    ``Java could be a killer app for visually modeling genomic data, but several important problems have to be addressed first, according to Shankar Subramaniam of University of California, San Diego.

    ``Java `is not used very widely' by bioinformatics researchers, said Subramaniam. `There are not enough Java experts in the bioinformatics community, not all the Web browsers are compatible, and it has multiple flavors and varieties. As far as object manipulation and orientation, there need to be standards that are fairly good across multiple operating systems.'

    ``Other important issues that experts discussed at the summit included: How the company can get involved with databases, how it can help establish standards for software such as bioperl and bioxml, and how it can participate in high-end computing for sequence-based analysis, Subramaniam said.''
