Scriabin aims to provide a comprehensive view of cell-cell communication (CCC). It achieves this without requiring subsampling or aggregation.

diemPy is a computational tool designed to polarize genomic data for hybrid zone analysis. The package implements an expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm to determine the optimal polarization of genetic markers, enabling researchers to identify and analyze patterns of introgression and hybridization in genomic datasets.

The goal of NicheNet is to study intercellular communication from a computational perspective. NicheNet uses human or mouse gene expression data of interacting cells as input and combines this with a prior model that integrates existing knowledge on ligand-to-target signaling paths. This allows to predict ligand-receptor interactions that might drive gene expression changes in cells of interest.

SHARC is a pipeline for somatic SV calling and filtering from tumor-only Nanopore sequencing data. It performs mapping, SV calling, SV filtering, random forest classification, blacklist filtering and SV prioritization, followed by automated primer design for PCR amplicons of 80-120 bp that are useful to track cancer ctDNA molecules in liquid biopsies.

Biosoup is a C++ collection of header-only data structures used for storage and logging in bioinformatics tools.

MetaMaps is tool specifically developed for the analysis of long-read (PacBio/Oxford Nanopore) metagenomic datasets.

This package provides a new way of computing bootstrap supports in large phylogenies.

FastQC aims to provide a QC report which can spot problems which originate either in the sequencer or in the starting library material. It can either run as a stand alone interactive application for the immediate analysis of small numbers of FastQ files, or it can be run in a non-interactive mode where it would be suitable for integrating into a larger analysis pipeline for the systematic processing of large numbers of files.

The Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) is a high-performance visualization tool for interactive exploration of large, integrated genomic datasets. It supports a wide variety of data types, including array-based and next-generation sequence data, and genomic annotations.

Anvi’o is a comprehensive platform that brings together many aspects of today’s computational strategies of data-enabled microbiology, including genomics, metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, pangenomics, metapangenomics, phylogenomics, and microbial population genetics in an integrated and easy-to-use fashion through extensive interactive visualization capabilities.

This packages provides a collection of small and efficient programs for performing some common and uncommon tasks with FASTQ files.

CAT and BAT are pipelines for the taxonomic classification of long DNA sequences and MAGs of both known and (highly) unknown microorganisms, as generated by contemporary metagenomics studies. The core algorithm of both programs involves gene calling, mapping of predicted ORFs against the nr protein database, and voting-based classification of the entire contig / MAG based on classification of the individual ORFs. CAT and BAT can be run from intermediate steps if files are formated appropriately.

Mellon is a non-parametric cell-state density estimator based on a nearest-neighbors-distance distribution. It uses a sparse gaussian process to produce a differntiable density function that can be evaluated out of sample.

This package contains the following programs: bamcollate2, bammarkduplicates, bammaskflags, bamrecompress, bamsort, bamtofastq.

Spoa (SIMD POA) is a c++ implementation of the partial order alignment (POA) algorithm, which is used to generate consensus sequences. It supports three alignment modes: local (Smith-Waterman), global (Needleman-Wunsch) and semi-global alignment (overlap), and three gap modes: linear, affine and convex (piecewise affine).

This package computes metrics and generates Interactive QC plots from the sequencing summary report generated by Oxford Nanopore technologies basecaller.

The Spliced Transcripts Alignment to a Reference (STAR) software is based on a previously undescribed RNA-seq alignment algorithm that uses sequential maximum mappable seed search in uncompressed suffix arrays followed by seed clustering and stitching procedure. In addition to unbiased de novo detection of canonical junctions, STAR can discover non-canonical splices and chimeric (fusion) transcripts, and is also capable of mapping full-length RNA sequences.

The IQ-TREE software was created as the successor of IQPNNI and TREE-PUZZLE (thus the name IQ-TREE). IQ-TREE was motivated by the rapid accumulation of phylogenomic data, leading to a need for efficient phylogenomic software that can handle a large amount of data and provide more complex models of sequence evolution. To this end, IQ-TREE can utilize multicore computers and distributed parallel computing to speed up the analysis. IQ-TREE automatically performs checkpointing to resume an interrupted analysis.

As input IQ-TREE accepts all common sequence alignment formats including PHYLIP, FASTA, Nexus, Clustal and MSF. As output IQ-TREE will write a self-readable report file (name suffix .iqtree), a NEWICK tree file (.treefile) which can be visualized by tree viewer programs such as FigTree, Dendroscope or iTOL.

Key features of IQ-TREE:

• Fast and effective stochastic algorithm to reconstruct phylogenetic trees by maximum likelihood;

• An ultrafast bootstrap approximation (UFBoot) to assess branch supports;

• An ultrafast and automatic model selection (ModelFinder);

• A flexible simulator (AliSim) which can simulate sequence alignments under more realistic models than Seq-Gen and INDELible;

• Several fast branch tests like SH-aLRT and aBayes test and tree topology tests like the approximately unbiased (AU) test.

This package provides IQ-TREE version 2.

This package provides a component of the Trinity Cancer Transcriptome Analysis Toolkit (CTAT). It uses the STAR aligner to identify candidate fusion transcripts supported by Illumina reads. It further processes the output generated by the STAR aligner to map junction reads and spanning reads to a reference annotation set.
