[Biojava-dev] BioJava 3.0.2 released

[Andreas Prlic]

BioJava 3.0.2 has been released and is available from
http://www.biojava.org/wiki/BioJava:Download .

BioJava 3.0.2 adds new modules and enhances the capabilities of BioJava:

 - biojava3-aa-prop: This new module allows the calculation of physico
chemical and other properties of protein sequences.
 - biojava3-protein-disorder: A new module for the prediction of
disordered regions in proteins. It based on a Java implementation of
the RONN predictor.

Other noteworthy improvements:

 - protein-structure: Improved handling of protein domains: Now with
better support for SCOP. New functionality for automated prediction of
protein domains, based on Protein Domain Parser.
 - Improvements and bug fixes in several modules.

Currently, up to 8 different people are making commits per month. This
gives an indication how active Biojava is being developed. The two new
modules are based on the work of Ah Fu (Chuan Hock Koh) and Peter
Troshin, which happened around this year's Google Summer of Code.
Thanks to everybody who made this new release possible!

About BioJava:

BioJava is a mature open-source project that provides a framework for
processing of biological data. BioJava contains powerful analysis and
statistical routines, tools for parsing common file formats, and
packages for manipulating sequences and 3D structures. It enables
rapid bioinformatics application development in the Java programming
language.

Happy BioJava-ing,

Andreas
