[GSoC] GSOC project: improve SegAnnDB interactive DNA copy number analysis

[Raoul Bonnal]

Dear Toby,
yeas I think it fits and do you think that would be reasonable to not just write python code but where possible extend biopython and incorporate your code there ? We encourage reusability and extension as mush as possible.
There are also another project which has client and also server side in javascript

http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2014_Ideas#bionode_-_A_Node.js_JavaScript_library_for_client_and_server_side_bioinformatics

and about R there is another interesting project proposed

http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2014_Ideas#Integrate_basic_Bioconductor_functionalities_in_fastr_.28Java.2FR.29



It is nice to see a lot of overlaps between projects ^_^

Cheers
