Journal lakmiseiru's Journal: Triumph of the Pathetic Intern
Last summer I had an internship at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. I worked on annotation methodology for the Human Genome Project. My programming skills at the time were pathetic (and still are).
We used Apollo, a genome browser written in Great Britain. It's available on SourceForge; the install is pretty easy. Apollo requires Gene Finder Format (GFF) to display data.
I wrote a script in Perl at Baylor that annotated data from a polyA finder in preparation for conversion to GFF. I was checking my former boss' home directory (well, technically, her binaries subdirectory) and I found my program, unmodified, in it!
I guess she liked it enough to keep. I feel proud.
