BioSymbols is bundled into BioSequences and so you may not need to install this package explicitly.

If you are interested in the cutting edge of the development, please check out the master branch to try new features before release.

BioSymbols is tested against Julia 1.X on Linux, OS X, and Windows.

We appreciate contributions from users including reporting bugs, fixing issues, improving performance and adding new features.

Take a look at the contributing files detailed contributor and maintainer guidelines, and code of conduct.

We also welcome financial contributions in full transparency on our open collective. Anyone can file an expense. If the expense makes sense for the development of the community, it will be "merged" in the ledger of our open collective by the core contributors and the person who filed the expense will be reimbursed.

Thank you to all our backers and sponsors!
