+# Biology
+
+## Bioinformatics
+
+Major languages:
+
+for tools and also web-development efforts
+* Python
+* R
+* Java
+* minor c++
+* lately some poeple are big advocats of Rust
+
+for web development,a lot of different web technology stacks are used ranging for older stacks to the latest and greatest with React.js, Vue, etc
+Q: should we try to get some ideas on what is used most? I'll check if I can find some overview publication (eWorkbench?)
+
+A lot of emphasis is put on enabling Reproducible Research lately. This includes container technologies like Docker and workflow systems like Nextflow, snakemake which are the most popular ones.
+
+### Typical journals
+
+A lot of work is published in the following journals:
+
+* Bioinformatics
+* NAR
+* PLoS
+* eLife
+* JOSS
+
+Furthermore, an enormeous amount of articles about bioinformatics software are published on bioarxiv before actual publication via the said journals.
