dear sir... it seems very nice and very useful link... you can add many basic tool tutorials like Multiple sequence alignment, Drug related analysis (Eg. ADME property analysis), Pathway reconstruction, Protein and DNA Structure predictions and the complexities in that, many... because these r some current trends know... collection of tools and links r realy great......

thank you for sharing...

Dear Karthik

Thank you so much for your input. I will follow your suggestions.

Dear Rolando,

Well done, congratulations!

However I have some comments and some questions.

At present your guide is available for UF students and staff only, right? I do not have access to all resources which are really interesting. Is there a possiblility to get the access and is this access free or payable?

Is there a possiblility to use full version of your guide on other universities worldwide (for academic and educational purposes). I am opening a new Bioinformatics Center for South-East Asia (at International University, HCM, Vietnam) and your guide would be very useful for a young staff of this Center.

Another comment concerns the contents - could you develop your guide with the protein bioinformatics resources, tools and tutorials? Especially concerning the protein structure prediction, modeling, docking procedures, sequence-structure-function relationships, and molecular phylogenetic analysis?

I have also one comment concerning the "Databases". In this chapter of your guide you list the resources at first places, which are not databases actually. I mean NCBI, EBI, Entrez, BLAST and some others. These are bioinformatics online services rather than databases. And BLAST is a software package for using and processing the databases' records such as UniProtKB for example (for proteins). I think that for new researchers such list could be a little confusing. In this chapter the list should start from biological databases (such UniProtKB, PDB, Gene Bank or PubMed).

Anyway - you did a very good job!

Dear Jacek,

Thank you so much for your insightful comments and suggestions. Some of the resources displayed at this Bioinformatics guide (e.g. journals, software) are accessible only to Univ of Florida people since we have to pay copyrights. If you find resources that you are interested in, please contact your institution library/ information center, and they will be able to help you. Please, feel free to share this guide with whoever you consider ncessary. I will seriously consider your suggestion on the "databases" page.

Sincerely Yours,

Rolando
