Systems Chemical Biology: Integrating Chemistry and Biology for Network Models

Dear Colleagues,

I've been skimming through my notes recently and I've been thinking about a good way to organize things electronically.
Inspired by a post in Bioinformatics Zen, I decided to use a wiki (not MediaWiki, as it's really overkill), and I chose DokuWiki. However I think most of my research is done by taking daily notes, therefore a wiki is not really a good option because daily posts have to be created manually.

Does anyone have a good (free, open source) software solution to reduce the redundancy of a set of sequences (eg return a set where no two sequences are more than 90 % identical, based on a pairwise alignment) ?

After the first interview with Joe Felsenstein, I am continuing with this small project, SciView, with an interview with Brian Golding, from the McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada. For those who don’t know, Brian is the person behind EvolDir, where many researchers find new jobs, solve problems and check the next meeting. I would like to thank him for taking the time to answer my (sometimes) dull questions.

The interview can be read at

The Hitch-hiking novelist Douglas Noel Adams (DNA) once remarked that the World Wide Web (WWW) is the only thing whose shortened form - 'double-you double-you double-you-dot' - takes three times longer to say than what it's "short" for [1]. If he were still with us today, there is plenty of stuff at the 16^th International World Wide Web conference (WWW2007), currently underway in Banff, that would interest him. Here are some short, abbreviated notes on a couple of interesting papers at this years conference. They are relevant to bioinformatics and worth reading, whichever type of DNA you're most interested in.

Bio::BlogsUpdate: Pedro posts on blog round-ups (aka carnivals), morphing into blog journals.

Just in case you have been busy like me or maybe just new to Bio::Blogs, Pedro has once again done some sterling editorial work and posted the Ninth Edition of Bio::Blogs. Apart from this months edition, the are a few good comments on the last edition regarding relevance of blogs and blog carnivals to bioinformatics. I don't want to see Bio::Blogs (and all Pedro's hard work) vanish into the aether, so I'm happy to see nodalpoint become a semi-permanent host of a monthly blog round up under the Bio::Blogs banner. Any further thoughts on the future Bio::Blogs ?
