Hi Alan, Stuart, Jit and Stian,
Thanks a lot for your kind clarification. Actually I do not need an
exact number since it is somewhat meaningless. I kind of agree with
Stian that we should not count operations in a service as different
services. I think I will use the number shown in Biocatalogue frontpage,
i.e., 1630 services.
Best regards,
Wei
