Here is the contribution from the Biohaskell people (with cc to the list,
in case anybody finds something objectionable).
Thanks for keeping up the good work!

Bioinformatics in Haskell is a steadily growing field, and the
\href{http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/pkg-list.html#cat:bioinformatics}{\emph{Bio}
section} on Hackage now contains 69 libraries and applications. The
\href{http://biohaskell.org}{biohaskell web site} coordinates this
effort, and provides documentation and related information.
Anybody interested in the combination of Haskell and bioinformatics is encouraged
to sign up to the mailing list (currently by emailing
\email{ketil@@malde.org}{Ketil}), and to register and document their contributions on the
\href{http://biohaskell.org}{http://biohaskell.org} wiki.
In the summer of 2014, Sarah Berkemer was financed by Google's
\href{https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2014}{Summer of Code} program to work on optimizing \href{http://blog.malde.org/posts/transitive-alignments.html}{transalign}. After
a summer's work, Sarah was able to improve both \href{space and time
usage}{http://biohaskell.org/GSoC_blog}.
Other new additions are parsers by Floran Eggenhofer for the NCBI
\href{Genbank}{https://hackage.haskell.org/package/Genbank} format and for
\href{Clustal}{https://hackage.haskell.org/package/ClustalParser}
mulitiple sequence alignments. There is also a new \href{library for
working with EEG}{https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hemokit}
devices, written by Niklas Hambüchen and Patrick Chilton.
