I think you've really touched the core of the problem that has been curbing Bioinformatics and Computational biology for many years. Very often we encounter people who have good knowledge of one of the fields of computer science and biology while lacking the much needed insight into the other making their effort a one-eyed-vision. A computer scientist, as I have seen takes inspiration from a biological problem and try solving it in his own domain without really appreciating the problem on hand and its importance to biology, while a biologist in many cases 'merely' uses the tools designed by the former without really understanding the fine details and therefore ends up misusing the tool in many cases. What we really need now are training programs which can address this problem and produce individuals who can really push forward this field. A very good article Tiwariji.

Write in same way you wrote last few blogs and it will make sense to those who actually don't know anything about the subject and will take you words farther. And as sethu said sometime during our blind four years, that bioinformatics will have a natural death in years to come I would say he might have touched the shit of this elephant. ;-) More is there in Bioinformatics, but only for those who are serious towards it. And on serious note, in any subject there is lot to learn if one is striving to learn. Keep writing. Cheers, Anand I am truly a fan of your posts now.
