Hallo Martin,
I seem to remember some time ago you did a survey of who was
using what molecular biology software. (I may be wrong, it
could have been Chris Rawlings - but anyway...)
We would be interested in hearing of the results of any such
survey because the Inter University Software Committee has
got some backing from the Dept of Education and Science to
make a favourable deal for the Universities and Research
Councils for licensing of any commercial molecular biology
(gene sequencing, linkage analysis, protein structure prediction,
crystallography, etc.) software that is deemed to be of
general usefulness. Such packages would then be required
to be maintained on a range of machines, as the IUSC has
required Uniras to do with their graphics package.
Any information and suggestions for suitably useful packages
would be gratefully received.
