Author Biography
Alan Bleasby is a Senior Scientific Officer at EMBL-EBI. He developed the early EMBOSS programming library (AJAX) at Daresbury Laboratory (Warrington, UK) where he was responsible for the SEQNET UK national bioinformatics service. He now works full-time on EMBOSS. Jon Ison has been a developer of EMBOSS since 2000. He is based at EMBL-EBI and helps coordinate EMBOSS with Peter Rice and Alan Bleasby. He is currently working on ontologies, data integration and application development. Peter Rice is a Group Leader at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI, Hinxton, UK), a centre for research and services in bioinformatics and part of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL). Dr Rice instigated EMBOSS in 1996 when he was based at the Sanger Centre (Hinxton, UK), with Alan Bleasby (SEQNET, Daresbury) and in collaboration with Thure Etzold (EMBL-EBI).
