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.

This package offers a set of functions to use in order to compute communities on graphs weighted or unweighted.

This is package for including transposable elements in differential enrichment analysis of sequencing datasets. TEtranscripts and TEcount take RNA-seq (and similar data) and annotates reads to both genes and transposable elements. TEtranscripts then performs differential analysis using DESeq2. Note that TEtranscripts and TEcount rely on specially curated GTF files, which are not included due to their size.

Segemehl is software to map short sequencer reads to reference genomes. Segemehl implements a matching strategy based on enhanced suffix arrays (ESA). It accepts fasta and fastq queries (gzip'ed and bgzip'ed). In addition to the alignment of reads from standard DNA- and RNA-seq protocols, it also allows the mapping of bisulfite converted reads (Lister and Cokus) and implements a split read mapping strategy. The output of segemehl is a SAM or BAM formatted alignment file.

MUSCLE aims to be a fast and accurate multiple sequence alignment program for nucleotide and protein sequences.

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

An interval tree can be used to efficiently find a set of numeric intervals overlapping or containing another interval. This library provides a basic implementation of an interval tree using C++ templates, allowing the insertion of arbitrary types into the tree.

Forester is a collection of Java libraries for phylogenomics and evolutionary biology research. It includes support for reading, writing, and exporting phylogenetic trees.

This package provides a Python package for reading raw fcs files

SortMeRNA is a biological sequence analysis tool for filtering, mapping and OTU picking of NGS reads. The core algorithm is based on approximate seeds and allows for fast and sensitive analyses of nucleotide sequences. The main application of SortMeRNA is filtering rRNA from metatranscriptomic data.

HTSJDK is an implementation of a unified Java library for accessing common file formats, such as SAM and VCF, used for high-throughput sequencing (HTS) data. There are also an number of useful utilities for manipulating HTS data.

A tandem repeat in DNA is two or more adjacent, approximate copies of a pattern of nucleotides. Tandem Repeats Finder is a program to locate and display tandem repeats in DNA sequences. In order to use the program, the user submits a sequence in FASTA format. The output consists of two files: a repeat table file and an alignment file. Submitted sequences may be of arbitrary length. Repeats with pattern size in the range from 1 to 2000 bases are detected.

Kraken is a taxonomic sequence classifier that assigns taxonomic labels to DNA sequences. Kraken examines the k-mers within a query sequence and uses the information within those k-mers to query a database. That database maps k-mers to the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of all genomes known to contain a given k-mer.

PSIplot is an R package for generating plots of percent spliced-in (PSI) values of alternatively-spliced exons that were computed by vast-tools, an RNA-Seq pipeline for alternative splicing analysis. The plots are generated using ggplot2.

Bioawk is an extension to Brian Kernighan's awk, adding the support of several common biological data formats, including optionally gzip'ed BED, GFF, SAM, VCF, FASTA/Q and TAB-delimited formats with column names. It also adds a few built-in functions and a command line option to use TAB as the input/output delimiter. When the new functionality is not used, bioawk is intended to behave exactly the same as the original BWK awk.

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

This package allows building the hierarchy of domains starting from Hi-C data. Each hierarchical level is identified by a minimum value of physical insulation between neighboring domains.

BWA-Meth works for single-end reads and for paired-end reads from the directional protocol (most common). It uses the method employed by methylcoder and Bismark of in silico conversion of all C's to T's in both reference and reads. It recovers the original read (needed to tabulate methylation) by attaching it as a comment which BWA appends as a tag to the read. It performs favorably to existing aligners gauged by number of on and off-target reads for a capture method that targets CpG-rich region.

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.

BioJava is a project dedicated to providing a Java framework for processing biological data. It provides analytical and statistical routines, parsers for common file formats, reference implementations of popular algorithms, and allows the manipulation of sequences and 3D structures. The goal of the biojava project is to facilitate rapid application development for bioinformatics.

This package provides the core libraries.

Bamnostic is a pure Python Binary Alignment Map (BAM) file parser and random access tool.

CellTypist is an automated cell type annotation tool for scRNA-seq datasets on the basis of logistic regression classifiers optimised by the stochastic gradient descent algorithm. CellTypist allows for cell prediction using either built-in (with a current focus on immune sub-populations) or custom models, in order to assist in the accurate classification of different cell types and subtypes.

The metacells package implements the improved metacell algorithm for single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data analysis within the scipy framework, and projection algorithm based on it. The original metacell algorithm was implemented in R. The Python package contains various algorithmic improvements and is scalable for larger data sets (millions of cells).

ChIPKernels is an R package for building different string kernels used for DNA Sequence analysis. A dictionary of the desired kernel must be built and this dictionary can be used for determining kernels for DNA Sequences.
