I made a few more changes to shorten the text and remove some of the redundancy. Take a look and see if you are ok with the changes. Without the last sentence (the stats), it would be 289 words now.
Some more comments:
1) The reviewers might ask for the number of active users instead of registered users
2) If you want to make it more useful for students, then you could consider a slightly longer article with more content in an open-access journal such as PLoS Computational Biology (in case the science letter doesn't work out)
3) The last paragraph needs some editing to have a better flow between the first and second sentence
4) I would like to see some future directions at the end as well (maybe collindaven's suggestion, but replace "we" with "seqanswers")
