CHICAGO – This week, a bioinformatics research team at the University of Dundee in the UK received word that the Wellcome Trust will continue funding development of Jalview, software for editing, visualizing, and analyzing sequence alignments, for five more years.
The money wasn't quite what Jalview leader Geoffrey Barton had asked for — Wellcome Trust awards often are not, according to Barton — but it will allow the team to keep working on the software for another five years.
