Re: ISMB/ECCB2007 Demo Acceptance

Thanks for the suggestion Bill. As I've mentioned before, I think that 
the addition of a spatialization mapping (ala visualization) would 
broaden the appeal of the demo and interest more people from the wet lab 
and clinical areas with a tangible (visible) example.
