Sixth Bioinformatics Open Source Conference
Shipud writes "The sixth Bioinformatics Open Source Conference will take place this June in Detroit, MI. Open source licensed software has proven to be the most popular and useful for bioinformatics research. This includes the EMBOSS suite for sequence analysis, the Biopython; Bioperl, and Biojava collaborativelty constructed toolboxes; the ubiquitous RasMol and PyMol molecular visualization tools, and more, much more. Here is one opinion as to why open source and collaborative development have been such a raging success even at big pharma, despite the apparent IP hurdles." -
Bioperl 1.0 Release
President Chimp Toe writes "The landmark 1.0 release of bioperl has just been announced. Bioperl is an open-source collection of perl modules designed for the life-sciences community, offering a comprehensive range of modules for DNA and protein sequence manipulation and analysis. More broadly speaking, bioperl is a beautiful example of the virtues of open-source programming and code re-use. Assembled over the last few years by a diverse group of individuals from academia and the private sector, bioperl has made life easier for countless bioinformatics and computational biologists. It allows us to cut out the crappy part of programming (dealing with biological data formats, for instance), and concentrate on the fun part - answering biological questions. Thanks all those involved - keep up the good work!" -
