Huh. There were lots of comments here, most of them pointing to BioStar (biostar.stackexchange.com). What happened to them? – Michael Kuhn Jun 16 '11 at 14:20

@biocs note that these are titled "ANNOUNCEMENTS" now, so hopefully you can guess why... – Jeff Atwood♦ Jul 1 '11 at 19:14

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

	(EBI NRDB database: non-redundant protein sequence database.) – WikiSpeedia hang-around Jun 18 '10 at 21:50
	The question could probably be posed in a more elegant way. I am open for suggestions. – WikiSpeedia hang-around Jun 18 '10 at 21:50

Given this question has (almost) even on-topic and off-topic votes, I believe it's quite important to discuss why the votes. I, personally, believe that documentation/learning tools for any field are on topic for such field. This question, however, is too broad and argumentative, making almost impossible to select a correct answer. – Aleadam May 28 '11 at 6:09

	The question is too broad. – Tim N Feb 7 '11 at 22:14
	might become an FAQ though - if maintained properly – Ronald May 20 '11 at 0:55
	I flagged as not a good example. It could be on topic, but as Tim said is too broad and, even worst, the answer will change with time, so the only way I see value in this question is as a wiki list. – Aleadam May 28 '11 at 4:29

from the population of all samples to a given individual, that is. This question illustrates that bionformatics is not only biochemistry and genomics, but also demography, for example. – Victor Jalencas Mar 22 '11 at 0:25

Off topic example should be what we don't want to be discuss on site, but close enough. This is totally unrelated. – Guillaume Coté Jan 27 '11 at 23:14

However, don't be surprised if this topic is touched upon in many ways quite often ;) – WaxWing May 4 '11 at 10:32
