Bioperl Release 1.0 has finally come out on March 18, 2002. Bioperl is rapidly becoming the library of choice for many bioinformatics tasks. About Bioperl:
Officially organized in 1995 and existing informally for several years prior, The Bioperl Project is an international association of developers of open source Perl tools for bioinformatics, genomics and life science research.
Bioperl is a collection of perl modules that facilitate the development of perl scripts for bioinformatics applications. As such, it does not include ready to use programs in the sense that many commercial packages and free web-based interfaces (eg Entrez, SRS) do. On the other hand, bioperl does provide reusable perl modules that facilitate writing perl scripts for sequence manipulation, accessing of databases using a range of data formats and execution and parsing of the results of various molecular biology programs including Blast, clustalw, TCoffee, genscan, ESTscan and HMMER. Consequently, bioperl enables developing scripts that can analyze large quantities of sequence data in ways that are typically difficult or impossible with web based systems.
About Perl: Perl is a universal scripting and programming language that is used for many applications. It is easy to learn; its elementary constructs are sufficient to write powerful scripts.
If there is a demand, the lecture will be started with a short (max. 4-week) introduction to Perl Programming. Most of the lecture will be concerned with hands-on work with Bioperl modules and sample scripts.
