Dear Dr. Prlic and Everyone, Thanks for the warm welcome. I am so glad that I have the chance to work with the BioJava community this summer. I would like to briefly introduce myself. My name is Jianjiong (JJ) Gao. I am a PhD student in Computer Science at University of Missouri, Columbia. My study is focusing on Bioinformatics, specifically computational proteomics and PTMs.
I came across BioJava about two years ago when I was working on a plugin for Cytoscape, and was attracted by the idea of providing generic Java API for bioinformatics applications. I was thinking maybe someday I could do some coding for BioJava. And now I got the chance :) Best Regards, -JJ On Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 12:33 AM, Andreas Prlic <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear all, > > Google has released the results for GSoC: Congratulations to Mark Chapman > and Jianjiong Gao for having been accepted to work on the MSA and PTM > projects for BioJava!
