Bio::ASN1::EntrezGene and Bio::ASN1::Sequence are regular expression-based parsers for NCBI Entrez Gene genome databases (http://www.ncbi.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=gene).

They parse ASN.1-formatted Entrez Gene records and NCBI sequences, returning data structures that contain all data items from the gene records or the sequence records.

The parser will report error & line number if input data does not conform to the NCBI Entrez Gene genome or NCBI Sequence annotation file format.

Bio::ASN1::Sequence is basically a modified version of the high-performance Bio::ASN1::EntrezGene parser. However this standalone module exists since it is more efficient to keep Sequence-specific code out of EntrezGene.pm.

The module Bio::Chado::Schema is a standard object-relational mapping layer for use with the GMOD Chado database schema. Chado is an open-source modular database schema for biological data.

Bio::DB::BioFetch is a guaranteed best effort sequence entry fetching method. It goes to the Web-based dbfetch server located at the EBI (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/dbfetch/dbfetch) to retrieve sequences in the EMBL or GenBank sequence repositories.

Bio::DB::BioFetch implements all the Bio::DB::RandomAccessI interface, plus the get_Stream_by_id() and get_Stream_by_acc() methods that are found in the Bio::DB::SwissProt interface.

Allows the dynamic retrieval of sequence objects Bio::Seq from the EMBL database using the dbfetch script at EBI: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/dbfetch/dbfetch.

In order to make changes transparent host type (currently only ebi) and location (defaults to ebi) were separated out. This allows later additions of more servers in different geographical locations.

The functionality of this module is inherited from Bio::DB::DBFetch which implements Bio::DB::WebDBSeqI.

HTSlib is an implementation of a unified C library for accessing common file formats, such as SAM (Sequence Alignment/Map), CRAM and VCF (Variant Call Format), used for high-throughput sequencing data, and is the core library used by samtools and bcftools. HTSlib only depends on zlib. It is known to be compatible with gcc, g++ and clang.

HTSlib implements a generalized BAM (binary SAM) index, with file extension 'csi' (coordinate-sorted index). The HTSlib file reader first looks for the new index and then for the old if the new index is absent.

This package provides a Perl interface to the HTS library.

Provides a single place to setup some common methods for querying NCBI web databases. Bio::DB::NCBIHelper just centralizes the methods for constructing a URL for querying NCBI GenBank and NCBI GenPept and the common HTML stripping done in postprocess_data().

The base NCBI query URL used is: https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi

The Bio::DB::SeqFeature object is the default SeqFeature class stored in Bio::DB::SeqFeature databases. It implements both the Bio::DB::SeqFeature::NormalizedFeatureI and Bio::DB::SeqFeature::NormalizedTableFeatureI interfaces, which means that its subfeatures, if any, are stored in the database in a normalized fashion, and that the parent/child hierarchy of features and subfeatures are also stored in the database as set of tuples. This provides efficiencies in both storage and retrieval speed.

Typically you will not create Bio::DB::SeqFeature directly, but will ask the database to do so on your behalf, as described in Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store.

The Bioperl project is a coordinated effort to collect computational methods routinely used in bioinformatics into a set of standard CPAN-style, well-documented, and freely available Perl modules. This package provides a programmatic interface to NCBI's Entrez Programming Utilities commonly referred to as E-utilities. Namely, it provides the Bio::DB::EUtilities and Bio::Tools::EUtilities perl modules.

Entrez is a federated search engine at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) for a large number of databases covering a variety of biomedical data, including nucleotide and protein sequences, gene records, three-dimensional molecular structures, and the biomedical literature.

An I/O iterator subsystem for genomic sequence features.

Bio::FeatureIO is a handler module for the formats in the FeatureIO set (eg, Bio::FeatureIO::GFF). It is the officially sanctioned way of getting at the format objects, which most people should use.

The Bio::FeatureIO system can be thought of like biological file handles. They are attached to filehandles with smart formatting rules (eg, GFF format, or BED format) and can either read or write feature objects (Bio::SeqFeature objects, or more correctly, Bio::FeatureHolderI implementing objects, of which Bio::SeqFeature is one such object). If you want to know what to do with a Bio::SeqFeatureI object, read Bio::SeqFeatureI.

The idea is that you request a stream object for a particular format. All the stream objects have a notion of an internal file that is read from or written to. A particular FeatureIO object instance is configured for either input or output. A specific example of a stream object is the Bio::FeatureIO::gff object.

The Bio::Graphics::Panel class provides drawing and formatting services for any object that implements the Bio::SeqFeatureI interface, including Ace::Sequence::Feature, Das::Segment::Feature and Bio::DB::Graphics objects. It can be used to draw sequence annotations, physical (contig) maps, protein domains, or any other type of map in which a set of discrete ranges need to be laid out on the number line.

 edlibAlign("hello", 5, "world!", 6,
            edlibDefaultAlignConfig()).editDistance;
Features

• Calculates edit distance (Levehnstein distance).
• It can find optimal alignment path (instructions how to transform first sequence into the second sequence).
• It can find just the start and/or end locations of alignment path - can be useful when speed is more important than having exact alignment path.
• Supports multiple alignment methods: global(NW), prefix(SHW) and infix(HW), each of them useful for different scenarios.
• You can extend character equality definition, enabling you to e.g. have wildcard characters, to have case insensitive alignment or to work with degenerate nucleotides.
• It can easily handle small or very large sequences, even when finding alignment path, while consuming very little memory.
• Super fast thanks to Myers's bit-vector algorithm.

The library automatically handles index file generation and use.

Features:

• FASTA index (.fai) generation for FASTA files
• Sequence extraction
• Subsequence extraction
• Sequence statistics (currently only entropy is provided)

Sequence and subsequence extraction use fseek64 to provide fastest-possible extraction without RAM-intensive file loading operations. This makes fastahack a useful tool for bioinformaticists who need to quickly extract many subsequences from a reference FASTA sequence.

This is the development package containing the statically linked library and the header files.

This package contains the static library and the header files of the gatb-core library.

This is an eclectic gathering of (mostly) C++ code which upstream used for some bioinformatics projects. The main idea is to provide lean code and efficient data structures, trying to avoid too many code dependencies of heavy libraries while minimizing production cycles (and this also implies a decent compile/build time -- looking at you, bloated configure scripts and lengthy compile times of Boost code or other heavy C++ template code..).

This code was gathered even before the C++ STL had been fully adopted as a cross-platform "standard". Since STL by itself is a bit heavier for most of the C++ needs, it is preferred to use simpler&leaner C++ classes or templates for basic strings, containers, basic algorithms etc.
