Libgenome is a freely available toolkit for developing bioinformatic related software in c++. it is intended to take the hassle out of performing common tasks on genetic sequence and annotation data.

among other things, libgenome can help you:

* read and write multi-fasta format files
* read and write genbank flat file database entries
* append, chop, truncate, reverse, complement, translate, and otherwise
mangle sequence data
* access annotation in genbank flat files
this is the development package containing the statically linked library and the header files.
