Possible GSoC project
Hi, I proposed a bioinformatics GSoC project involving Haskell using OSC as the mentoring organization. Typically, haskell.org projects concern infrastructure rather than applications, and I don't know if I'm allowed to submit both places :-) Anyway, as this is a likely place to find prospective students and (co-)mentors, I thought I'd mention it here. But if anybody is interested, I think it makes for a quite focused, solvable problem, which I belive would be quite useful. It could also likely result in a scientific publication of some sort. A quick writeup (that I'll probably update) is here: http://biohaskell.org/Google_Summer_of_Code#optimizing-transalign -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants

What would you say is the level of bioinformatics understanding that one would have to have to even consider applying? - -- Mateusz K. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJRXYwYAAoJEM1mucMq2pqXSzcP/3RfYhPwAQU1LsI3tKa/sRni fBxGOSyPnySqUHzvDIGTw+1Ym3p9Kdy7Mv6l4zh65fcjqBPzRfK6gWWTJ6vYbGT9 poko8LzSmUsXPUnI+jca9W/iWJaR3pTI4iQkhqfpGz9qU2I9OKg0D3oNbFg4rkaS REXRXz0UEioMPh17OkX+O2KXP7SrX2cu879n6AIKptLDCkiUr4dY758PtfbgVE7N z4TNAquZ4ytsajgOD1dBpys8U1aaxNna9MBxhFpglDQXs9CBCZOkK+2DWo99dGD5 opP133bJnhja/fOcUAPW4BhUy28q7Tf78lXet9vWgurWOV1hlv8sRUinosT2UET1 +9nTDD0Y9p93KAysV0YPO+LKrQnwhp/6Qcug48FbqwkfMcJmGgdaq+Yx+LLmEKK2 31Qh8oSnr3Ye782XFXDKtBRtBlima1lPg8tykk3jiFrKqRhjBCPtpWIb6jYTyOTJ 792fyXeMzwUgvZyV3jU7axS5+F44v72i0yKmCrD8gmdNNVMbP4wIVFR7MU/THVo+ FF1qoHc7jiAlLn5/z75CuL7aCi5VTq2x1cxv0EeyRyqOfAxXoNDq0d96J24mVvsF Dar6nfqiH9VOcEnTf/N0WWN3AqSQJ+144NlgFtV5d2pFN4n/5s+DcGIooy68jZbg wdk3DX0s7/IkAT3T/rwz =W2wV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Not very much, some knowledge of string edit distance and dynamic programming would be good, but if not, it's something I can straighten out with a student in an afternoon, I think. -k -- De profundis ad te clamo.

Just a suggestion: People love quizzes and brain teasers. (Remember those google billboards?) If you could blog briefly (expository-style) about this with links to further reading, and more importantly, include "challenges" in the bottom-half, I bet you could get some buzz circulating. Especially if you manage those all-important bragging rights! -- Kim-Ee
