From: Sean Quinlan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 18 Apr 2002 02:21:56 -0400 Subject: Bioinformatics To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm toying with the idea of doing a presentation on bioinformatics at YAPC. Partially this is motivated as a selling point to my boss(es), as we have a teaching/community outreach requirement for one of our grants I might be able to squeak this in under. Anyway, my problem is I'm not sure what to set as my topic, or what to focus on. One suggestion is that I start with an introduction to bioinformatics and discus some of the available tools. But that seems a little to generic, and not very Perl informative. Unless there will be other more detailed presentations on the subject following I suppose. So I'm looking for ideas. What would those of you on the list not working in bioinformatics be interested in hearing about? Or should I just present a wide array of the ways I know of that Perl has been applied to bioinformatics problems. This may be something that's easier to brainstorm in person with a group of people. If anyone would be interested in that, let me know. TIA! -- Sean Quinlan mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] "You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation" - Plato
