Maybe Karsten and Sebastian can help?

This may be a missunderstanding from my blog entries. Open Source
bioinformatics can do all that. But we are not there, yet. I'd
love to be there, though, which is what I am aiming at for 2012:
complete medically relevant workflows that can be run by a
non-bioinformatics IT student at the medical professional's side.
This means a wiki page with screenshots to follow and/or Taverna+Galaxy
implementing such protocols. This is also why I am so much after
Jalview getting in - it blocks Taverna :)
EHEC could/should indeed be a start. It was the start for my thinking
about it :) More interesting than EHEC (the last patient was release
a day or two ago) is the bug coming next. For such emergencies there should
be an infrastructure readily available for everyone to compare the local
wet-lab expertise with what is special in our creepy animal. I cannot
prove it, but it seems plausible to me that there is no automatism
for a cure. And Open Source technologies widely available to inspect
the previously unseen, i.e. a direct interface to Crowd Intelligence,
may be something we just want since there is no time to waste.
Best,
Steffen
