[Bioclusters] gridMathematica and bioinformatics

[Joe Landman]

Hi Andrew:

  I am not Chris and I don't play him on TV ...   though I would like to 
point you over to our excellent biodevelopers email list in addition to 
the biocluster list.  The two lists do have some overlap, but you might 
find more of the development audience you were looking for there.
