It is known to compile on the following platforms:

Linux using the gcc compiler
Solaris using the gcc compiler
Windows using Metrowerks CodeWarrior
MacOS 9 using Metrowerks CodeWarrior
OpenBSD using the gcc compiler
Cygwin using the gcc compiler

libGenome can access sequence data in several different file formats:

Reads and writes Multi-FastA files, designated by a '.fas' file extension
Reads and writes GenBank flat file database entries

Reads and writes raw sequence data
Reads ABI file format

libGenome can manipulate sequence data in the following ways:

Append
Truncate
Erase subsequences
Insert subsequences
Reverse
Complement
Ambiguity sensitive and insensitive comparison
