tl;dr of the comparison post: BioSequences (from BioJulia) used to be slower than Seq, with most of that time spent on input validation (which Seq does not do). After this paper, BioSequences was performance-tuned, so that it's now on par with Seq in speed, while still retaining input validation and other benefits. > With the updates, BioSequences [2.X] rivals Seq in speed while keeping its advantages of a lower memory footprint and doing data validation.
