[Biopython-dev] Biopython update talk at BOSC 2014

[Wibowo Arindrarto]

Hello everyone,

Our abstract have been submitted. You can access the submitted version
here: http://bit.ly/biopython_bosc_2014_submitted. There are still
some parts we need to update during the abstract review (hopefully
including a newly released 1.64 :) ), but they are minimum.

Have a nice weekend,
Bow
