@article{Gonnet2000DarwinV2, title={Darwin v. 2.0: an interpreted computer language for the biosciences}, author={G. Gonnet and M. Hallett and C. Korostensky and Laurent Bernardin}, journal={Bioinformatics}, year={2000}, volume={16 2}, pages={ 101-3 } }
MOTIVATION
We announce the availability of the second release of Darwin v. 2.0, an interpreted computer language especially tailored to researchers in the biosciences. The system is a general tool applicable to a wide range of problems.
RESULTS
This second release improves Darwin version 1.6 in several ways: it now contains (1) a larger set of libraries touching most of the classical problems from computational biology (pairwise alignment, all versus all alignments, tree construction… CONTINUE READING
