    ``Bioinformatics, which straddles the interface between traditional biology and computer science, has emerged as a new discipline that promises to transform research in fields from genomics to pharmacology, and may well reverse the life sciences' longstanding reductionist paradigm. More and more universities are establishing bioinformatics programs to meet the growing demand for training.

    ``James Kent, a graduate student in the laboratory of Alan Zahler at the University of California at Santa Cruz, recently was accorded hero status by the New York Times for his role in the completion of the sequencing of the human genome. In just four weeks, Kent produced a computer program known as the GigAssembler that enabled the public consortium of sequencing laboratories to splice together 400,000 overlapping DNA fragments of the human genome. `I felt proud and a little embarrassed,' said Kent when asked about the Times story. `There are a lot of other people working very hard on this project.'''

metalife bioinformatics explorer
Submitted by Nobody ; posted on Monday, September 9, 2002
Dear Gentleman, In april 2002 the metalife team released the first version of the metalife explorer. with metalife explorer the next central metalife tool is implemented in a first version. It enables the user to access the content of metalife knowledgebase thoroughly. All integrated data sources are exploited with one query. Simple queries as well as advanced queries are possible. The user does not need to know the internal data structures of the different data sources. Cross database queries are possible. A compact yet comprehensive dossier about a gene or a protein can be obtained with a single query. Data obtained from structured databases stand in line with text extracted data. Among others, information of the dossiers includes sequences, pathways, publications, patents and relation to diseases. metalife explorer serves as a core part of the metalife working environment. best regards your Metateam
