+ If you would like to help fund the Pymerase project or other projects
+ in the Wold Lab please contact Barbara Wold or send an e-mail to
+ pymerase-devel at lists.sourceforge.net. You can find out more about
+ the Wold Lab in section <a href="#woldlab">1.4</a>
+
+ <div class="p"><!----></div>
+ Additional funding for Pymerase would help in many ways. First of all,
+ Diane and myself (Brandon) also work on other projects in the Wold
+ Lab, so not all of our time goes into the project. Funding would help
+ with the continuing development by providing more time for us to work
+ on the project or the hiring of more programmers to work on the
+ project.
