Hi, I am maintaining and refactoring two GPL applications at the department of bioinformatics (read: computer science and biology) at the University of Würzburg. The upcoming release of Porfdist is using a boost in many places, and the already released CBCAnalyzer is also boost powerd. It might be nice to have them mentioned on the "Who is using Boost" page. Name: CBCanaylzer Developed by: Department of Bioinformatics, at the University of Wuerzburg CBCAnalyzer (CBC = compensatory base change) is a tool to create ``small'' phylogenetic trees from sequence alignments. To measure the distance of sequences the compensatory base changes are detected and counted. The bionj algorithm is then used to construct a tree. CBCAnalyzer is available on Windows, Linux and partly works on MacOSX. Libraries: Program Options - creates really nice output, and is both easy to extend and simple to handle. Iterator, Spirit - Saved a lot of my time, and makes the vast amount of biological file formats simple to support, Shared Pointer, Lambda, URL: http://www.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de/index.php?id=524 Name: Profdist Developed by: Department of Bioinformatics, at the University of Wuerzburg Profdist is a tool for the construction of large phylogenetic trees based on profile distances. The input alignment data gets extended by random picking of rows, and a clustering technique is used to create profiles of the most frequent subtrees. The iterative approach allows working on large datasets. Currently the application is very limited by the quality of wxWidgets, and only available for Windows and Linux.
