MinCED is a program to find Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPRs) in DNA sequences. It can be used for unassembled metagenomic reads, but is mainly designed for full genomes and assembled metagenomic sequence.

This package provides a fast and accurate analysis toolkit for single cell ATAC-seq (Assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing). Single cell ATAC-seq can resolve the heterogeneity of a complex tissue and reveal cell-type specific regulatory landscapes. However, the exceeding data sparsity has posed unique challenges for the data analysis. This package r-snapatac is an end-to-end bioinformatics pipeline for analyzing large- scale single cell ATAC-seq data which includes quality control, normalization, clustering analysis, differential analysis, motif inference and exploration of single cell ATAC-seq sequencing data.

This package is used for cell type identification in spatial transcriptomics. It also handles cell type-specific differential expression.

Maxent is a stand-alone Java application for modelling species geographic distributions.

Grouping large genomic fragments assembled from shotgun metagenomic sequences to deconvolute complex microbial communities, or metagenome binning, enables the study of individual organisms and their interactions. MetaBAT is an automated metagenome binning software, which integrates empirical probabilistic distances of genome abundance and tetranucleotide frequency.

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.

NGS is a domain-specific API for accessing reads, alignments and pileups produced from Next Generation Sequencing. The API itself is independent from any particular back-end implementation, and supports use of multiple back-ends simultaneously.

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.

Pairtools is a simple and fast command-line framework to process sequencing data from a Hi-C experiment. Process pair-end sequence alignments and perform the following operations:

• detect ligation junctions (a.k.a. Hi-C pairs) in aligned paired-end sequences of Hi-C DNA molecules

• sort .pairs files for downstream analyses

• detect, tag and remove PCR/optical duplicates

• generate extensive statistics of Hi-C datasets

• select Hi-C pairs given flexibly defined criteria

• restore .sam alignments from Hi-C pairs.

wfmash is a DNA sequence read mapper based on mash distances and the wavefront alignment algorithm. It is a fork of MashMap that implements base-level alignment via the wflign tiled wavefront global alignment algorithm. It completes MashMap with a high-performance alignment module capable of computing base-level alignments for very large sequences.

PiGX scRNAseq is an analysis pipeline for preprocessing and quality control for single cell RNA sequencing experiments. The inputs are read files from the sequencing experiment, and a configuration file which describes the experiment. It produces processed files for downstream analysis and interactive quality reports. The pipeline is designed to work with UMI based methods.

Ritornello is a ChIP-seq peak calling algorithm based on signal processing that can accurately call binding events without the need to do a pair total DNA input or IgG control sample. It has been tested for use with narrow binding events such as transcription factor ChIP-seq.

Anglemania extracts genes from multi-batch scRNA-seq experiments for downstream dataset integration. It improves conventional usage of highly-variable genes for integration tasks.

The goal of anpan is to consolidate statistical methods for strain analysis. This includes automated filtering of metagenomic functional profiles, testing genetic elements for association with outcomes, phylogenetic association testing, and pathway-level random effects models.

This R package provides additional capabilities and speed for GenomicRanges operations.

This package provides the kentUtils, a selection of bioinformatics utilities used in combination with the UCSC genome browser.

This package provides tools for dealing with Unique Molecular Identifiers (UMIs) and Random Molecular Tags (RMTs) in genetic sequences. There are six tools: the extract and whitelist commands are used to prepare a fastq containing UMIs +/- cell barcodes for alignment. The remaining commands, group, dedup, and count/count_tab, are used to identify PCR duplicates using the UMIs and perform different levels of analysis depending on the needs of the user.

Sickle is a tool that trims reads based on quality and length thresholds. It uses sliding windows to detect low-quality bases at the 3'-end and high-quality bases at the 5'-end. Additionally, it discards reads based on the length threshold.

ikarus is a stepwise machine learning pipeline that tries to cope with a task of distinguishing tumor cells from normal cells. Leveraging multiple annotated single cell datasets it can be used to define a gene set specific to tumor cells. First, the latter gene set is used to rank cells and then to train a logistic classifier for the robust classification of tumor and normal cells. Finally, sensitivity is increased by propagating the cell labels based on a custom cell-cell network. ikarus is tested on multiple single cell datasets to ascertain that it achieves high sensitivity and specificity in multiple experimental contexts.

Sleuth is a program for differential analysis of RNA-Seq data. It makes use of quantification uncertainty estimates obtained via Kallisto for accurate differential analysis of isoforms or genes, allows testing in the context of experiments with complex designs, and supports interactive exploratory data analysis via sleuth live.
