Java based Molecular Biologist's WorkbenchAlternate title: JaMBW 1.1. Welcome to the first public release of JaMBW, the Java based Molecular Biologist's Workbench ideated, coordinated by Luca I.G.TOLDO User Consultant at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory of Heidelberg, and realized thanks to the coding efforts of :Rob Beynon, Eugen Buehler, Ramu Chenna, Andrey Grigoriev, James Knight, Elizabeth Odekirk, PHD Computer Consultant Ltd., Luca I.G. Toldo and Dirk Walther. The programs and documentation that you will find hereby enclosed had been put together in order to try to give a free access to the exploitment of the most common bioinformatic operations that a molecular biologist currently has. The peculiar aspect of JaMBW, however, is to take advantage of the foremost developments in computer science in order to deliver information in a way simple to use. The latter includes, therefore, point-and-click, drag-and-drop, plug-and-play. Most of these requirements are met by the use of Java programming language conformant to the JDK1.02 specifications. To the user of these resources, however, the implementation details are of null interest. And thus JaMBW, simple to use, "runs" everywhere, is simple to install and to get rid of, is free.
