Asher Baltzell - Homework 3
Codecademy Python Tutorial
Finished. It was fun. I highly recommend taking notes as you go through, as it will make solving the later sections much easier.

Project: Human Genomic Variant Data Integration in CoGe
The general outline of my project is to integrate a system into CoGe for importing, converting, storing and accessing variant data from the Personal Genome Project (PGP). Design of the project is in early stages and I will have a more concrete outline by next week, but overall, the project can be summarized by the following concept map. 
Difficult aspects of solving this problem:
1. I predict the most difficult part of the project will be understanding the fundamentals of CoGe, and how I can integrate a new tool set within the already existing resource (and also not break anything).
2. While I intend on writing the bulk of the code in Python, CoGe is built largely (if not entirely) with Perl. There will likely be some steps necessary to integrate the coding together. I am not yet sure of the difficulties this may present, but it will be a valuable learning opportunity.
