supplementary information at http //bium.bwh.harvard.edu/ with entries categorized by function.
