Not knowing when the last update was and what was included in it, I was wondering if anybody had any thoughts on which of the various DAS developments should form part of this update? Cheers, Andy From rdf at sanger.ac.uk Wed May 14 10:12:39 2008 From: rdf at sanger.ac.uk (Rob Finn) Date: Wed, 14 May 2008 15:12:39 +0100 Subject: [DAS] BioDAS project update In-Reply-To: <482AED9B.3070905@ebi.ac.uk> References: <482AED9B.3070905@ebi.ac.uk> Message-ID: I guess the DAS molecular interaction extension may be one thing to present. However, the broad scope of it should be presented, i.e. protein/ligands and pathways as well as protein-protein interactions.
