BioRuby is a collection of open-source Ruby code, comprising classes for computational molecular biology and bioinformatics. It contains classes for DNA and protein sequence analysis, sequence alignment, biological database parsing, structural biology and other bioinformatics tasks.[1] BioRuby is released under the GNU GPL version 2 or Ruby licence[2] and is one of a number of Bio* projects, designed to reduce code duplication.[3]

In 2011, the BioRuby project introduced the Biogem software plugin system,[4] with two or three new plugins added every month.

BioRuby is managed via the BioRuby website and GitHub repository.[5][6]
