[GSoC] [BioRuby] GSoC final report

[Brad Chapman]

Peter;
Thanks for doing this. Happy to help from my end. For Lenna's project
here is some text to use:

Lenna Peterson worked on improving support for variation analysis in
Biopython. Her summer work produced tools for manipulating
[VCF (variant call format)][0] in Python, a thorough investigation of incorporating
[PyVCF][1] into Biopython, and tools to handle clean coordinate mapping
between transcripts and genomic coordinates. [Her blog][2] has detailed
discussions of progress during the summer and the code is in a
[branch on GitHub][3] awaiting inclusion into Biopython.

Let me know if anything else would be useful,
Brad
