My plan is to do this lazily - so if I need some functionality, I'll rip it out and package it separately. If you want to be more proactive, you are perfectly welcome to. > So what's going on?

God forbid! :-) Well, in order of priority: Well, my main project now is post-processing of BLAST results (or basically, any alignment), by combining results, I get more accurate results in the end. This is pretty big, I think. I'll get into the details as soon as a paper has been accepted. If you are particularly interested, I can send you the draft and link to the code. I have also built a scaffolder using STM. I think clustering might be a kille app for STM, and tried to get this into RECOMB. This is not the right venue, but I think it is more important to talk about STM to Bioinformatics people than to the converts at, say, ICFP. Then, there's a more generic clustering program which I hope to improve some analysis - specifically, sorting out all the different transcript candidates from multiple sources. I'm going to port the program use to STM, too, but the focus here will be on results. I also wanted to publish my assembly evaluation pipeline, but there's only a bit of Haskell in there. It's not rocket surgery, but has been quite useful, I think. And then there's my real job, managing and analyzing bioinformatics data. I fear the biologists who depend on me are unhappy about me wasting my time on this more important stuff, rather than helping them extract sequences from Excel sheets... :-P And I just spent two days in a meeting for our big infrastructure project, essentially building a national data store for marine data. I'm working very hard to make this a glorified FTP server (so that my haskell programs can just slurp data over HTTP, rather than interface to an XSLT-using Java-based API generated by an ORM snorfle gurp TLA). We'll see how it goes. -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants _______________________________________________ Biohaskell mailing list Biohaskell@biohaskell.org http://malde.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/biohaskell
