  11 <p>Four students participated in our Bioinformatics Summer Internship Program offered through the NSF-funded project entitled Sequence and annotation of the tomato euchromatin:  a framework for Solanceae comparative biology (http://www.sgn.cornell.edu/about/tomato_project_overview.pl). The internships provide opportunities in bioinformatics training for undergraduates and high school students.  Below are photographs of the 2006 summer interns along with descriptions of their projects.  For information on the internships, contact Dr. Joyce Van Eck (jv\@cornell.edu).</p>

She worked on features such as BLASTWatch, which lets users submit sequences which are then BLASTed once a week against the emerging tomato sequence and the users are alerted of new matches by email. Currently, Adri works as a programmer at SGN.
