[Bioperl-l] Bb-utils

[Weigang Qiu]

Dear BP developers,

We have packaged the initial release (1.0) of bp-utils, which contains two
bioperl-based utilities: "bioseq" and "bioaln" (another two utilities,
"biopop" and "biotree", are in pre-release cleaning-up)

https://github.com/bioperl/bp-utils/blob/master/bp-utils-current-release.tar.gz

For project description, rationale, and call for developers, please see:

https://github.com/bioperl/bp-utils/blob/master/README.md

Thanks Chris and other for setting up the github access. Please feel free
to email me for any feedback and bugs.

cheers,
