Abstract

Computational biology requires the reading and comprehension of biological data files. Plain-text formats such as SAM, VCF, GTF, PDB and FASTA, often contain critical information that is obfuscated by the complexity of the data structures.
bioSyntax
(

http://bioSyntax.org

) is a freely available suite of syntax highlighting packages for
vim, gedit, Sublime
, and
less
, which aids computational scientists to parse and work with their data more efficiently.
