FreeBayes is a Bayesian genetic variant detector designed to find small polymorphisms, specifically SNPs (single-nucleotide polymorphisms), indels (insertions and deletions), MNPs (multi-nucleotide polymorphisms), and complex events (composite insertion and substitution events) smaller than the length of a short-read sequencing alignment.

Phylogenetic Analysis with Space/Time models (PHAST) is a collection of command-line programs and supporting libraries for comparative and evolutionary genomics. Best known as the search engine behind the Conservation tracks in the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) Genome Browser, PHAST also includes several tools for phylogenetic modeling, functional element identification, as well as utilities for manipulating alignments, trees and genomic annotations.

This package is a set of R functions for generating precise figures. This tool helps you to create clean markdown reports about what you just discovered with your analysis script.

SlamDunk is a fully automated tool for automated, robust, scalable and reproducible SLAMseq data analysis. Diagnostic plotting features and a MultiQC plugin will make your SLAMseq data ready for immediate QA and interpretation.

PySnpTools is a library for reading and manipulating genetic data. It can, for example, efficiently read whole PLINK *.bed/bim/fam files or parts of those files. It can also efficiently manipulate ranges of integers using set operators such as union, intersection, and difference.

Sambamba is a high performance modern robust and fast tool (and library), written in the D programming language, for working with SAM and BAM files. Current parallelised functionality is an important subset of samtools functionality, including view, index, sort, markdup, and depth.

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

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.

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

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.

This package converts the output of the Sailfish and Salmon RNA-seq quantification tools so that it can be used with the Sleuth differential analysis package.

This package generates a Miami plot with centered chromosome labels. The output is a ggplot2 object. Users can specify which data they want plotted on top vs. bottom, whether to display significance line(s), what colors to give chromosomes, and what points to label.

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

This package provides Python bindings to the bwa mem aligner.

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.

bx-python provides tools for manipulating biological data, particularly multiple sequence alignments.

Pyani provides a package and script for calculation of genome-scale average nucleotide identity.

Aragorn identifies transfer RNA, mitochondrial RNA and transfer-messenger RNA from nucleotide sequences, based on homology to known tRNA consensus sequences and RNA structure. It also outputs the secondary structure of the predicted RNA.

This package provides a framework for the analysis and exploration of single-cell chromatin data. The Signac package contains functions for quantifying single-cell chromatin data, computing per-cell quality control metrics, dimension reduction and normalization, visualization, and DNA sequence motif analysis.

VCFtools is a program package designed for working with VCF files, such as those generated by the 1000 Genomes Project. The aim of VCFtools is to provide easily accessible methods for working with complex genetic variation data in the form of VCF files.

Vcflib provides methods to manipulate and interpret sequence variation as it can be described by VCF. It is both an API for parsing and operating on records of genomic variation as it can be described by the VCF format, and a collection of command-line utilities for executing complex manipulations on VCF files.

Megadepth is an efficient tool for extracting coverage related information from RNA and DNA-seq BAM and BigWig files. It supports reading whole-genome coverage from BAM files and writing either indexed TSV or BigWig files, as well as efficient region coverage summary over intervals from both types of files.

ctxcore is part of the SCENIC suite of tools. It provides core functions for pycisTarget and SCENIC.

This package implements two functions:

• pairwise.adonis is a wrapper function for multilevel pairwise comparison using adonis2 from package vegan. The function returns adjusted p-values using p.adjust(). It does not accept interaction between factors neither strata.

• pairwise.adonis2 accepts a model formula like in adonis from vegan. You can use interactions between factors and define strata to constrain permutations. For pairwise comparison a list of unique pairwise combination of factors is produced.
