Hi All,

I am getting close to rolling out the first draft of our genetics library.

https://github.com/andy-thomason/Boost.Genetics

This library allows you to search gene sequences - most commonly
the human genome - (eg. ENSEMBL .fa files) for inexact matches.

At present the library emphasises thoroughness over performance
but the latter will improve. The algorithms are all single-threaded
at present as the user should provide the thread control.

Feedback would be useful. I appreciate that this is still a little way
from being a final submission, in particular we need:

* documentation
* more examples (currently only a python binding example)
* more tests

I'll be setting these as a task for my students.

Don't expect it to build and run out of the box except for the
unit tests and they might not wor in 32 bit builds.

I'd also apreciate help with the build system as getting a build
on 64 bit windows is a challenge for Boost.Python at present
and some wisdom would go far.

Are there plans for VC2013/15 solution generation from BJAM?
That would be useful.

Is there a continuous integration system we could use to pre-check
the library?

Andy.
