I have assigned to create a small Perl module which can be using for bioinformatics and bio statistics. I have searched for many ideas. But almost all ideas are already there in CPAN. Can anyone help to get an idea to create a perl module
for which ideas did you search for? There are for sure modules which are missing for bioinformatics/biostatistics.
Ive searched for graphical representation of sequences, Sequence analysis, Genome diagram, basic of biostatistical methods
Do you write some module for your bachelor thesis, master thesis or PhD thesis?
Did you thought about upcoming topics like long-noncoding RNA or CRIPSPR Cas9? Does it has to be sth completely new? Or wouldn't it be also good to translate existing libraries/packages/modules from other languages (R Bioconductor packages or Python or Ruby) into Perl? (Well of course, for that you have to learn those languages and understand the code for that packages/modules/libraries ... ). And while translating, to improve the package or the usage of the package/module at the same time - so that you can argument that it is not the same thing but an improved version and gives access to the modules functions for Perl programmers ...
Bioconductor in R has plenty of up-to-date packages which are not existent in repositories of other languages (e.g. Python or Perl or Ruby). So you could get inspirations from there. However, I guess it will be not little work.
Thank you for sharing ur ideas with me. I am planning to do this as a Masters' mini project. Ive experience in working with perl. So, I will search for different packages in Bioconductor and try to translate the existing packages with some advances. Thank you once again for giving a clear cut idea for my mini project
