The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: modid: CompBio DSLIP: bdphp description: basic Comp. Biology (bioinformatics) library userid: SEANQ (Sean P. Quinlan) chapterid: 23 (Miscellaneous_Modules) communities: Boston Perl Mongers mailing list similar: bioperl rationale: Provide a set of modules and utilities used for many common, basic bioinformatics proceedures. CompBio is for computational biology, the original term used for what is now more commonly called bioinformatics. The bioperl project already has the, well, bioperl namespace, as well as bioinf. As indicated in the docs, my hope is not to replace or try to outdo bioperl (certainly not on my own!), but to provide a simpler solution to approaching many of the more common tasks I have found regularly needed. Besides CompBio.pm and CompBio/Simple.pm, I plan to make available asap CompBio/DB.pm which is a library of methods using DBI to provide easy ways to getting at commonly needed data. These modules, and some additional utilities and modules which I will upload to CPAN latter if the community feels they are appropriate, have all been developed wholly or patially under grants from the D.O.E. and the N.H.B.L.I. More info will be available in a post I'll send out to comp.lang.perl.modules shortly. Thanks for your time and consideration! -Sean Quinlan [EMAIL PROTECTED] enteredby: SEANQ (Sean P.
