Hallo,

I'm looking around for a huge database of bioinformatic algorithms
(perhaps in pseudocode or in a normal written form) for a long time.
Could anyone say my where I could find something like that?

Thanx 4 answers

Look at your list of newsgroups. There is
bionet.software

and some other groups under that.

You might try them.

I am not aware of a database, but there are certainly books that cover
algorithms. Some describe them, some have them in mathematical notation.
I do not recall seeing many that specifically have pseudocode.

I can recommend "Biological sequence analysis" by Durbin, Eddy, Krogh
and Mitchison. This covers the sequence analysis algorithms.

You could try "Genomic Perl" by Rex Dwyer - I do not have a copy, but I
seem to recall it has very good coverage of algorithms and is not
specific to Perl.

There are also open source projects where you could use their code as a
guide to the algorithm and then write your own version. For most
software licences I can think of this is not a problem.

Hope that helps.
