Latest on Hackage:0.3.1.1

This package is not currently in any snapshots. If you're interested in using it, we recommend adding it to Stackage Nightly. Doing so will make builds more reliable, and allow stackage.org to host generated Haddocks.

Base library for bioinformatics providing the following features:

RNA sequences and energy files:

  • efficient format for RNA sequences, based on the vector package

  • internal conversion from strings and bytestrings

  • secondary structure manipulation functions, im- and export of Vienna-dotbracket notation

Utility classes:

  • algebraic ring class

  • instances for Gibbs free energy, partition function probabilities, and scores

  • conversion between different entities

Bioinformatics data sources:

  • mostly just imports, some export functions are provided

  • Fasta (please use the "bio" library by Ketil Malde)

  • Mafft

  • RNA secondary structure: Dot-Bracket, CT

  • ViennaRNA energy files (with default parameters)

  • Turner energy files: cf. http://rna.urmc.rochester.edu/NNDB/index.html

  • RNAstrand database: dot-parenthesis (one file, many entries)

  • FR3D: basepairs

  • Infernal: covariance models (text-based)

  • MC-Fold: NCM database

Important notes:

  • In general, this library is not unicode safe (and could somebody tell me the reason for encoding DNA/RNA sequences in unicode?)
