New Informatics - Introduction
Personal note
Working in a wet lab is actually absolutely the same as programming in Java. You make an assumption, then you build small model, then you implement it and then you see a result. Depending on the results which might be right or not really the ones you expected, you adjust your model and/or implementation and get another set of results. But there is really huge difference between biology wet lab and computer programming. In computer programming you get your results usually immediately but in a wet lab... you have to wait starting from 1 hour and ending by +infinity : )) Wet lab is definetely not for the real informatician guys.

This section of our team WIKI will present thoughts, ideas and results of our team work conecerning informatics side of the project. Usually informaticians are mainly meant to be "modelling guys" or guys "who should know how to do wiki". In our team things happened bit other way and all the moddelling job was captured by engineers and due to lack of knowledge and mostly patients our informaticians absolutely declined to work in a lab.
