Overview

This is a species-agnostic, algorithm extensible, sequence-anonymous (genome, metagenomes) gene finder library for the Julia Language.

The main goal is to create a versatile module that enables apply different implemented algorithm to DNA sequences. See, for instance, BioAlignment implementations of different sequence alignment algorithms (local, global, edit-distance).

Installation

You can install GeneFinder from the julia REPL. Press ] to enter pkg mode, and enter the following:

add GeneFinder
