The best way to find this out is to search Google Scholar with the term biojava. The last time I looked there was a lot. >- what environments are people using it in? eg commercial, academic Hard to know exactly. According to www.biojava.org/usage/ about 50% of traffic to the site is from .com addresses. It's hard to interpret web traffic as usage and a reasonable amount of the 50% will be from web-crawlers indexing the site. It is definitely used in both commercial and academic settings. >- why do people use Bio-Java as opposed to other applictions. BioJava is not really an application. It is a Java programming library for bioinformatics. I guess they use it cause it's free and it (mostly) works. >I would also be happy to hear personal stories/opinions from people using bio-java. >or anyother bio-java related information would be helpful. >Any assistance would be much appreciated. > >Cheers, >Daniel Park You might want to put a survey form somewhere on the web. We have never done a survey of biojava users and the results might be interesting and help the direction of the project. - Mark _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - Biojava-l@biojava.org http://biojava.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l
