Aspartik is a computational biology toolkit inspired by BioPython and SciPy. It's goal is to provide a suit of utilities for working with genetic data and phylogenetic simulations.
Aspartik was initially created for the sake of b3
, a Bayesian
phylogenetic inference engine. Thus, most of the non-b3
modules are
currently very raw and only expose the functionality required by b3
.
But I hope that as development continues they'll become broadly useful.
