Rich, add functionality comments and new feature suggestions here.

One quick inital suggestion. geWorkbench should be able to import files in the following GCG formats: sequence, mutiple sequence, and rsf.

(5/23/06) A more robust couterpart of k-means clustering with statistical estimates for micorarray analysis is described in the following papers:

5/30/06 I don't like the slider to change arrays in the microarray widow. The identity of an array is a fixed, not a variable quantity. I suggest that a pull-down window for this would be better.

Tutorials Comments

Tutorials comments go here.

The initial download should come with all of the datasets in the tutorial (the cardio set was missing when I installed) OR the tutorial should show where these can be downloaded.

3/30/06: Some mention of what the micorarray viewer does should be included in the manual - i.e that it shows a raw image of the chip.

3/30/06: What it means to merge microarray files should be stated more explicitly.
