Hi,
Are both projects still ongoing ? I see JuliaBio has no public repo. On the 
other hand BioJulia has had few updates lately. 
I am interested in participating but what about making a single 
bioinformatics library ?
Among others, I have quite a lot of experience with high-throughput 
sequencing data and manipulation of "track" files (genomic intervals and 
read densities), having written several thousand lines of Python for it. 
Let me know.

Also, is any other domain doing operations on intervals (intersection, 
decomposition into non-overlapping segments, etc.) ? Of course it is easy 
if everything is loaded in memory and sorted, but I've developed a few 
interesting techniques to do it from streams due to the files size.

By the way, I am actually really wondering if Julia can be useful here, 
since most of our work is reading big files as streams while requiring few 
numerical computations (except trees and sequences alignments, both already 
well implemented in C and requiring only a few wrappers).
