For example, `[![build status][1]][2]` evaluates to the following: `[link_text][2]` `[2]` is a reference to a link, i.e. `[link_text](https://...)` `[link_text]` = `[![build status][1]]` `[1]` is once again a reference to a link - this time an image, i.e. `[![build status](https://...)] `![build status]` is the text that should be displayed if the linked resource (`[1]`) is not available `[![build status][1]][2]` hence means: Show the picture linked under `[1]`. In case it cannot be displayed, show the text "build status" instead. The picture, or alternative text, should link to `[2]`. -->

SeqAn3 is the new version of the popular SeqAn template library for the analysis of biological sequences. It enables the rapid development of high-performance solutions by providing generic algorithms and data structures for:

By leveraging Modern C++ it provides unprecedented ease-of-use without sacrificing performance.
