BOSS is a bioinformatics toolbox written in modern C++. Each tool is designed to be easy to use and fast, and the whole codebase is tested exhaustively. BOSS is free software distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.
It currently ships two tools:
- boss-fqsp: a fast tool for splitting FASTQ files into paired files.
- boss-squeue: a summary of job status in HPC queues.
The toolbox is still evolving and is updated frequently; check the GitHub repository for the latest version.
