Rosalind project

The Rosalind project is a platform for learning bioinformatics through problem solving. More information about the project is available at http://rosalind.info/about/

This repository contains solutions to some of the rosalind problems. Each propblem is available as a subcommand under the main executable.

1. Usage

By default, this application compiles to a binary called rosalind. Sample usage is given in the code snippet below:

2. Setup

This project is written entirely in Rust (edition 2018).You can get rust from here https://www.rust-lang.org

Once you have a working installation of rust available, proceed as follows from a terminal session:

$ cd <SOME_WORKING_DIR>
$ git clone <THIS_REPO>
$ cd rosalind
$ cargo build

3 Testing

From within the rosalind repo directory use:

$ cargo test
