After some commenters on my last post seemed happy to hear that pygr was the focus of some summer work, I realized I had only discussed the pygr summer work in a post to the biology-in-python list.
Whoops.
So, here's the scoop …

Dear Lazyweb, help!
I'm embarking on a number of summer projects in my new lab at MSU, and several of them focus on using pygr to do cool genomic stuff. In particular, I'm planning to build a personal genome annotation system that will let people run their own full genome …

I spent some time over the last week adding fairly simple motif searching to Cartwheel, my bioinformatics site for biologists doing cis-regulatory analysis of genomic sequence. The new features include the ability to define and search with IUPAC and position-weight matrix (PWM) motifs, as well as visualization of motif search …

I just finished a chapter for a book, Methods in Avian Embryology, being edited by my boss, Marianne Bronner-Fraser. This chapter is intended for developmental biologists who are interested in locating regulatory modules and analyzing them for binding sites. It ended up being my outlet for a compilation of problems …

heh, this applies to many fields, I think...
Luis Ibanez This presentation is a satire of the current obsession with intellectual property, innovation and originality that plagues the field of medical image analysis. The presentation makes the point that most Journals and Conferences focus on Originality and despise Reproducibility and …read more

My Computer Science department at Michigan State University is looking for an assistant professor! We are casting a fairly wide net (databases, graphics, medical imaging, and bioinformatics) but I'd really like to attract a bioinformatician.
The Computer Science department at MSU is a nice, small department …
