SeqAn3 is the new version of the popular SeqAn template library for the analysis of biological sequences. It enables the rapid development of high-performance solutions by providing generic algorithms and data structures for:

• sequence representation and transformation
• full-text indexing and efficient search
• sequence alignment
• input/output of common file formats

By leveraging Modern C++ it provides unprecedented ease-of-use without sacrificing performance.

Please see the online documentation for more details.

• C++ header-only library: easy to integrate with your app & easy to distribute
• liberal open source license: allows integration with any app or library, requires only attribution
• very high code quality standards: >97% unit test coverage, performance regression tests, ...
• extensive API documentation & tutorials: more lines of documentation than lines of code
• aims to support any 64-bit architecture running Linux/POSIX; currently big-endian CPU architectures like s390x are less supported

We recommend that you use CMake to build your project:

• Setup-Tutorial
• Using CMake guarantees that all optional dependencies are automatically detected and activated.
