MolBioLib

MolBioLib is a compact, portable, and extensively tested C++11 software framework and set of applications tailored to the demands of next-generation sequencing data and applicable to many other applications. MolBioLib is designed to work with common file formats and data types used both in genomic analysis and general data analysis. A central relational-database-like Table class is a flexible and powerful object to intuitively represent and work with a wide variety of tabular datasets, ranging from alignment data to annotations. MolBioLib includes programs to perform a wide variety of analysis tasks such as computing read coverage, annotating genomic intervals, and novel peak calling with a wavelet algorithm. While MolBioLib was designed primarily for bioinformatics purposes, much of its functionality is applicable to a wide range of problems. Complete documentation and an extensive automated test suite are provided. This package assumes fluency in both UNIX and C++.
