This is a package for noise-robust soft clustering of gene expression time-series data (including a graphical user interface).

Animalcules is an R package for utilizing up-to-date data analytics, visualization methods, and machine learning models to provide users an easy-to-use interactive microbiome analysis framework. It can be used as a standalone software package or users can explore their data with the accompanying interactive R Shiny application. Traditional microbiome analysis such as alpha/beta diversity and differential abundance analysis are enhanced, while new methods like biomarker identification are introduced by animalcules. Powerful interactive and dynamic figures generated by animalcules enable users to understand their data better and discover new insights.

Skeletal myoblasts undergo a well-characterized sequence of morphological and transcriptional changes during differentiation. In this experiment, primary human skeletal muscle myoblasts (HSMM) were expanded under high mitogen conditions (GM) and then differentiated by switching to low-mitogen media (DM). RNA-Seq libraries were sequenced from each of several hundred cells taken over a time-course of serum-induced differentiation. Between 49 and 77 cells were captured at each of four time points (0, 24, 48, 72 hours) following serum switch using the Fluidigm C1 microfluidic system. RNA from each cell was isolated and used to construct mRNA-Seq libraries, which were then sequenced to a depth of ~4 million reads per library, resulting in a complete gene expression profile for each cell.

The S4Vectors package defines the Vector and List virtual classes and a set of generic functions that extend the semantic of ordinary vectors and lists in R. Package developers can easily implement vector-like or list-like objects as concrete subclasses of Vector or List. In addition, a few low-level concrete subclasses of general interest (e.g. DataFrame, Rle, and Hits) are implemented in the S4Vectors package itself.

This package contains experimental genetic data for use with the genomation package. Included are Chip Seq, Methylation and Cage data, downloaded from Encode.

DEComplexDisease is designed to find the DEGs for complex disease, which is characterized by the heterogeneous genomic expression profiles. Different from the established DEG analysis tools, it does not assume the patients of complex diseases to share the common DEGs. By applying a bi-clustering algorithm, DEComplexDisease finds the DEGs shared by as many patients. Applying the DEComplexDisease analysis results, users are possible to find the patients affected by the same mechanism based on the shared signatures.

TreeSummarizedExperiment extends SingleCellExperiment to include hierarchical information on the rows or columns of the rectangular data.

This package provides UCSC phastCons conservation scores for the human genome (hg19) calculated from multiple alignments with other 99 vertebrate species.

This is a C++ wrapper around the Tabix project which abstracts some of the details of opening and jumping in tabix-indexed files.

The Spliced Transcripts Alignment to a Reference (STAR) software is based on a previously undescribed RNA-seq alignment algorithm that uses sequential maximum mappable seed search in uncompressed suffix arrays followed by seed clustering and stitching procedure. In addition to unbiased de novo detection of canonical junctions, STAR can discover non-canonical splices and chimeric (fusion) transcripts, and is also capable of mapping full-length RNA sequences.

The alignment module of BioJava provides an API that contains

• implementations of dynamic programming algorithms for sequence alignment;

• reading and writing of popular alignment file formats;

• a single-, or multi- threaded multiple sequence alignment algorithm.

BWA-PSSM is a probabilistic short genomic sequence read aligner based on the use of position specific scoring matrices (PSSM). Like many of the existing aligners it is fast and sensitive. Unlike most other aligners, however, it is also adaptible in the sense that one can direct the alignment based on known biases within the data set. It is coded as a modification of the original BWA alignment program and shares the genome index structure as well as many of the command line options.

MultiQC is a tool to aggregate bioinformatics results across many samples into a single report. It contains modules for a large number of common bioinformatics tools.

Samtools implements various utilities for post-processing nucleotide sequence alignments in the SAM, BAM, and CRAM formats, including indexing, variant calling (in conjunction with bcftools), and a simple alignment viewer.

Splicekit is a modular platform for splicing analysis from short-read RNA-seq datasets. The platform also integrates pybio for genomic operations and scanRBP for RNA-protein binding studies. The whole analysis is self-contained (one single directory) and the platform is written in Python, in a modular way.

This package is a collection of Perl, Python, and R scripts for manipulating 3C/4C/5C/Hi-C data.

This package is used for demultiplexing single-cell sequencing experiments of pooled cells. These cells are labeled with barcode oligonucleotides. The package implements methods to fit regression mixture models for a probabilistic classification of cells, including multiplet detection. Demultiplexing error rates can be estimated, and methods for quality control are provided.

LAMMPS is a classical molecular dynamics simulator designed to run efficiently on parallel computers. LAMMPS has potentials for solid-state materials (metals, semiconductors), soft matter (biomolecules, polymers), and coarse-grained or mesoscopic systems. It can be used to model atoms or, more generically, as a parallel particle simulator at the atomic, meso, or continuum scale.

This package provides a collection of useful functions for working with DNA methylation micro-array data.

BioPerl is the product of a community effort to produce Perl code which is useful in biology. Examples include Sequence objects, Alignment objects and database searching objects. These objects not only do what they are advertised to do in the documentation, but they also interact - Alignment objects are made from the Sequence objects, Sequence objects have access to Annotation and SeqFeature objects and databases, Blast objects can be converted to Alignment objects, and so on. This means that the objects provide a coordinated and extensible framework to do computational biology.

Velvet is a de novo genomic assembler specially designed for short read sequencing technologies, such as Solexa or 454. Velvet currently takes in short read sequences, removes errors then produces high quality unique contigs. It then uses paired read information, if available, to retrieve the repeated areas between contigs.

The phylo module provides a biojava interface layer to the forester phylogenomics library for constructing phylogenetic trees.

Scanorama enables batch-correction and integration of heterogeneous scRNA-seq datasets, which is described in the paper "Efficient integration of heterogeneous single-cell transcriptomes using Scanorama" by Brian Hie, Bryan Bryson, and Bonnie Berger.

iVar is a computational package that contains functions broadly useful for viral amplicon-based sequencing.
