The Ultimate Astro Widget
Description:
This is a Dashboard widget for Mac OS X Tiger. It computes the UTC, LST, JD and MJD for provided observatories in the world. It can also computed airmass curves and observablities. It is not a script by itself rather than a collection of CSS, Javascript, HTML, Python and C scripts... But it provides excellent examples computations n javascript, how to manage XML files and XMLHttpRequests in Javascripts, as well as some basic python stuff.

Entuned.pl reads a newline delimited list of Ensembl numbers from a text file, accesses the ensembl.org website to find the corresponding Entrez and UniGene numbers. the output of the program is a comma delimited text file containing 7 fields (ensembl.org URL for the specific ensemble number, the ensemble number, the URL for the Entrez number, the Entrez number, the URL for the UniGene number, the UniGene number, the description of the gene from the ensembl.org web page). This program converts Enemble numbers to Entrez and UniGene numbers.

Updates NCBI Blast Databases (e.g. for cron job)
Description:
fetch_ncbi_db.pl is a script I wrote to automatically update the blast databases from NCBI. We regularly need to make sure the databases are up to date, so we set up a weekly cron job to download them. It does not check if the files have been updated before downloading them, since the databases we use are updated very regularly.
