Rust-Bio – Bioinformatics library for Rust
- samuell 11y agoApplication note by Köster et al published in Bioinformatics the other week: http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2015/10/19/bioinformatics.btv573 http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2015/...
- samuell 11y agoHave been impressed by the quality of Johannes' work with the Snakemake workflow tool [1], which is why I'm intrigued by Rust-Bio too. [1] https://bitbucket.org/johanneskoester/snakemake/wiki/Home https://bitbucket.org/johanneskoester/snakemake/wiki/Home
- tomkinstinch 11y agoSnakemake is great. Having done some work on the Snakemake internals to add remote (S3) file support[1], it clear that Snakemake is beautifully written. I'm a rust novice, but if Rust-Bio is as well designed it will go far in encouraging the use of rust in the field (assuming things like file parsing are fast and work well). As an aside, Johannes is quite prolific in bioinformatics of late[2], and recently started an exciting project to package tools for conda[3]. 1. https://bitbucket.org/johanneskoester/snakemake/pull-requests/34/remote-file-support-via-remote/diff https://bitbucket.org/johanneskoester/snakemake/pull-request... 2. http://johanneskoester.bitbucket.org http://johanneskoester.bitbucket.org 3. https://github.com/bioconda/recipes https://github.com/bioconda/recipes
