BioPerl 1.7.2 – Perl Code in Biology

BioPerl 1.7.2

:: DESCRIPTION

Bioperl is a collection of Perl modules that facilitate the development of Perl scripts for bioinformatics applications. As such, it does not include ready to use programs in the sense that many commercial packages and free web-based interfaces do (e.g. Entrez, SRS). On the other hand, Bioperl does provide reusable Perl modules that facilitate writing Perl scripts for sequence manipulation, accessing of databases using a range of data formats and execution and parsing of the results of various molecular biology programs including Blast, clustalw, TCoffee, genscan, ESTscan and HMMER. Consequently, bioperl enables developing scripts that can analyze large quantities of sequence data in ways that are typically difficult or impossible with web based systems.
