Data formats and tools

This section gathers common bioinformatics data formats, where you can find specifications of them and which tools you can use to handle them sanely.

bioconvert: converting between bioinformatics file formats

There's a plethora of bioinformatics file formats, and you often need to convert from on to another. bioconvert is a tool that integrates as many of these conversions as possible. It's a community effort, so feel free to contribute a converter if the one you need doesn't exist, yet, but you found (or implemented) a tool that can do it.
