# Rust-Bio, a rusty bioinformatics library.
This library provides implementations of many algorithms and data structures
that are useful for bioinformatics.
All provided implementations are rigorously tested via continuous
integration (https://travis-ci.org/johanneskoester/rust-bio).
Currently, rust-bio provides
* pattern matching,
* pairwise alignment,
* suffix arrays,
* BWT and FM-Index,
* rank/select data structures.

## Usage
To use rust-bio in your Rust project, add the following to your `Cargo.toml`
```toml
[dependencies]
bio = "*"
```
and import the crate from your source code:
```rust
extern crate bio;
// use e.g. a pattern matching algorithm
use bio::pattern_matching::bndm::BNDM;
let pattern = b"GAAAA";
let text = b"ACGGCTAGAAAAGGCTAGAAAA";
let bndm = BNDM::new(pattern);
let matches = bndm.find_all(text);
```
