BioJava

BioJava is an open-source Java library for processing biological data, providing tools for sequence analysis, protein structure manipulation, and bioinformatics workflows. It enables developers to handle common biological data formats, perform alignments, and integrate with other bioinformatics tools in Java applications.

Also known as: BioJava library, BioJava toolkit, BioJava framework, BioJava API, BioJava project

Why learn BioJava?

Developers should learn BioJava when building bioinformatics software, analyzing genomic or proteomic data, or automating biological research tasks in Java environments. It is particularly useful for academic research, pharmaceutical development, and healthcare applications that require robust, scalable processing of biological sequences and structures.
