[GMOD-devel] SynBrowse Developers Needed

[Dave C. G. H. D. <gmo...@go...>]

Hello all,

The SynBrowse synteny viewer, a GMOD component, is moving towards its
second major release. Xiaokang Pan, the project's lead developer, is
looking for volunteer developers to help get this release out sooner.

SynBrowse2 is written in Perl, and is built on several open source
components, including parts of GBrowse. SynBrowse2 need particular
improvements in run-time performance and its alignment parsing tools.
Ideally, programmers will develop SynBrowse2 using a set of animal or
microbial genomes (Xiaokang is already working with several plant
genomes). Programmers can improve the alignment parsing tools, fix
potential bugs and hopefully improve other parts of SynBrowse as well.

See http://www.synbrowse.org/ and http://gmod.org/SynBrowse for more
on SynBrowse.

If you have any interest in and/or experience with multiple alignment
or synteny visualization tools please considering contributing to the
SynBrowse project. Xiaokang can be reached at xia...@gm....

Thanks,
