Hi Egor,

I'm not aware of any of the current Biopython development
team doing any text mining work - but I can think of a few
people I've met at hackathons/conferences which might be:

Karin Verspoor, NICTA

Kevin Cohen, University of Colorado School of Medicine

Daniel Jamieson, PhD student at University of Manchester

(I've not checked if they use Python in their work)

However, sorting out a nice combined module for Gene Ontology
support (and ontologies in general) would be good. There are a
number of people already looking at this (check the biopython
and biopython-dev mailing list archives with Google).

Regards,

Peter
