    ``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 knowledgebase

Dear Gentleman, metalife knowledgebase offers the user a ?single entry point? for research and analysis of available decentralized allocated data. metalife knowledgebase also increasingly integrates data that have been generated by means of own newly developed tools. for instance, by means of the text extraction tools and based on the metalife tmp (tmp = text minding process), data can be derived immediately from scientific publications and used for supplementation of annotations to protein entries or addition of new classes of information to the metalife knowledgebase. the metalife knowledgebase is based on standard components ( pc, sql server 2000). it contains the majority of public accessible molecular biological data as well as indices to the primary data collections, serves as a central in-/output memory for the metalife tools and applications, saves information and knowledge references that are created by highly developed metalife technologies, allows the easy integration of proprietary data and applications, compatible with internet technology. the metalife knowledgebase forms the fundament of our progressive bio-informatics package. best regards your Metateam
