[Bioperl-l] bioperl vs other bio*

[Chris Fields]

IIRC there was a push to add SFF parsing via io_lib binding at one point, but that seems to have fallen apart.  Wouldn't be terribly hard to do, we have some XS code that could be cleaned up to support this (or we can use BioLib bindings, which did work to some degree).

It seems that bioperl lacks IO support for SFF format files while, at least, biopython has (Bio.Seq.SffIO). I started to write a module for this, but I haven't found too much time to finish it...
