[dancer-users] How to cite Perl Dancer

[Michael Wolfinger]

You're right. Our Java client is just used for pre-processing the raw
NGS data, extracting read start information from mapped NGS data (since
we do not want users to upload gigabyte-sized BAM/SAM files). We are
using Dancer as lightweight interface between the client and the
effective (Perl and R-based) statistics tools, ie. our Dancer
application controls calculation statistics and post-processing jobs
submitted to the grid engine cluster and does the session handling and
backend stuff. It the tool gets adopted by the scientific community, we
will publish a RESTful API for our transcription start site annotation
web service.
