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.
