Re: BioChemEntity

Hi Justin,

It was just a glitch (either on the site or my eyes, hard to tell now). 
Contributors are now on a separated tab.

I am not sure though whether examples or ontologies will be attached to 
this type. I know Keneth and Ricardo were working on some examples but 
as this is a wrapper for specialized profiles, well, not sure how to 
proceed. I am happy to provide examples as we point to genes and 
organisms for which there is no specific profile.

I will talk about it with Ricardo, Keneth and Alasdair and will keep the 
list posted on any advance.

Regards,
