Hi, I'm a new member. I'm a programmer that just got a job in the genetics world, and am likely to ask a lot of really dumb questions.

Currently I am working on analyzing SOLiD data. At the moment, I am making plugins for samtools, gatk, etc for Vistrails (www.vistrails.org) - yes, I know about and have tried Galaxy, but (being a very opinionated programmer) it doesn't and can't do what I want it to be able to do.

You're from Utah and so is vistrails. Hmmn...

Yes, I confess that's a reason that I even know about vistrails, but I actually have had no real exposure to it until now. My lack of desire to work with Galaxy has little to do with institution bias Are you aware of any other tools out there that might work better? I'm still really new to this world, and ideas are always welcome.
