DAS workshop 2008

Invitation to DAS workshop 2008

We are organizing a 2-day workshop on DAS

About

DAS is an important system for exchanging and viewing of biological data, with more than 300 DAS sources available world wide. Several different projects are working on applications and resources to provide DAS support. The purpose of this meeting is to improve communication between these projects and let interested people learn what they can do with DAS and how to do it.
