  • Active forums for people to come and ask for help or for a chat

We hope that you find the site a useful resource! :)

Contributing To The Site

Here at BioinformaticsOnline we actively encourage our users to submit content to all areas of the site - whether they're news posts, job adverts, notifications of conferences, or even just asking or answering questions on the forums. As such all registered users can submit content to all areas of the site using the "Create Content" link in the navigation menu that appears when you are logged in.

Before posting content to the site, please could you have a look at our rules and guidelines.

A short guide to formatting your posts can be found here.

Please note that in the information on the above page, we have a plugin installed that enables you add programming code to your posts and have it automatically syntax highlighted and formatted. This is achieved using the excellent GeSHi syntax highlighting libraries and the GeSHi Filter module for Drupal.

Using the filter is fairly simple, just surround your code with <blockcode type="language">...</blockcode> tags. Supported languages are listed on the composing guidelines page.

Here's an example of some Perl:

#! /usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

print "Hello World!\n";

And some Java:

/**
* The HelloWorld class is an application that
* displays "Hello World!" to the standard output.
*/
public class HelloWorld {
   // Display "Hello World!"
   public static void main(String args[]) {
      System.out.println("Hello World!");
   }
}
