A Meeting with Owen White

Today i had an opportunity to sit, talk and discuss bioinformatics with none other than Dr Owen White. Owen is the Senior director of Bioinformatics at the former Tigr Institute. He gave an excellent talk on bioinformatics tools and pipelines, that his group have developed . I will be outlining them within the next few days.

Later in the day we talked about sematic web and web 2.0 hurabaroo and its applications in biology. Do these buzz words translate to practical problem solving in bioinformatics? 

Dr Owen says not in the sense that they are talked about.
