BioQt

dridk

Hello,
I am a biologist also a bioinformatics scientist, and ofcourse a Qt lover !
Currently in bioinformatics, each programming langage has his own bioinformatics library.

"Biopython":http://biopython.org/ for Python
"BioRuby":http://www.bioruby.org/ for Ruby

And of all the world's evil :
"BioJava": http://biojava.org . That's mean 90% of bioinformatics GUI are made with Java ! That's also mean ugly and slow GUI :D

So, what about create a Bio library for Qt ? Witch all tool and GUI to make bioinformatics ?

Hi,

Do you mean a full port of Biopython in C/C++ ?

dridk

some part yes. But with more UI feature that Qt allow.

Sounds interesting. Basically the task would be to reimplement BioPython as a C library, convince the BioPython people to use your C library as backend, provide a Qt/C++ wrapper for the C library and a Qt/QML wrapper for the Qt/C++ wrapper. That would be cool!
