A list for 'regular users' will be added once a more formal release of the code modules is available. Meanwhile, feel free to post questions, comments, and suggestions here.

Organizations

Bioinformatics.org - " Bioinformatics.Org is an international organization which promotes freedom and openness in the field of bioinformatics. This is done by providing free and open resources for research, development and education so that such resources can be further developed.[...]"
(These are also the kind folks who are hosting the project pages, mailing lists, website mirror, etc. for this BioPHP project, as well as a wide variety of other Open-Source Bioinformatics projects.)

The Open Bioinformatics Foundation - "a non profit, volunteer run organization focused on supporting open source programming in bioinformatics. "

Similar Projects

GenePHP. Serge Gregorio's project - we both started BioPHP projects at roughly the same time without realizing it. He also beat me by at least a week in getting actual code posted online, so he gets credit for 'first active BioPHP project'. The focus at this site is less on "modules" and more on ready-made, mostly standalone scripts. Serge has a fairly extensive set of examples posted on his site - well worth checking out.

PHPLabware - Nico Stuurman's project. Nico has also been a BioPHP/GenePHP contributing developer, particularly on the data import module.

Another BioPHP - I haven't heard from them in a while, but this group in Norway is working on sequence annotation database code - they also beat me to registering BioPHP.org, which is the reason we are described as "a biophp project" rather than "the biophp project". You can thank (or blame, if you prefer) them for providing the metaphorical "kick in the butt" that got the BioPHP concept to grow from isolated individuals wishing that such projects existed to groups of individuals actually releasing code...

BioPerl - Metaphorical GrandDaddy of all of these projects

BioPython - Hate Perl? Try this one...

BioJava - Just like the name implies.

Useful Sites

PHP - Homepage for the easy-to-learn-and-use cross-platform language used for BioPHP.

NCBI - The National Center for Biotechnology Information.
Quite probably the biggest publically-available repository of biotechnology-related information existing.
