``Many of the important bioinformatics applications that previously existed only for Unix platforms are now being brought over to the Macintosh, thanks to Mac OS X and its Unix underpinnings.
``Traditionally, scientific research has been performed on Unix workstations. This is partly because of the Unix operating system's long, stable history, and partly because Unix systems allow for the easy sharing of information. Now that Apple's Mac OS X operating system is Unix-based, scientists will more easily be able to run their favorite number-crunching or sequence-searching applications on their desktop Mac. Apple has compiled a list of bioinformatics applications that have been ported to Mac OS X in this article[1] on its Science and Technology site.''
