Harvest looks very interesting! I'm a computational biologist in the field working on a startup called SolveBio (https://www.solvebio.com/). We're working on making the worlds biomedical data easily accessible to programmers and scientists. You might find it interesting and useful, especially to plug into Harvest.

SolveBio is exactly what I've been looking for for some other work I've been doing. We're using Harvest to build a variant filtering and reporting tool for clinical applications. We want to integrate external resources but we don't want to have to waste time writing parsers and keeping up with that public data stuff. Drop me a note (email is in my profile) if you want to talk more.

That looks really cool. I'm working on tranSMART ( http://www.transmartfoundation.org/site/scientistsclinicians ) - a tool for connecting phenotypical and genetical data, perhaps it would make sense to integrate the two. Drop me a mail on j.hudecek at nki.nl. Oh and if you could find a spot for me in the private beta, that would be sweet.
