Bíogo stems from the need to address the size and structure of modern
genomic and metagenomic data sets. These properties enforce requirements
on the libraries and languages used for analysis:
.
* speed - size of data sets
* concurrency - problems often embarrassingly parallelisable
.
In addition to the computational burden of massive data set sizes in
modern genomics there is an increasing need for complex pipelines to
resolve questions in tightening problem space and also a developing need
to be able to develop new algorithms to allow novel approaches to
interesting questions. These issues suggest the need for a simplicity in
syntax to facilitate:
.
* ease of coding
* checking for correctness in development and particularly in
peer review
