Computational biology has had a language problem. Its computational tools couldn't talk to each other, complicating life for biologists wanting to do multiple analyses on a single genome or protein sequence. Now the World Wide Web and the Web-based language Java are bringing some relief. At the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois, a virtual Biology Workbench is bringing data and tools together where Web users can reach them. Meanwhile, Java-based projects are allowing biologists at their own workstations to create sophisticated displays from data retrieved from distant sources. Computers/Math
