What kind of things can you you do with the Microsoft Biology Foundation?

Imagine the possibilities and get started today. Here are some ideas to inspire you:

A universal file format translator
A tool to perform automated quality control on large volumes of raw sequence data
A tool to predict genes in DNA sequence
An application to annotate a bacterial genome
Visualization of the relationships between an identified gene and homologs in other species
A tool to visualize the similarities and differences between whole genomes of related species
A tool to visualize and manipulate a de Bruijn graph to guide assembly
