+In the post-genomic era, getting useful        
+answers to challenging biological questions    
+often demands significant expertise and        
+resources not only to acquire the requisite    
+biological data but also to manage it. The     
+storage required to maintain a workable        
+genomic or proteomic database is usually out   
+of reach for most biologists. Some toolsets    
+already exist to facilitate some aspects of    
+data analysis, and others for access to        
+particular data stores (e.g., NCBI Toolkit),    
+but there is a substantial learning curve to   
+these tools and installation is often          
+non-trival. SeqHoundRWeb.py grew out of a      
+common frustration in bioinformatics---the     
+initiate bioinformaticist often has            
+substantial biological knowledge, but little   
+experience in computing; Python is often held  
+up as a good first scripting language to       
+learn, and in our experience new users can be  
+productive fairly rapidly.
