Niranjan Swaroop Sharma wrote to tell me about the Bioinformatics Institute
of India which is offering a
whole range of bioinformatics programmes and qualifications in
both regular and distance learning formats. I would have reported on
this earlier, but have not been able to view the site in Mozilla. I finally viewed the
site using Konqueror today
(24Jul03). Perhaps some tinkering with the ASP code is needed
there...
