Abstract

  Command-line tools are the fundamental building blocks of main bioinformatics applications [1,2]. Despite a burden to noncomputer affine biologists [3], command-line tools can serve as underlying operations for chaining into analysis pipelines [4-10] or for integration into applications with graphical user interfaces.
