It's a must read actually if you're even remotely into that sort of thing.</p>mndociWed, 24 Oct 2007 10:17:38 -0000http://mndoci.com/blog/2007/10/12/collective-intelligence-in-the-life-sciences/#comment-1304878<p>Hi Deepak, I agree whole heartedly with simple APIs. SOAP-and-WSDL seem inappropriate for a lot of bioinformatics. This <a href="http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~hulld/q2007-06-30.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~hulld/q2007-06-30.html">O'Reilly book on REST</a> is a great howto, been passing it around the lab here, its a good read if you're into that sort of thing. Cheers. Duncan</p>Duncan HullWed, 24 Oct 2007 09:55:39 -0000http://mndoci.com/blog/2007/10/12/collective-intelligence-in-the-life-sciences/#comment-1304877<p>I didn't know. Funny thing is that I gave a presentation on biosimulation companies just last week which included a mention of GeneStruct and their methodology :)</p>mndociFri, 12 Oct 2007 20:55:10 -0000http://mndoci.com/blog/2007/10/12/collective-intelligence-in-the-life-sciences/#comment-1304876<p>Perhaps you will be pleasantly unsurprised to learn that the author Toby Segaran has been the Director of Software Development at Genstruct an AI based biotech.</p>cariasoFri, 12 Oct 2007 19:24:55 -0000
