You can find it on <a href="http://wiki.nodalpoint.org/nar2007">this wiki page</a>. If you try one of these servers, help the community by leaving a brief comment about your user experience. Was it accessible? Easy to use? Did it do what you wanted or expected? That kind of thing. http://www.nodalpoint.org/2007/08/01/nar_2007_test_drive#comments Bioinformatics nar webserver publications Wed, 01 Aug 2007 20:38:54 -0400 Neil 2268 at http://www.nodalpoint.org
