Hey what?s happening?
So Mailing list summaries have stopped because we need someone else to help post these summaries. Not a light job unfortunately. If you are interested, please post to the mailing list or contact Jason, Sendu, or Chris for more details. This is one way you can help BioPerl without contributing code if you [...]
HOWTO automate tree drawing
I updated the Trees HowTo with some code demonstrating how to automatically generate postscript trees from newick or nexus tree files. This uses the Bio::Tree::Draw::Cladogram module that will draw Phylograms or Cladograms. With a few unix tools (eps2png and epstopdf [part of TeX]) you can generate png and pdf files automatically making this an [...]
mediawiki updated
Updated mediawiki to 1.10 Did a bulk creation of a number of modules wiki pages for modules that had been previously created but not added to the wiki.

Modware: a BioPerl based API for Chado
We are announcing a new Sourceforge Project called Modware. It is an object-oriented API written in Perl that creates BioPerl object representations of biological features stored in a Chado database. It basically creates a Bio::Seq object for chromosomes in Chado and creates Bio::SeqFeature::Gene objects for protein coding transcripts stored in Chado. Things like contigs [...]

RSS feeds
I’ve added a page about RSS feeds in BioPerl. These include links to CVS commits as a RSS feed. This a bit of a hack using cvs2rss and cvs2cl and I have hardcoded it to show the last 30 commits only. In addition RSS news is now embedded on the main BioPerl [...]
