Syntax Highlighting for Computational Biology.

Our goal is to make data intuitive for scientists and help you navigate and comprehend its significance. Currently supporting .sam, .vcf, .fasta, .fastq, .gtf, .bed, .pdb, .cwl, & more formats.

Tell us how bioSyntax can develop to help your workflow. (Survey ~5m)

INSTALL bioSyntax

Usage

bioSyntax integrates seamlessly with vim, less, gedit, & sublime to automatically recognize your favorite biological file formats. To gain the most insight from your data, read our brief bioSyntax Manual.

Large data can also be directly piped into less with sam-less, vcf-less, ..., xyz-less commands.

Example less command
