Rise in Genomic Data Drives USPTO to Impose One-Sequence Limit on Nucleotide Patents
The USPTO said that because of the “exponential” increase in genomic databases over the past decade, “it now requires significantly more computational time to run individual nucleotide sequence searches for examination purposes than in 1996, and there is significantly more pertinent prior art to consider.”

ISMB 2007 Attracts 1,700 to Vienna; Talks Blend Biology Roots and Cutting-Edge Tools
The conference indicated a divided discipline, with old-school stalwarts trumpeting the need to keep up with biological advances, while computer scientists and bioinformaticists decried the need for new and improved software tools.

Keio University Researchers Wow ISMB Crowd With New 3D Front End for E-Cell Platform
The E-Cell Project kicked off in 1996 with the goal of developing a comprehensive computational platform for whole-cell simulation. Now, with E-Cell 3D, the effort has pushed its simulation capabilities into the third dimension via a new interface that enables researchers to model cellular systems with 3D graphics.
