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

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

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

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
