i'd forgotten i was a member of this tribe until i searched for it and found it again.
well, i've finished my MS and am now in the PhD program for Bioinformatics but i'm not sure now is the best time for it, so that may change. overall things are good and i'm looking for a job now and it is HARD. i can't believe how difficult it is to find bioinformatic jobs. even when i look at the nih jobsite if you put in 'bioinformatic' you get zero results. wth? the nih doesn't need bioinformatic scientists?? i'm pretty darn sure they do.

hope everyone is doing well :)

Just wondering, has anyone come up with a good way to map NCBI protein sequence gi numbers to SwissProt accession codes. It has proven to be harder than I would have thought...

phylogenetic trees

myriadian — Fri, 27 Aug 2004 04:40:44 GMT

so i was wondering what programs ppl are using to draw very nice looking phylogenetic trees? i really prefer radial/circular trees, for some reason the meaning is more clear to me than a rectangular tree.

so far i've been using the os9 version of treeviewppc because treeviewX doesn't draw radial trees. however i've noticed that the end node names sometimes become entangled and no amount of futzing will get them to become distinct.

any recommendations?

Grids?

dnaboy76 — Wed, 14 Jan 2004 09:10:36 GMT

I am just curious to see if anyone out there is using grids in their research. Most of the people in our lab contend that Grid computing is an overhyped technology. I am interested in the release of Apple XGrid.

I guess at this point I am talking to myself. Anyway, I look forward to some good discussion on current and future trends in Bioinformatics.
