StrBio java class libraries / News: Recent posts

The StrBioLib Java class libraries for computational structural biology development have been updated to version 1.2.

A paper describing the library has now been published:
Chandonia, JM. 2007. StrBioLib: a Java library for development of custom computational structural biology applications. Bioinformatics, May 30, doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btm269.

Changes in 1.2:

* Added Ant build procedure as an alternative to GNU Make.
* Renamed classes/ directory to src/ (although both compiled class files and sources are kept together for convenience)
* Added JUnit unit tests under test/
* Added some small code snippet examples under examples/cookbook/, and more examples under examples/
* Minor bug fixes and enhancements to various classes.
* Added util.HTML class for HTML manipulation, including colorizing FASTA and MSF output for web display
* Activated SourceForge mailing list and svn repository.
* Manuscript reference added.

Please see the release notes for details of changes.

The StrBio library is a set of Java classes useful for development of software for computational structural biology research. These classes are the basis for software in several published research projects, including the Pred2ary secondary structure prediction software, the JThread fold prediction algorithm, and parts of the ASTRAL Compendium for Sequence and Structure Analysis (http://astral.berkeley.edu).... read more
