[BiO BB] Re: BIO_Bulletin_Board digest, Vol 1 #3 - 5 msgs

[kiran challapalli]

Hello everyone,
Let me introduce myself. I am Kiran kumar working as a
Bioinformatics scientist. I like this kind of
interaction and i appreciate the people who are
participating in this activity. It's nice that
Marielle got quite a bit of information related to
bioinformatics books. 
I also request you all to find some time to join in my
bioinformatics club and share our knowledge.
The webadress is-

With best wishes,
Kiran Kumar.c
