C/C++ API
The C/C++ APIs support reading and writing Goby file formats for use with Goby next-gen data management framework. They have been used to develop native Goby support in BWA and GSNAP. Follow these detailed instructions to download and install on your machine. The current C and C++ APIs are distributed as part of the source distribution or also directly from the subversion repository at https://pbtech-vc.med.cornell.edu/public/viewvc/icb/trunk/goby/cpp/.
The current version of the C/C++ APIs depends on Protobuf 2.4.1. We recommend using a patched version of Protobuf 2.4.1. You can download just our patch or our pre-patched version.
Python API
The Python API for reading binary data files created with the Goby next-gen data management framework is available as part of the source distribution and also at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/goby/.
