[GSoC] Any project initiative in NGS

Sat Mar 1 06:58:04 UTC 2014

Hello All,
         I am Devang Varia, and i am interested in any projects that are concerning to Next Generation Sequencing Data Analysis. I have a deep sense of understanding biological data and a good grip in java(core + swing), Perl and bioinformatics algorithms. I am also open to any kind of naive idea's i can make a difference in. 
Regards,
Devang Varia
