The OpenHelix Blog

From the Cytoscape mailing list this evening:

We are looking for students to help build Cytoscape, GenMAPP
and WikiPathways through the Google Summer of Code 2009
program. If you are a student and are interested in open
source and biology, then you should apply!

There are more details at the link. I love the part where they give you a major HINT on how to strengthen your application….

More on Summer of Code and the different projects involved: http://socrates2.cgl.ucsf.edu/GenMAPP/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2009

If you aren’t familiar with the tools the links to those sites are:

ScienceRoll links to a search engine for Radiology, links to a post about a “Gene Wiki” project, from which I re-find the excellent blog by Deepak Singh. From there I find this interesting resource: FreeBase, which is different that Wikipedia (it doesn’t have ‘articles’, it has stats), which reminds me of that Google project I mentioned earlier and leads me to GoogleBase.

It’s all about finding that info!
