“To aid scientists as well as students in their analysis and
study, I have a here a list of some of the most capable free and
open source Bioinformatics software for Linux:“Bioclipse
Based on Java, the Bioclipse project is a visual platform for
chemo- and bioinformatics based on the Eclipse Rich Client Platform
(RCP). As any RCP application, it uses a plugin architecture that
inherits basic functionality and visual interfaces from Eclipse,
such as help system, software updates, preferences, cross-platform
deployment etc. Via theseplugins, Bioclipse provides functionality
for chemo- and bioinformatics, and extension points that easily can
be extended by other, possibly proprietary, plugins to provide
additional functionality. The first stable release of Bioclipse
includes a CDK plugin to provide a chemoinformatic backend, a Jmol
plugin for 3D-visualization, and a BioJava plugin for sequence
analysis.”
