[Bioperl-l] please recommend a book about next-generation sequencer -> bioperl

[Yoshiro Nagao]

Hi Alexey,

Thank you very much for your comment.
It seems to me, from what Frank wrote, that Bioperl just provides wrappers from which assembled modules are called...

Anyway, I will consider whether to use lower level language (such as C) or compile Perl codes by using a commertial compiler.

Thanks again,

Yoshiro

You probably will want to either assemble it, align it to some refernece genome or measure metagenomic statistics. For all these tasks some lower-level language with more efficient memory handling will be much much better.
