Mongers,

Just a quick reminder about today's meeting. The location is still not
100%. We are planning on having this meeting in Bell 242 on UB's North
Campus. I'm still awaiting a response and need to finalize the details
with the computer science department before confirming - if anyone
else
has any alternate suggestions, please let me know. I will send out the
location later this after noon - sorry for the delay.

Time:       7:00 PM
Location: TBA
Topics/Presenters:

Perl & Bioinformatics 
By: Ganesh Shankar
(30 - 45 Minutes)

"Perl became firmly associated with Biology during the Human Genome
Project. The usefulness of Perl for text manipulation and pattern
matching has been argued to have saved the genome project.
Additionally,
Perl is used to locate signal sequences, design primers, and convert
data formats. I will talk of the historical ( 6 years ago! ) and
current
uses of Perl. I'll also point the Mongers to the BioPerl project,
which
attempts to deal with bioinformatic needs at a more abstract,
organized
level."


Intro Perl & Cool Tricks  - "Map & Grep" 
By: Kevin Eye
(15 - 20 Minutes)

"The most underappreciated functions of Perl are map and grep. With
them available, I hardly use for loops, and I think the code is
clearer, too..."  ~ K.E.


Intro To Writing Perl Modules 
By: Kevin Eye
(45 - 60 Minutes)
