I just came across [https://github.com/bionitio-team/bionitio](https://github.com/bionitio-team/bionitio), which provides templates for bioinformatics command line tools. I was thinking it might be good to submit something in julia as a sort of advertisement.

I don’t personally have the space to work on this, but I thought I’d plant the notion in case someone else is building a command line tool anyway. If no one gets to this, In the next year or so I was planning to make a script that would take a number of genomes and find unique PCR primers according to various parameters, so I could use that.

I stumbled upon this post came up when I was trying to find [the Bionitio project](https://github.com/bionitio-team/bionitio) just now, and so I thought I’d add that one of the authors of projects responded yesterday with the [suggestion here](https://twitter.com/nilshomer/status/1181242716987904000) when asked about contributing for additional languages.
