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.

VSEARCH supports DNA sequence searching, clustering, chimera detection, dereplication, pairwise alignment, shuffling, subsampling, sorting and masking. The tool takes advantage of parallelism in the form of SIMD vectorization as well as multiple threads to perform accurate alignments at high speed. VSEARCH uses an optimal global aligner (full dynamic programming Needleman-Wunsch).

Roary is a high speed stand alone pan genome pipeline, which takes annotated assemblies in GFF3 format (produced by the Prokka program) and calculates the pan genome. Using a standard desktop PC, it can analyse datasets with thousands of samples, without compromising the quality of the results. 128 samples can be analysed in under 1 hour using 1 GB of RAM and a single processor. Roary is not intended for metagenomics or for comparing extremely diverse sets of genomes.

Trim Galore! is a wrapper script to automate quality and adapter trimming as well as quality control, with some added functionality to remove biased methylation positions for RRBS sequence files.

Kallisto is a program for quantifying abundances of transcripts from RNA-Seq data, or more generally of target sequences using high-throughput sequencing reads. It is based on the novel idea of pseudoalignment for rapidly determining the compatibility of reads with targets, without the need for alignment. Pseudoalignment of reads preserves the key information needed for quantification, and kallisto is therefore not only fast, but also as accurate as existing quantification tools.

python-cwl-utils provides python utilities and autogenerated classes for loading and parsing CWL v1.0, CWL v1.1, and CWL v1.2 documents.

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.).

Picard is a set of Java command line tools for manipulating high-throughput sequencing (HTS) data and formats. Picard is implemented using the HTSJDK Java library to support accessing file formats that are commonly used for high-throughput sequencing data such as SAM, BAM, CRAM and VCF.

The NCBI-VDB library implements a highly compressed columnar data warehousing engine that is most often used to store genetic information. Databases are stored in a portable image within the file system, and can be accessed/downloaded on demand across HTTP.

EMBOSS is the "European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite". EMBOSS is an analysis package specially developed for the needs of the molecular biology (e.g. EMBnet) user community. The software automatically copes with data in a variety of formats and even allows transparent retrieval of sequence data from the web. It also provides a number of libraries for the development of software in the field of molecular biology. EMBOSS also integrates a range of currently available packages and tools for sequence analysis into a seamless whole.

MuSiC is a deconvolution method that utilizes cross-subject scRNA-seq to estimate cell type proportions in bulk RNA-seq data.

Cooler is a support library for a sparse, compressed, binary persistent storage format, called cool, used to store genomic interaction data, such as Hi-C contact matrices.

LibSBML is a library to help you read, write, manipulate, translate, and validate SBML files and data streams. The Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) is an interchange format for computer models of biological processes. SBML is useful for models of metabolism, cell signaling, and more. It continues to be evolved and expanded by an international community.

This library contains the genomics components of the Bio++ phylogenetics library. It is part of the Bio++ project.

This package provides an accurate VCF/GFF3/GTF LiftOver tool for new genome assemblies.

BLAST is a popular method of performing a DNA or protein sequence similarity search, using heuristics to produce results quickly. It also calculates an “expect value” that estimates how many matches would have occurred at a given score by chance, which can aid a user in judging how much confidence to have in an alignment.

SEEK is a computational gene co-expression search engine. SEEK provides biologists with a way to navigate the massive human expression compendium that now contains thousands of expression datasets. SEEK returns a robust ranking of co-expressed genes in the biological area of interest defined by the user's query genes. It also prioritizes thousands of expression datasets according to the user's query of interest.

An ORF caller finds stretches of DNA that, when translated, are not interrupted by stop codons. OrfM finds and prints these ORFs.

PAIRADISE is a method for detecting allele-specific alternative splicing (ASAS) from RNA-seq data. Unlike conventional approaches that detect ASAS events one sample at a time, PAIRADISE aggregates ASAS signals across multiple individuals in a population. By treating the two alleles of an individual as paired, and multiple individuals sharing a heterozygous SNP as replicates, PAIRADISE formulates ASAS detection as a statistical problem for identifying differential alternative splicing from RNA-seq data with paired replicates.

This package implements methods to project single-cell RNA-seq data onto a reference atlas, enabling interpretation of unknown cell transcriptomic states in the the context of known, reference states.

This package lets you read and write the PLINK BED format, simply and efficiently.

Tombo is a suite of tools primarily for the identification of modified nucleotides from nanopore sequencing data. Tombo also provides tools for the analysis and visualization of raw nanopore signal.

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.

bustools is a program for manipulating BUS files for single cell RNA-Seq datasets. It can be used to error correct barcodes, collapse UMIs, produce gene count or transcript compatibility count matrices, and is useful for many other tasks.
