FSharpBio

FSharpBio aims to be a user-friendly library for Bioinformatics written in F#. It contains the basic data structures for common biological objects like amino acids and nucleotides based on chemical formulas and chemical elements. It facilitates some basic machine learning task as well as statistical analysis of biological data set.
