A library of efficient bioinformatics algorithms.
In this paper we review some of the existing projects available in the bioinformatics field for facilitating the development of programs, but for which minimising the running time is not of primary importance. We point out the advantages of open source libraries for such tasks and we discuss some of the open source licenses available. Finally, we present the project ALiBio, which is aimed at facilitating the development of efficient programs in bioinformatics.
