Bioinformatics in Haskell is a steadily growing field, and the
\href{http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/pkg-list.html#cat:bioinformatics}{\emph{Bio}
  section} on Hackage now contains 45 libraries and applications. The
\href{http://biohaskell.org}{biohaskell web site} coordinates this
effort, and provides documentation and related information.
Anybody interested in the combination of Haskell and bioinformatics is encouraged
to sign up to the
\href{http://biohaskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/biohaskell}{mailing
  list}, and to register and document their contributions on the
\href{http://biohaskell.org}{http://biohaskell.org} wiki.

Bioinformatics is a diverse field, and consequently, we have
different \href{http://biohaskell.org/Libraries}{libraries} covering
mostly separate areas.

Recently, the \href{http://biohaskell.org/Libraries/Bio}{\emph{biolib
 library}} is being split up into smaller, standalone packages, which
along with other contributions, depend on the small
\href{http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/biocore}{biocore} library
for some standard data types and definitions.

Among new contributions is Christian's
\href{http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ADPfusion}{ADPfusion library} (cf. its
entry in this report), combining Robert Giegerich's Algebraic Dynamic
Programming with stream-fusing combinators.
