    \frametitle{What is Sol Genomics Network? (SGN)}

    SGN is an NSF-funded Model Organism Database on the web.  \\

    \begin{itemize}
    \item A model organism is a species that is extensively studied to understand
    particular biological phenomena, with the expectation that discoveries made
    in the organism model will provide insight into the workings of other
    organisms.
    \end{itemize}
}

    \frametitle{What is Sol Genomics Network? (Continued)}

    SGN is part of the Lukas Mueller research lab at Boyce Thompson Institute
    for Plant Research (BTI), located on the Cornell University campus. \\

    We study the Solanaceae (Nightshade family): Tomato, Potato, Petunia, Eggplant, and many more

    \frametitle{Code By Numbers}

    Every line of code goes on Github, anything reusable goes to CPAN. \\

    \begin{itemize}
        \item 29 public Github repos
        \item 10 committers
        \item $\sim$ 10 CPAN modules released (more on the way)
        \item Over 200K lines of Perl
        \begin{itemize}
            \item Lots of legacy code, slowly modernizing
            \item Converted to Catalyst last year
        \end{itemize}
    \end{itemize}

\frame{
    \frametitle{Some CPAN Modules}
    \begin{itemize}
        \item Bio::Chado::Schema - DBIx::Class schema for Chado
        \item Bio::GFF3 - Manipulate GFF3 data files
        \item Bio::Blast - Interact with BLAST databases
        \item Catalyst::View::Bio::Seqio - Catalyst view for Bioperl sequences
        \item Yapri - Yet Another Perl R Interface
