Tasks for this Tues/Thurs

1. Advance CDC prevalence parsing program - though I don't think that needs more work (edit: done below)
2. I need a new direction for work - are there any tasks that need to be completed?
   • I was thinking of ways to begin tackling the not-in-OMIM case - I can do some code consolidation for sequences that are CDS but not documented, and pursue the AA change/frameshift/etc... type analysis we tackled earlier in class into something coherent.

Slight modification to prev. program

#ICD9_prevalance.py
#Zachary Sun
#4.23.07, Biophysics 101

#This code does a couple of things:
#1) Enables lookup of ICD9 ID numbers when given a search term
#    *This is particularly useful as all data (WHO, CDC) is based
#    *on the ICD9 ID, which is a method of classifying all known
#    *diseases. This code is able to queue a website, http://icd9cm.chrisendres.com
#    *which has the database of diseases - it returns the best hits
#    *in dirty HTML, which can then be parsed to obtain ICD9 #'s and description.
#2) Enables lookup of prevalance data in databased
#    *Currently, I only have it hooked up to the State of CA prevalance data from
#    *http://www.oshpd.ca.gov/hqad/PatientLevel/ICD9_Codes/index.htm, it does a
#    *lookup based on #1 and returns prevalance data. As soon as I find more databases
#    *I can extend the search; I haven't found much good though save the main CDC db
#    *at http://wonder.cdc.gov/.
