  2. Mathemataical annotation example in R: text(i,i+1, substitute(list(xi,eta) == group("(",list(x,y),")"), list(x=i, y=i+1))) Simple really ...
  3. Listening to @rvidal on #c2cbio. Writing a cover letter at the same time.

  14. @neilfws @jandot @mza @jdudley @george_l Been revising gigantron, rails layout for processing data. Feedback welcome. http://bit.ly/TxRXz
  15. @neilfws You could try attributes(object)
  16. @george_l I think xrate is the tool for estimating amino acid transition matrices. Using it on a stockholm aligment with Newick tree works.
  17. @jdudley PhD thesis unfortunately. Though I would like to write a book one day.
  18. Another late night, but another chapter nearing completion. Just one more to go after that.
  19. ActiveRecord is a useful part of Rails for scientific research. Vote for AR development here: http://bit.ly/u4HyJ
  20. @jandot @jdudley @neilfws I think a consistent DSL wrapper to existing plotting libraries would be most useful, e.g. ActionPlotter as a name
