This was GenMAPP’s second year participating in GSoC as an umbrella organization for Cytoscape, GenMAPP-CS and WikiPathways. We had double the students and double the fun!
This year we had the unique opportunity to meet the majority of our GenMAPP Google Summer of Code students in the middle of the program during our Cytoscape Retreat in Toronto.
