What is ask.xbase.ac.uk?

Ask xBASE is a Q&A site in the style of the Stackexchange network of sites, such as Stackoverflow for programming and Biostar for bioinformatics.

Ask xBASE is specifically intended for questions and answers about the xBASE project - a resource for bacterial whole-genome comparison. We anticipate most of the questions will relate to this subject, and how xBASE can be used to help this field of study.
