SeqAn is an open source C++ library of efficient algorithms and data structures for the analysis of sequences with the focus on biological data. Our library applies a unique generic design that guarantees high performance, generality, extensibility, and integration with other libraries. SeqAn is easy to use and simplifies the development of new software tools with a minimal loss of performance.
The SeqAn library itself, the tests and demos are licensed under the very permissing 3-clause BSD License. The licenses for the applications themselves can be found in the LICENSE files.
- The library is tested on the following compilers:
- GCC >= 4.7 (e.g. Debian stable/wheezy)
- Clang >= 3.3 (e.g. Xcode >= 5)
- Visual C++ 10 (2010), 11 (2012), 12 (2013)
All operating systems supported by the respective compilers should work with SeqAn. We test on 32-bit and 64-bit Intel/AMD architectures.
- To build tests, demos, and official SeqAn applications you also need:
- CMake >= 2.8.2 (http://cmake.org/)
Some of the official applications might have additional requirements or work only on a subset of platforms.
