[Bioperl-l] Proposal of GSoC 2012 >> ACEtoSAM and SAMtoACE

[afia hayati]

Dear all,

I am afia, a PhD student in Bioinformatics.  I am so interested to
participate GSoC and would like to apply for project Bio::Assembly, Ace2Sam
and Sam2Ace converter. I have written a proposal based on the guidance for
prospective GSoC student. I paste my proposal in here.
If you have time, please give me suggestions.
Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
Afiahayati

   *Motivation to join this project *

   I am a PhD student in bioinformatics. My research is in genome assembly,
   especially metagenome assembly. I have same idea that the converter from
   ACEtoSAM and vice versa is very useful. I am familiar with Perl and
   BioPerl, so there is no reason for not participating in this project

    3.

   *Project Plan *

    1.

      *Before April 23 *
       1.

         Study the format of SAM and ACE more detail
         2.

         Study the biodesign related to module Bio::Assembly::IO especially
         Bio::Assembly::IO::ACE and Bio::Assembly::IO::SAM
         3.

         Study the documentation and the code of module
         Bio::Assembly::IO::ACE and Bio::Assembly::IO::SAM

          2.

      *April 23 - May 20 (before official coding period) *
       1.

         To do self coding for Bio::Assembly::IO::ACE and
         Bio::Assembly::IO::SAM to improve my understand.
         2.

         Keep contact with my mentor and the BioPerl community. I will
         active in mailing list and IRC to confirm my understanding about
         Bio::Assembly::IO::ACE and Bio::Assembly::IO::SAM and also discuss the
         operations (the methods) needed for a module ACEtoSAM and SAMtoACE
         converting.
         3.

         With the supervision from my mentor, try to determine the
         appropriate design of module ACEtoSAM and SAMtoACE converting.

          3.

      *May 21 - June 21 *
       1.

         Determine the final design of module ACEtoSAM and SAMtoACE
         converting.
         2.

         Code the module ACEtoSAM and SAMtoACE converting
         3.

         Test my code by myself
         4.

         Discuss with my mentor to design good test
