BpWrapper: BioPerl-based sequence and tree utilities for rapid prototyping of bioinformatics pipelines.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Automated bioinformatics workflows are more robust, easier to maintain, and results more reproducible when built with command-line utilities than with custom-coded scripts. Command-line utilities further benefit by relieving bioinformatics developers to learn the use of, or to interact directly with, biological software libraries. There is however a lack of command-line utilities that leverage popular Open Source biological software toolkits such as BioPerl ( http://bioperl.org ) to make many of the well-designed, robust, and routinely used biological classes available for a wider base of end users.

Results

Designed as standard utilities for UNIX-family operating systems, BpWrapper makes functionality of some of the most popular BioPerl modules readily accessible
