[R] RE: dna library

[Matthew Nelson]

Jim,

Thanks for making this library available.  As a trained human geneticist,
but a pharmaceutical scientist who spends most of my time working on
non-genetics projects using S-Plus/RWin/R (Linux), I've often thought that
it would be nice to stick with the same set of tools when I put my
geneticist/bioinformaticist hat back on.  In fact, I will often reformat
various genetics/DNA data sets for analysis in R.

Having said that, I would be happy to contribute to further development of
the library.  I will look for opportunities to use it and pass bug-reports
along to you.  I will also consider ways that it could be enhanced.  If
there are other ways that you feel I could contribute, please let me know.
I have five years of experience programming at various levels in S/R, and am
comfortable coding in C/C++.

Regards,

Matt

Subject: dna library



I have just placed version 0.2 alpha of my library, dna, on my web
page at
www.luc.ac.be/~jlindsey/rcode.html
The R functions in this library cover most of the basic methods of
dna and protein sequence analysis. The library includes ports of
CLUSTAL W for multiple sequence alignment and flip for finding open
reading frames in a dna sequence.
  There are an enormous number of interesting and challenging
statistical problems in current molecular biology and I am hoping that
making these procedures available to the R community will encourage
people to get involved.
  Some links to useful sites for learning about molecular biology can
be found at
www.luc.ac.be/~jlindsey/url.html
  Comments and suggestions for further inclusions in the library are
very welcome.
  Jim
