We may want to add the name proteomics to this. I was originally looking for a proteomics proposal but fond nothing. I know bioinformatics is a wide topic, sufficient enough to get attention, but perhaps adding proteomics to the description will help??? – nicorellius Jun 23 '10 at 16:40

a paper on Biostar has been published on PLoS Computational Biology: ploscompbiol.org/article/… – dalloliogm Oct 28 '11 at 14:52
