PRESENTATION:
 Analyzing Genomes with Open Source by Robert Citek, Washington University

 Earlier this year, both the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Celera,Inc.
 announced that they have completed sequencing the human genome.

 For the first time in history we have the complete "genetic code" available for
 everyone to read. But reading the genome is like reading machine code with all
 the manual pages buried in the code itself.

 In this talk Robert will address why there is so much interest in
 genomes, detail some of the computational problems, and describe how
 Open Source is being used to help analyze these genomic sequences.

Meetings explore open standards, open systems and open source software
with commercial Unix and Unix-like operating systems such as Linux, 
Hurd, and the three BSD flavors.

Meetings of the St. Louis Unix Users Group (SLUUG) are held from
6:30 PM to 9:00 PM every SECOND WEDNESDAY of each month.  Meetings
are free and open to everyone.
