biohazard

This is a library for Bioinformatics, mostly centered on the BAM file format for Next Generation Sequencing data.

Installation

Biohazard uses Cabal, the standard installation mechanism for Haskell.
To install, follow these steps:

• install GHC (see http://haskell.org/ghc) and Cabal (see http://haskell.org/cabal),
• run cabal update (takes a while to download the current package list),
• run cabal install https://bitbucket.org/ustenzel/biohazard/get/master.tar.gz (takes even longer).

Sometimes, repeated installations and re-installations can result in a thoroughly unusable state of the Cabal package collection. If you get error messages that just don't make sense anymore, please refer to http://www.vex.net/~trebla/haskell/sicp.xhtml; among other useful things, it tells you how to wipe a package database without causing more destruction.
