I thought folks here might be interested in this talk on perl, an open-source scripting language.
The talk will be at the Genome Sequencing Center, which is located near the corner of Forest Park Ave & S Newstead Ave. Regards, - Robert ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Matt Follett <[email protected]> Date: 2009/2/17 Subject: [perl-hackers] Curing Cancer with Perl To: General discussion <[email protected]> Please forward to interested parties. ---- St. Louis Perl Mongers Presents: Curing Cancer with Perl Speaker: Dr. David Dooling When: 6:30 PM Wednesday February 18, 2009 Where: 4444 Forest Park Parkway 5th floor, room 5206 St. Louis, MO 63108 (Map) Abstract: Dr. Dooling will be talking about the work being done at the The Genome Center at Washington University. His talk will cover the application of sequencing technology to cancer, the massive scale up of sequencing over the past few years, and how they use Perl to track billions of things per month. About the presenter: Dr. David Dooling is the Assistant Director of The Genome Center, part of the Washington University School of Medicine. Dr. Dooling has played a critical role in the implementation of massively-parallel, next-generation sequencing technologies including Roche/454, Illumina/Solexa, and AB/SOLiD. As part of a multidisciplinary team at The Genome Center, he oversaw the informatics and analysis automation for the sequencing of the first human cancer genome. Throughout his tenure at The Genome Center, Dr. Dooling has contributed to building one of the most advanced and powerful data tracking systems in the world. http://tinyurl.com/b699w9 About the St. Louis Perl Mongers: St. Louis Perl Mongers (STL.PM) is a group of programmers and programmer types in the St. Louis area that meet to talk about Perl, computing topics, and anything of interest at the time.
