Hello David,
I have not looked at the Cytoscape page ( http://www.cytoscape.org/ ) since last year. I see that the first Cytoscape Users Meeting is being held at the ISB on 25 April 2006. The last page of the article about Cytoscape in Genome Research says that they want to create a data federation, using a relational database as middleware, to connect Cytoscape to a number of databases. Although they do not mention HPF by name, it falls into one of the classifications of types of databases that they enumerate. So I think that your article about the Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI), a joint institute of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Duke University and North Carolina State University, does involve us. I suspect that the data federation they create with Cytoscape to study skin cancer (melanoma) will link to the HPF database among others.

We will not see many direct references to HPF in the literature until the first paper is published. Sigh . . .
