ParDRe is a parallel tool to remove duplicate genetic sequence reads. Duplicate reads can be seen as identical or nearly identical sequences with some mismatches. This tool lets users avoid the analysis of unnecessary reads, reducing the time of subsequent procedures with the dataset (e.g. assemblies, mappings, etc.). The tool is implemented with MPI in order to exploit the parallel capabilities of multicore clusters. It is faster than multithreaded counterparts (end of 2015) for the same number of cores and, thanks to the message-passing technology, it can be executed on clusters.

MoFax is a Python package for transcription factor motif analysis. It provides convenience functions to load and visualize factor models trained with MOFA+ in Python.

python-scanrbp is a Python package that provides the scanRBP tool that loads RNA-protein binding motif PWM and computes the log-odds scores for all the loaded RBPs across a given genomic sequence and draws a heatmap of the scores.

Biopython is a set of tools for biological computation including parsers for bioinformatics files into Python data structures; interfaces to common bioinformatics programs; a standard sequence class and tools for performing common operations on them; code to perform data classification; code for dealing with alignments; code making it easy to split up parallelizable tasks into separate processes; and more.

t-Stochastic Neighborhood Embedding (t-SNE) is a method for dimensionality reduction and visualization of high dimensional datasets. A popular implementation of t-SNE uses the Barnes-Hut algorithm to approximate the gradient at each iteration of gradient descent. This implementation differs in these ways:

• Instead of approximating the N-body simulation using Barnes-Hut, we interpolate onto an equispaced grid and use FFT to perform the convolution.

• Instead of computing nearest neighbors using vantage-point trees, we approximate nearest neighbors using the Annoy library. The neighbor lookups are multithreaded to take advantage of machines with multiple cores.

CD-HIT is a program for clustering and comparing protein or nucleotide sequences. CD-HIT is designed to be fast and handle extremely large databases.

TopHat is a fast splice junction mapper for nucleotide sequence reads produced by the RNA-Seq method. It aligns RNA-Seq reads to mammalian-sized genomes using the ultra high-throughput short read aligner Bowtie, and then analyzes the mapping results to identify splice junctions between exons.

WhatsHap is software for phasing genomic variants using DNA sequencing reads, also called read-based phasing or haplotype assembly. It is especially suitable for long reads, but works also well with short reads.

This package contains some tools for processing BAM files including:

• bamsormadup: parallel sorting and duplicate marking

• bamcollate2: reads BAM and writes BAM reordered such that alignment or collated by query name

• bammarkduplicates: reads BAM and writes BAM with duplicate alignments marked using the BAM flags field

• bammaskflags: reads BAM and writes BAM while masking (removing) bits from the flags column

• bamrecompress: reads BAM and writes BAM with a defined compression setting. This tool is capable of multi-threading.

• bamsort: reads BAM and writes BAM resorted by coordinates or query name

• bamtofastq: reads BAM and writes FastQ; output can be collated or uncollated by query name.

Circus is an R package for annotation, analysis and visualization of circRNA data. Users can annotate their circRNA candidates with host genes, gene features they are spliced from, and discriminate between known and yet unknown splice junctions. Circular-to-linear ratios of circRNAs can be calculated, and a number of descriptive plots easily generated.

Kaiju is a program for sensitive taxonomic classification of high-throughput sequencing reads from metagenomic whole genome sequencing experiments.

PhenoGraph is a clustering method designed for high-dimensional single-cell data. It works by creating a graph representing phenotypic similarities between cells and then identifying communities in this graph.

This package provides an assortment of R functions that is suitable for all types of microbial diversity analyses.

This package provides a set of R functions to parse markdown and other generic helpers.

BamTools provides both a C++ API and a command-line toolkit for handling BAM files.

Very fast parallel big-data BLAST XML file parser which can be used as command line utility. Use blastxmlparser to: Parse BLAST XML; filter output; generate FASTA, JSON, YAML, RDF, JSON-LD, HTML, CSV, tabular output etc.

Bowtie 2 is a fast and memory-efficient tool for aligning sequencing reads to long reference sequences. It is particularly good at aligning reads of about 50 up to 100s or 1,000s of characters, and particularly good at aligning to relatively long (e.g. mammalian) genomes. Bowtie 2 indexes the genome with an FM Index to keep its memory footprint small: for the human genome, its memory footprint is typically around 3.2 GB. Bowtie 2 supports gapped, local, and paired-end alignment modes.

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.

ngshmmalign is a profile HMM aligner for NGS reads designed particularly for small genomes (such as those of RNA viruses like HIV-1 and HCV) that experience substantial biological insertions and deletions.

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

Bioparser is a C++ header only parsing library for several bioinformatics formats (FASTA/Q, MHAP/PAF/SAM), with support for zlib compressed files.

This package provides a Python module creating/accessing GTF-based interval trees with associated meta-data. It is primarily used by the deeptools package.

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

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).
