| | Bioperl and friends (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) |
 | | Bioperl provides hundreds of reusable Perl modules that facilitate writing Perl scripts for sequence manipulation, accessing of databases using a range of data formats, and execution and parsing of the results of various molecular biology programs including Blast, clustalw, TCoffee, genscan, ESTscan and HMMER. |
 | | Consequently, Bioperl enables developing scripts that can analyze large quantities of sequence data in ways that are typically difficult or impossible with web or GUI based systems. |
 | | Bioperl has a website http://bioperl.org, which is a good place to start learning about Bioperl (in particular, the "Docs" and "HOWTOs" sections). |
