We thank all the contributors of this series in 2016. Over the summer of 2016/17 we also interviewed
Dr Richard Edwards, Sydney, Australia, and he spoke about the difficulties of maintaining good bioinformatics software tools.
In 2017 we focussed on Open Science & Bioinformatics – go to 2017 Series.
