So the other language modules are going to communicate with the core via
e.g. XML ?

I can tell about some tools needed for sequence analysis ...
P=port D=develop

high priority:
* P/D basic sequence format conversions (readseq)
* P sequence alignment (clustalw)
* P/D colored alignment viewer/editor, like seaview
* P setting up and maintain sequence databases like SWISS, EMBL
* P local blast service
* D interface to www blast
* D/P tools to manage blast results
* P Sequence retrieval System (SRS)
* P phylogenetic tools FREE: ( PHYLIP package, Tools from Lyon)

not quite so high priority:
* D simple database engine and interface for ??? LabResults/Sequences ...
* D phylogenetic tools PAY: - integration of PAUP*
* D/P Primer picking
* D/P integration of Sequence assembly programs, like STADEN, Phred&Phrap
* D management of genome sequences
