BioSyntax: Parsing biological file formats for humans with syntax highlighting
A large component of bioinformatics involves reading and writing data in biological file-formats such as fasta, fastq, bed, gtf, vcf, sam, etc... While being easy to parse computationally, these and other biological file-formats are often illegible for scientists to read and write to directly. I’d propose you join the bioSyntax team and together we will develop a suite of syntax highlighting for bio-formats to be used with common text editors such as gedit or vim. This design solution will help researchers interact with their data more efficiently and gain better insight into the biological world. This project requires a strong understanding of regular expressions, an intimate familiarity with use-cases for some biological file specifications and a flare for human-interface design.
