Phenex 1.0.3 is now available. This release fixes a serious bug which caused Phenex to append modified phenotype annotations within files, instead of replacing the previous data. Phenex will now read and write NeXML files correctly. It should also automatically recover the latest data from files saved with older versions of Phenex.
All Phenex users should replace their current copy of Phenex with the latest release. It can be downloaded from the Phenex homepage on the Phenoscape wiki.

Hello all,
As an online student of Bioinformatics based in Nairobi, Kenya, I had a strong desire to undertake a project that would enhance my knowledge and skills in software development. Hence, after completing MSc. Course work at the University of Manchester, UK, I was happy to be awarded an internship from the Phenoscape project for an 11-week traineeship beginning September 21st, 2009 at the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent). This project seeks to establish the developmental and genetic basis of the astonishing morphological heterogeneity across diverse species. In addressing this, a rich and rigorous knowledge base, PhenoscapeKB, constituting evolutionary variable characters across a clade of fishes connected to mutant phenotypes from ZFIN has been developed. Core to the PhenoscapeKB is the modeling of the character entities using ontologies thus facilitating the knowledge synthesis via logical/mathematical reasoning. Read the rest of this entry »
