Hey Michael, everyone I just noticed the existence of this group; I'm one of the Bio4j people that Kimmen mentioned below. For anyone who doesn't know what this Bio4j thing is, check the slides from Pablo Pareja presentation at FOSDEM this past weekend: http://ohnosequences.com/slides/fosdem-2014/bio4j-bigger-faster-leaner.
Good to see growing interest in this area, it's been ~4 years since we started working on Bio4j with Neo4j and we were starting to feel a bit lonely :) I do think that there are a lot of opportunities for collaboration in this space!
