A Python framework for analysis and visualization of DNA

Over the last several years, our lab has constructed a variety of programs and toolkits using Python, including: our main sequence analysis processing pipeline; a Web interface to the processing system, including a Web service API; a prototype of our current GUI sequence visualization system (written in Jython); and Python wrappers for two C++ toolkits that are in development.

A comprehensive article showing how Python is used for real world bioinformatics application and pipeline development. From Py - The Online Python Zine.

Regulome Project

The next installment of *ome projects hits the deck as an effort to map regulatory protein interactions (read: transcription factors) in the mouse, "as this is the only mammalian system tractable for comprehensive molecular genetic studies."


Biomolecule Naming Service

From the latest issue of The Scientist (free registration), I discovered BNS, the Biological Naming Service.
Looks interesting - would our resident expert (he knows who he is) like to comment?
