Dear GenePattern user,

We are preparing the competitive renewal proposal for the R01 grant that supports the GenePattern software. The proposal is due in September and we are asking for your emails and letters of support. To be included with the proposal we need to receive them by September 12. Even a single paragraph telling us how you use the software, giving a brief description of the research that it may have supported in your lab, or describing your favorite feature, will go a long way in helping us obtain the funds to continue to support and enhance the GenePattern package.

Feel free to reply to Jon Bistline (bistline@broad.mit.edu) with your comments.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best,

Jill Mesirov
Director, Computational Biology and Bioinformatics
Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard
