  • fasql

    Discontinued DuckDB Extension for reading and writing FASTA and FASTQ Files

  • Shameless self promotion, but my company released an open source library that reads fasta and fastq files in python or other languages... https://github.com/wheretrue/fasql -- obv biased, but it's faster than biopython and has a lower footprint when you just need that.

  • readfq

    Fast multi-line FASTA/Q reader in several programming languages

  • Heng Li has a FASTQ/FASTA reader that I generally cut and paste into my code rather than use Biopython. Biopython has a very rich model for sequence data but you generally don't need 90% of it and it comes at a significant performance cost.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
