BioRuby :Ruby packages for biologist

Jitendra Narayan — Mon, 15 Jul 2013 01:36:28 -0500

BioRuby is a package of Open Source Ruby code, with classes for DNA and protein sequence analysis, alignment, database parsing, and other Bioinformatics tools.
BioRuby project provides an integrated environment in bioinformatics for the Ruby language. This project is supported by University of Tokyo (Human Genome Center), Kyoto University(Bioinformatics Center) and the Open Bio Foundation. The project was supported by Information-technology Promotion Agency (IPA) as an Exploratory Software Project in 2005
RubyForge is a home for open source Ruby projects: RubyForge is a home for open source Ruby projects. BioRuby project was started in late 2000, and is still in progress. Currently, there are over 80 files and 15,000 lines (except comment-only lines) in our source code. This might be equivalent to twice or more lines of other languages because of Ruby's extremely high descriptive power.

Classes for
Multiple alignment (Bio::Alignment),
Gene Ontology(Bio::GO),
PDB (Bio::PDB),
FANTOM database(Bio::FANTOM),
GFF (Bio::GFF) and KEGG
Orthology (Bio::KEGG::KO).

They also added support for many applications such as PSORT, SOSUI, TargetP, TMHMM, GenScan, ClustalW, MAFFT, and KEGG API.
