DIAMOND is a BLAST-compatible local aligner for mapping protein and translated DNA query sequences against a protein reference database (BLASTP and BLASTX alignment mode). The speedup over BLAST is up to 20,000 on short reads at a typical sensitivity of 90-99% relative to BLAST depending on the data and settings.

Bio++ is a set of C++ libraries for Bioinformatics, including sequence analysis, phylogenetics, molecular evolution and population genetics. This package provides command line tools using the Bio++ library.

This package infers, visualizes and analyzes the cell-cell communication networks from scRNA-seq data.

Sambamba is a high performance modern robust and fast tool (and library), written in the D programming language, for working with SAM and BAM files. Current parallelised functionality is an important subset of samtools functionality, including view, index, sort, markdup, and depth.

InDelFixer is a sensitive aligner for 454, Illumina and PacBio data, employing a full Smith-Waterman alignment against a reference. This Java command line application aligns Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) and third-generation reads to a set of reference sequences, by a prior fast k-mer matching and removes indels, causing frame shifts. In addition, only a specific region can be considered. An iterative refinement of the alignment can be performed, by alignment against the consensus sequence with wobbles. The output is in SAM format.

This package provides a framework to process and analyze data from high-throughput sequencing (HTS) assays

FAN-C provides a pipeline for analysing Hi-C data starting at mapped paired-end sequencing reads.

CrossMap is a program for conversion of genome coordinates or annotation files between different genome assemblies. It supports most commonly used file formats including SAM/BAM, Wiggle/BigWig, BED, GFF/GTF, VCF.

This package provides a companion annotation file to the IlluminaHumanMethylationEPICmanifest package based on the same annotation 1.0B5.

This package provides a collection of methods to extract gene programs from single-cell gene expression data using non-negative matrix factorization (NMF). GeneNMF contains functions to directly interact with the Seurat toolkit and derive interpretable gene program signatures.

Salad is a schema language for describing JSON or YAML structured linked data documents. Salad schema describes rules for preprocessing, structural validation, and hyperlink checking for documents described by a Salad schema. Salad supports rich data modeling with inheritance, template specialization, object identifiers, object references, documentation generation, code generation, and transformation to RDF. Salad provides a bridge between document and record oriented data modeling and the Semantic Web.

Discrover is a motif discovery method to find binding sites of nucleic acid binding proteins.

This package provides an object for plotting GRanges, RleList, UCSC file formats, and ffTrack objects in multi-track panels.

This package provides Python bindings to the libBigWig library for accessing bigWig files.

This package provides Python bindings to the bwa mem aligner.

This package is a rasterization preprocessing framework that aggregates cellular information into spatial pixels to reduce resource requirements for spatial omics data analysis. SEraster reduces the number of points in spatial omics datasets for downstream analysis through a process of rasterization where single cells gene expression or cell-type labels are aggregated into equally sized pixels based on a user-defined resolution. SEraster can be incorporated with other packages to conduct downstream analyses for spatial omics datasets, such as detecting spatially variable genes.

Pando leverages multi-modal single-cell measurements to infer gene regulatory networks using a flexible linear model-based framework. By modeling the relationship between TF-binding site pairs with the expression of target genes, Pando simultaneously infers gene modules and sets of regulatory regions for each transcription factor.

Mash is a fast sequence distance estimator that uses the MinHash algorithm and is designed to work with genomes and metagenomes in the form of assemblies or reads.

This package provides Python bindings for spoa, a C++ implementation of the partial order alignment (POA) algorithm (as described in 10.1093/bioinformatics/18.3.452) which is used to generate consensus sequences

SeqAn is a C++ library of efficient algorithms and data structures for the analysis of sequences with the focus on biological data. It contains algorithms and data structures for string representation and their manipulation, online and indexed string search, efficient I/O of bioinformatics file formats, sequence alignment, and more.

This package provides bioinformatic tools to align, deduplicate, reformat, filter and normalize DNA and RNA-seq data. It includes the following tools: BBMap, a short read aligner for DNA and RNA-seq data; BBNorm, a kmer-based error-correction and normalization tool; Dedupe, a tool to simplify assemblies by removing duplicate or contained subsequences that share a target percent identity; Reformat, to convert reads between fasta/fastq/scarf/fasta+qual/sam, interleaved/paired, and ASCII-33/64, at over 500 MB/s; and BBDuk, a tool to filter, trim, or mask reads with kmer matches to an artifact/contaminant file.

Fluff is a Python package that contains several scripts to produce pretty, publication-quality figures for next-generation sequencing experiments.

This tool detects batch effects in high-dimensional data based on chi^2-test.

This package provides different statistical methods to extract biological activities from omics data within a unified framework.
