Gonomics

Gonomics provides Go-based bioinformatics libraries for reading, writing, converting, and programmatically manipulating genomic data in formats such as FASTA, FASTQ, BED, BEDPE, SAM, BAM, and VCF to support genomic analyses.

Key Features:

• File Format Support: Read, write, and manipulate FASTA, FASTQ, BED, BEDPE, SAM, BAM, and VCF file formats.
• Format Conversion and Interfacing: Convert between supported formats and provide interfaces to integrate with other bioinformatics tools and pipelines.
• Modular Library Structure: Modular Go libraries enable composition of custom software components and complex analytical pipelines.
• Performance and Readability: Implemented in Go to leverage compiled execution for high-performance processing while maintaining code readability for development and maintenance.

Scientific Applications:

• Sequence Analysis: Support sequence-level operations and workflows using FASTA and FASTQ inputs.
• Variant Calling: Enable handling and manipulation of SAM/BAM and VCF files for variant detection and downstream analysis.
• Genome Assembly: Provide file handling and conversion capabilities useful in genome assembly pipelines.
• Custom Tool and Pipeline Development: Serve as a foundation for developing bespoke genomic analysis tools and complex analytical workflows.

Methodology:

Implemented in the Go programming language, using compiled execution and modular libraries to deliver performant programmatic manipulation and conversion of genomic file formats.
