About .NET Bio

A language-neutral bioinformatics toolkit built using the Microsoft 4.0 .NET Framework to help developers, researchers, and scientists. This open-source platform is a library of commonly-used bioinformatics functions. Applications written for this platform can be implemented in a variety of .NET languages, including C#, F#, Visual Basic®, .NET, and IronPython.

As a user you can perform a range of tasks, including:
  • Import DNA, RNA, or protein sequences from files with a variety of standard data formats, including FASTA, FASTQ, GFF, GenBank, and BED.
  • Construct sequences from scratch.
  • Manipulate sequences in various ways, such as adding or removing elements or generating a complement.
  • Analyze sequences using algorithms such as Smith-Waterman and Needleman-Wunsch.
  • Submit sequence data to remote Web sites—such as a Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) Web site—for analysis.
  • Output sequence data in any supported file format, regardless of the input format.

Here is the zipped folder of the demo files from our December 2011 workshop in Redmond. If you have any questions or issues with the files please post in the discussion forum and we can address for everyone. Thanks to all of you who attended the course. Mark and I are anxious to see your new contributions to the project.
