[Bioperl-l] Fw: perly suffix trees--

I still like masak's perl6 simple oneliner for translating a simple  
sequence:

my $dna = "ttaagg"; sub translate($dna) { "FFLLSSSSYY!!CC! 
WLLLLPPPPHHQQRRRRIIIMTTTTNNKKSSRRVVVVAAAADDEEGGGG".comb[map { : 
4($_) }, $dna.trans("tcag" => "0123").comb(/.../)] }; say  
translate($dna)

Scary, ain't it?  It works quite well with rakudo.  See the following  
for the explanation:
