BioCocoa Description

Open source, Objective-C framework for parsing and writing sequence file formats BioCocoa is an open source and Objective-C based Cocoa framework for bioinformatics. Cocoa is a great framework for rapid application development and it is therefore often used to create innovative bioscientific apps. To speed up development even more, BioCocoa wants to offer reusable Cocoa classes that are specific for molecular biology and biofinformatics. At this time, BioCocoa offers model classes for biological sequences, controller classes for alignment, sequence manipulation and I/O, interfacing with ENTREZ and view classes that let you easily display and work with sequences in your own applications. What's New in This Release: · New BCSuffixArray and BCMCP classes for constructing disk-based suffix arrays of sequences and finding the maximum common prefixes of sequences using those suffix arrays. · New BCCachedSequenceFile and BCCachedFastaFile classes that allow for reading sequence data without reading the whole sequence into memory. This is useful for working with very large sequences like whole genomes. A future release will support a BCCachedSequence which provides a consistent sequence interface regardless of whether the sequence is in memory or cached on disk. · File format can be explictly provided to BCSequenceReader using BCFileFormat. · Documentation updates. · More complete port to GNUstep, all BCFoundation functionality should be available. · Quad-fat binary supporting 32/64-bit and ppc/intel processors.
