[BiO BB] hat kinds of data mining techniques have been using indrug discovery and drug delivery

[Xue Li]

Thank you, Mike, for your such long help :P

I am just a beginner in Data mining and bioinformatics, so I am sure about
the problems with cygwin and perl. I know that there is Bio++ where some C++
library for bioinformatics are be found.

Hope it will help.
