SeqAn is an open source C++ library of efficient algorithms and data structures for the analysis of sequences with the focus on biological data. It applies a unique generic design that guarantees high performance, generality, extensibility, and integration with other libraries. This package also contains a suite of apps, including:

• Fiona - parallel and automatic strategy for read error correction
• Gustaf - Generic mUlti-SpliT Alignment Finder
• Mason - tools for biological sequence simulation
• RazerS 3 - Faster, fully sensitive read mapping
• Yara - Yet another read aligner
• SeqAn T-Coffee - multiple sequence aligner
• Stellar - the SwifT Exact LocaL AligneR
• searchjoin - String Similarity Search/Join
