Bioinformatics tools

1. Further develop RBR, a tool for masking repeats. This can include a) optimize (using FastPackedString and/or a new internal data structure); b) extend functionality.

2. Develop a tool for annotation/classification of sequences. This would involve computation on and visualization of graphs (experience with the latter would be really great).

Prior bioinformatics knowledge is not a requirement. Please contact me for details.

I'm probably going to split up this ticket, as there are (at least) two separate projects. I've also written a more detailed description of part one,  available from my home page.

This is the 2006 proposal. I have already done 1), if anybody is very interested, I can dust off 2), but I think the 'bio' lib project is generally more desirable.
