Hi Kai,

Do you have the contact details for these last three GSoC 2016 students,
and their mentors (emailing me off list is fine)?

regular-expression-like queries.
* Mariana Nave - improve the prediction for RiPP clusters in antiSMASH
* Christian Fischer - GeneNetwork Genome Browser

We have wrap-up blog posts from everyone else:
