note eyepopslikeamosquito <P> Perl seems well suited to bioinformatics judging by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BioPerl">BioPerl</a>, and given there's an O'Reilly book, <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596003074">Mastering Perl for Bioinformatics</a>, dedicated to the subject. From a number of recent posts I've noticed on use.perl.org, the bioperl community remains active today: <ul> <li> <a href="http://use.perl.org/~david+m/journal/39799">david_m use.perl journal</a> <li> <a href="http://use.perl.org/~david+m/journal/39838">david_m use.perl journal</a> <li> <a href="http://use.perl.org/articles/09/10/22/1355218.shtml">Alias use.perl article</a> </ul> Of course, many other languages and tools (e.g. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Bioinformatics_Foundation">Open Bioinformatics Foundation</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biopython">BioPython</a>) are also well-suited to this domain. </P> 817073 817073
