Abstract

Biomolecular structures come in multiple representations and diverse data formats. Their incompatibility with the requirements of data analysis programs significantly hinders the analytics and the creation of new structure-oriented bioinformatic tools. Therefore, the need for robust libraries of data processing functions is still growing. BioCommons is an open-source, Java library for structural bioinformatics. It contains many functions working with the 2D and 3D structures of biomolecules, with a particular emphasis on RNA. The library is available in Maven Central Repository and its source code is hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/tzok/BioCommons. Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
