Version 1.0 of the Microsoft Biology Foundation (MBF), which is licensed under the OSI-approved Microsoft Public License, has shipped.
MBF is a language-neutral bioinformatics toolkit built as an extension to the Microsoft .NET Framework, initially aimed at the area of Genomics research.
Currently, it implements a range of parsers for common bioinformatics file formats; a range [...]
BioCurious pitches the “garage biology” movement
This may be your one and only shot at backing a biotechnology startup for less than $10.
http://biocurious.org/ is seeking $30,000 by September 23, 2010 to fund a “hackerspace for the biotech community.” They promise to pay for the first three-month’s rent and purchase lab equipment. The space and equipment will be turned into a co-op [...]

First large-scale attempt to identify undetected genes of microbes in the burgeoning GenBank DNA sequence repository
Experts have used high-performance computing to locate small genes that have been missed by scientists in their quest to define the microbial DNA sequences of life.
Using an ephemeral supercomputer made up of computers from across the world, the mpiBLAST computational tool used by the researchers took only 12 hours instead of the 90 years it [...]
