About:
btllib is a comprehensive C++ library developed by the Bioinformatics Technology Lab, designed to provide foundational code for bioinformatics software. It offers robust implementations for handling sequencing data formats like FASTA/FASTQ, command-line parsing, and multi-threading. The library's main value proposition is to accelerate the development of reliable and efficient bioinformatics tools by abstracting common programming tasks.
Key Features:
  • Support for parsing and writing common bioinformatics file formats (FASTA, FASTQ, BED)
  • High-level command-line argument parsing utilities
  • Integrated multi-threading and logging frameworks
  • Header-only library design for easy integration
Use Cases:
  • Developing new bioinformatics command-line tools
  • Implementing custom sequence processing pipelines
  • Building high-performance genomic data analysis software
Alternatives:
  • SeqAn – A more extensive framework with advanced algorithms, while btllib focuses on being a lightweight, foundational utility library.
