FreeBayes is a Bayesian genetic variant detector designed to find small polymorphisms, specifically SNPs (single-nucleotide polymorphisms), indels (insertions and deletions), MNPs (multi-nucleotide polymorphisms), and complex events (composite insertion and substitution events) smaller than the length of a short-read sequencing alignment.

CMSeq is a set of commands to provide an interface to .bam files for coverage and sequence consensus.

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.

This package provides an R API and htmlwidget facilitating interactive visualization of spatial single-cell data with Vitessce. The R API contains classes and functions for loading single-cell data stored in compatible on-disk formats. The htmlwidget is a wrapper around the Vitessce JavaScript library and can be used in the Viewer tab of RStudio or Shiny apps.

RSeQC provides a number of modules that can comprehensively evaluate high throughput sequence data, especially RNA-seq data. Some basic modules inspect sequence quality, nucleotide composition bias, PCR bias and GC bias, while RNA-seq specific modules evaluate sequencing saturation, mapped reads distribution, coverage uniformity, strand specificity, etc.

This package provides Python bindings to the UCSC Big Binary (bigWig/bigBed) file library. This provides read-level access to local and remote bigWig and bigBed files but no write capabilitites. The main feature is fast retrieval of range queries into numpy arrays.

PHYLIP (the PHYLogeny Inference Package) is a package of programs for inferring phylogenies (evolutionary trees).

The ccwl is a concise syntax to express CWL workflows. ccwl is a compiler to generate CWL workflows from concise descriptions in ccwl. It is implemented as an EDSL in the Scheme programming language.

RSEM is a software package for estimating gene and isoform expression levels from RNA-Seq data. The RSEM package provides a user-friendly interface, supports threads for parallel computation of the EM algorithm, single-end and paired-end read data, quality scores, variable-length reads and RSPD estimation. In addition, it provides posterior mean and 95% credibility interval estimates for expression levels. For visualization, it can generate BAM and Wiggle files in both transcript-coordinate and genomic-coordinate.

This package provides Python bindings for lib2bit to access 2bit files with Python.

The IDR (Irreproducible Discovery Rate) framework is a unified approach to measure the reproducibility of findings identified from replicate experiments and provide highly stable thresholds based on reproducibility.

This package provides graphical user interfaces to organize and visualize Nanopore sequencing data.

Exonerate is a generic tool for pairwise sequence comparison. It allows the alignment of sequences using a many alignment models, either exhaustive dynamic programming or a variety of heuristics.

libmaus2 is a collection of data structures and algorithms. It contains:

• I/O classes (single byte and UTF-8);

• bitio classes (input, output and various forms of bit level manipulation);

• text indexing classes (suffix and LCP array, fulltext and minute (FM), etc.);

• BAM sequence alignment files input/output (simple and collating); and many lower level support classes.

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

Several studies focus on the inference of developmental and response trajectories from single cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) data. A number of computational methods, often referred to as pseudo-time ordering, have been developed for this task. CRISPR has also been used to reconstruct lineage trees by inserting random mutations. The tbsp package implements an alternative method to detect significant, cell type specific sequence mutations from scRNA-Seq data.

This package implements bindings for zarr store that are compatible with Bioconductor S4 data structures, namely the DataFrame and DelayedArray. This allows Zarr-backed data to be easily used as data frames with arbitrary sets of columns.

The data within this package is a panel of four samples, each with 3000 cells. There are two samples which are bone marrow (BM), and two samples which are cord blood (CB).

MafFilter is a program dedicated to the analysis of genome alignments. It parses and manipulates MAF files as well as more simple fasta files. This package can be used to design a pipeline as a series of consecutive filters, each performing a dedicated analysis. Many of the filters are available, from alignment cleaning to phylogeny reconstruction and population genetics analysis. Despite various filtering options and format conversion tools, MafFilter can compute a wide range of statistics (phylogenetic trees, nucleotide diversity, inference of selection, etc.).

Infernal ("INFERence of RNA ALignment") is a tool for searching DNA sequence databases for RNA structure and sequence similarities. It is an implementation of a special case of profile stochastic context-free grammars called covariance models (CMs). A CM is like a sequence profile, but it scores a combination of sequence consensus and RNA secondary structure consensus, so in many cases, it is more capable of identifying RNA homologs that conserve their secondary structure more than their primary sequence.

This package provides a Python client for BioThings API services.

PyLiftover is a library for quick and easy conversion of genomic (point) coordinates between different assemblies.

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 a simple web interface for the RNA-centric annotation system (RCAS).
