Jean-Jack M. Riethoven
Born in Leiden, The Netherlands, in 1967. Attended the University of Leiden and received a drs. degree (equivalent to M.Sc + 2 years research) in Biology, majoring in Bioinformatics and Ethology. Worked for the Netherlands Institute for Ecology, Centre for Estuarine and Marine Ecology (NIOO-CEMO) and the DLO-Research Institute for Agrobiology and Soil Fertility (AB-DLO, currently named Plant Research International), before joining the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI). Worked for ten years at the EBI in the Industry Programme and the Sequence Database Group, before moving to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln as Manager of the Bioinformatics Core Research Facility.

BIOS 428/828 Perl Programming for Biological Application (3 credits)
Sunday, 21 March 2010 20:50
Jean-Jack M. Riethoven
Course description
This course teaches the student the basic skills of computer programming, using the Perl programming language. The Perl language is widely used in the biological sciences, and as such this course will use those domains to exemplify concepts learned during this course. Although Perl is especially prevalent in computational biology, bioinformatics, and genomics the course will demonstrate how Perl can be applied to a wider range of biological sciences (from the instructor's own experience), including but not limited to agronomy, ecology, ethology, and microbiology.
It is understood that real expertise in programming comes with a lot of practice: this course will not make the student a highly skilled programmer but will lay a strong foundation in the general concepts and will demonstrate that it is relatively easy to use Perl for the student's (future) biological research topics where data processing and analysis is required.

Bioinformatics and computational biology related projects - an overview of past projects
Saturday, 20 March 2010 22:33
Jean-Jack M. Riethoven
This page offers an overview of the projects that I have been involved in over the years. Most of these projects are bioinformatics and computational biology related, but some, from my earlier work, are more in the area of statistical analysis and simulation. The projects are listed by reversed date, i.e. the more recent projects first.
