Dear colleagues, I have now created an on-line petition "Keep BEN alive" where you can support our initiative to try and reverse the unfortunate decision of the Belgian Science Policy makers to stop the funding of BEN, the Belgian bioinformatics server. Please visit http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/belgianben/ to sign this petition. Thank you for your support, Fred R.
