With respect to the use of computation in your work, what is the CURRENT STATE and AVAILABILITY of the following resources.
1 = Resource is Poor or Relatively Unavailable, 5 = Resource is Excellent, Available, Almost Perfect. How important are computational tools to your work? Are you concerned with your ability to keep up with the latest computational advancements in your field? If you had access to a free personal assistant, a computational sidekick proficient in state-of-the-art computational tools, would they be able to help your research using existing currently available computational tools? (please list all that apply) How useful would you find a "keep it simple", well-organized, and continuously updated website for tools in computational biology? With respect to such a website, how useful would you find the following features?
(1=Not Useful, 5=Very Useful) One way of keeping costs down is to have user contributed content (much like a wiki), would you be willing to contribute your knowledge and expertise in the form of: For the sections on this page please indicate how strongly you agree or disagree with each statement regarding the state of computational tools in each area. We realize that these subject areas are broad, please consider the general case when answering. (This is the longest / most involved page of the survey) With respect to computational tools for NUCLEOTIDE LEVEL ANALYSIS (ie. predictive methods using DNA/RNA sequences, sequence polymorphisms, gene finding / prediction, genome assembly, predicting gene expression, assessing pairwise sequence similarity (ie. BLAST), creating / analyzing / publishing protein multiple sequence alignments, and phylogenetic analysis) please indicate the degree to which you agree or disagree with the following statements. With respect to computational tools for STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY (ie. protein structure prediction / analysis, protein structure solving (x-ray, nmr), protein structure alignment, functional site / active site identification, protein-protein interactions, protein-small molecule interactions, protein design / engineering, DNA/RNA structure analysis, DNA/RNA binding prediction) please indicate the degree to which you agree or disagree with the following statements. With respect to computational tools for SYSTEMS BIOLOGY (ie. intermolecular interactions and biological pathways, systems modeling, genetic regulatory networks) please indicate the degree to which you agree or disagree with the following statements. With respect to computational tools for MICROARRAYS and PROTEOMICS (ie. DNA microarrays, proteomics, mass spectrometry)) please indicate the degree to which you agree or disagree with the following statements. Have you ever collaborated with a computer scientist or computational biologist? Your comments are very helpful. We thank you for completing this survey. We have a few final questions before you go. Should we have any questions regarding your answers to this survey may we contact you via email? Would you like to be kept on a mailing list regarding the progress of creation of a computational biology web resource? |
