The Portable Cray Bioinformatics Library is an open source C implementation of the proprietary Cray Bioinformatics Library. High Perfomance is achieved by bit-level manipulation on compressed data whenever possible. It is designed to run on a wide variety of platforms in either 32- or 64-bit mode on either big or little endian architectures. See cbl.sourceforge.net for more information.
