[Bioperl-l] Fwd: Code to contribute

[Rutger Vos]

Sounds exciting! I bet the general advice you'll get is to i) check
out the latest code from svn ii) see which bioperl objects/interfaces
(e.g. Bio::Seq) you'd use to integrate your algorithm into bioperl
iii) write a class that performs the algorithm as some sort of
analysis factory taking the sequence object (or ideally object
interface) as an input iv) run that class by the mailing list v) check
it into svn.
