This package provides basic routines for estimation of gene-specific transcriptional derivatives and visualization of the resulting velocity patterns.

This package provides Python bindings to the UCSC Big Binary (bigWig/bigBed) file library. This provides read-level access to local and remote bigWig and bigBed files but no write capabilitites. The main feature is fast retrieval of range queries into numpy arrays.

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.

This package is a library to enable flexible and scalable operations on genomic interval dataframes in Python. Bioframe enables access to a rich set of dataframe operations. Working in Python enables rapid visualization and iteration of genomic analyses. The philosophy underlying bioframe is to enable flexible operations. Instead of creating a function for every possible use-case, we encourage users to compose functions to achieve their goals.

inStrain is a Python program for analysis of co-occurring genome populations from metagenomes that allows highly accurate genome comparisons, analysis of coverage, microdiversity, and linkage, and sensitive SNP detection with gene localization and synonymous non-synonymous identification.

This package implements parallel block gzip. For many formats, in particular genomics data formats, data are compressed in fixed-length blocks such that they can be easily indexed based on a (genomic) coordinate order, since typically each block is sorted according to this order. This allows for each block to be individually compressed (deflated), or more importantly, decompressed (inflated), with the latter enabling random retrieval of data in large files (gigabytes to terabytes). pbgzip is not limited to any particular format, but certain features are tailored to genomics data formats when enabled. Parallel decompression is somewhat faster, but the true speedup comes during compression.

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

NGS is a domain-specific API for accessing reads, alignments and pileups produced from Next Generation Sequencing. The API itself is independent from any particular back-end implementation, and supports use of multiple back-ends simultaneously.

This is a Python module for analyzing cell-hashing/nucleus-hashing data. It is the demultiplexing module of Pegasus, which is used by Cumulus in the demultiplexing step.

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.).

Grassroots DICOM (GDCM) is an implementation of the DICOM standard designed to be open source so that researchers may access clinical data directly. GDCM includes a file format definition and a network communications protocol, both of which should be extended to provide a full set of tools for a researcher or small medical imaging vendor to interface with an existing medical database.

SeqAn is a C++ library of efficient algorithms and data structures for the analysis of sequences with the focus on biological data. It contains algorithms and data structures for string representation and their manipulation, online and indexed string search, efficient I/O of bioinformatics file formats, sequence alignment, and more.

This library implements a FASTA and a FASTQ parser without relying on a complex dependency tree.

This package provides a collection of useful functions for working with DNA methylation micro-array 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.

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.

The goal of anpan is to consolidate statistical methods for strain analysis. This includes automated filtering of metagenomic functional profiles, testing genetic elements for association with outcomes, phylogenetic association testing, and pathway-level random effects models.

t-Stochastic Neighborhood Embedding (t-SNE) is a highly successful 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 package is a Cython wrapper for FIt-SNE.

This package provides a lightweight interface to Stan <https://mc-stan.org>. The CmdStanR interface is an alternative to RStan that calls the command line interface for compilation and running algorithms instead of interfacing with C++ via Rcpp'.

Bio++ is a set of C++ libraries for Bioinformatics, including sequence analysis, phylogenetics, molecular evolution and population genetics. It is Object Oriented and is designed to be both easy to use and computer efficient. Bio++ intends to help programmers to write computer expensive programs, by providing them a set of re-usable tools.

gkm-SVM, a sequence-based method for predicting regulatory DNA elements, is a useful tool for studying gene regulatory mechanisms. LS-GKM is an effort to improve the method. It offers much better scalability and provides further advanced gapped k-mer based kernel functions. As a result, LS-GKM achieves considerably higher accuracy than the original gkm-SVM.

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.

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

Hotspot is a tool for identifying informative genes (and gene modules) in a single-cell dataset. Importantly, "informative" is decided based on how well a gene's variation agrees with some cell metric---some similarity mapping between cells. Genes which are informative are those whose expression varies in similar way among cells which are nearby in the given metric.
