Dear Colleagues
Our group have developed number of webservers (http://www.imtech.res.in/raghava/ ) over the years. I got lot of request related to i) availability of source code; ii) perl scripts used to build software; iii) standalone version of methods.
One of the challenge is whether to release our source code to public or not. Once you release source code than your hardwork goes to public and we create competitors but same time it is useful for young generation. We are releasing large number of scripts to public, we wish to know the opinion of public
Codes are available from
“http://www.imtech.res.in/raghava/gpsr/”http://www.imtech.res.in/raghava/gpsr/
“https://sourceforge.net/projects/gpsraghava/”https://sourceforge.net/projects/gpsraghava/
This is just starting, we are planning to release all software to public in next one year. I will appreciate you comment/suggestion/feedback on this package GPSR.
