I tried to build a startup like this, basically a Heroku for bioinformatics, with a bunch of experienced biologist / genome folks. They just didn't get it and on my part, I guess I couldn't sell it to them. Part of it was snobbery, and institutionalized thinking. It was a big disappointment. Some one will do it, but until then it will crappy bioperl scripts, with no version control etc.
