Looking for a programmer to help build a fast, smooth-scrolling,
community-taggable genome browser that we are developing using AJAX and
other technologies...

Early feedback from our prototype indicates that this browser could
transform the way biologists look at genomes.

This is a chance to be involved in a Web 2.0 application that could
influence the direction of bioinformatics in a profound way. What if you
could tag your own genes.... mark up a microbial genome with edits for a
genetic engineering lab... view the human and chimpanzee genomes
side-by-side... (add other life-altering possibilities here...)

The prototype is at genome.biowiki.org (limited functionality, Firefox
only).

For bioinformatics, the emergence of Web 2.0 means faster tools, more
interactivity and the rumblings of a Wikipedia-like community movement
in DNA sequence analysis. Contribute to development in this prestigious
open-source area and take advantage of this opportunity to build a
revolutionary scientific web app with the potential for worldwide uptake
and use.
