My name is Patrick Miller, and I am with Arpeggi, Inc., a bioinformatics company out of Austin, TX. We also own and operate
BioPlanet.com, which is a free community site with information and tools within the bioinformatics space.
BioPlanet has recently released a survey to gather valuable information about the NGS Informatics space, and we'll be creating a really cool infographic with the survey results to shed some light on the industry. We would love to get input from the people in your BioCurious Bioinformatics group and other friends/colleagues. I was wondering if you would be able to pass along the link to the survey to applicable members of your group etc., as we would love to get responses as many people with bioinformatics experiences as possible. Plus, each respondent gets a free $25 gift card, so why not right?!
I'd also like to mention the free GCAT tool available on the BioPlanet website that allows users to quickly and easily compare different NGS alignment and variant calling tools with one another. I thought it could be very useful to you and your group members bioinformatics work:

Please feel free to contact me any time with questions etc. and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Patrick
