Computational Biology in Developing Countries [3]

Submitted by Evie Browne on Tue, 2007-12-04 06:05.

Last Friday marked the publication of the next installment in PLoS Computational Biology [4]'s 'Developing Computational Biology' series, a set of perspectives written by authors in developing countries regarding the state of computational sciences in their nations. Friday's is particularly interesting, as it explores the situation in Cuba. We had some concerns at first whether we could even publish a piece from Cuba, seeing as American editing of Cuban work had been previously considered an activity punishable by imprisonment [5]. Luckily, however, a lawsuit had been filed [6] against the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) in 2001, which caused OFAC to reverse this policy and allow Americans to “engage in all the activities that are necessary and incident to publishing works from authors in Iran, Cuba and Sudan without the need to apply for a government license except in very limited circumstances”.
