[Bioperl-l] a quick note

[nkuipers]

I just wanted to formally introduce myself, let people know my slant on 
bioinformatics at this time.

I am in the Dept. of Biology at the University of Victoria (Victoria BC 
Canada) and am on the computational team for GRASP (Genomics Research on 
Atlantic Salmon Project), sort of the Atlantic salmon equivalent of the Human 
Genome Project.  My particular task is to search through our sequences and 
delineate repetitive elements, and for this I use REPuter 
(http://www.genomes.de/), BLAST, as well as some EMBOSS tools.  REPuter in 
particular requires a lot of jumping through hoops to maintain data formatted 
in a standard manner.  My own scripts at this point either munge output from 
one program so that it can be fed into the next, or parse output for 
data-mining.

Hope everyone is doing well,

Nathanael Kuipers
