Re: [edlug] anyone for bio-informatics?

[Catriona & Anand <trianand@xxx.xxx.xxx>]

Hm. It is a couple of years since I had to delve into that area. I remember 
thinking then that it was a shame about the proliferation of formats. It was 
clear even then that there were a number of software savvy geneticists doing 
really interesting work and the rest of the research community were sort of 
bobbing along in their wake. Lovely to think that free/open source toolkits 
are being developed. I wonder when these will be taught formally in 
undergraduate biosciences courses.
