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

PiGX RNAseq is an analysis pipeline for preprocessing and reporting for RNA sequencing experiments. It is easy to use and produces high quality reports. The inputs are reads files from the sequencing experiment, and a configuration file which describes the experiment. In addition to quality control of the experiment, the pipeline produces a differential expression report comparing samples in an easily configurable manner.

Ritornello is a ChIP-seq peak calling algorithm based on signal processing that can accurately call binding events without the need to do a pair total DNA input or IgG control sample. It has been tested for use with narrow binding events such as transcription factor ChIP-seq.

HOMER (Hypergeometric Optimization of Motif EnRichment) is a suite of tools for Motif Discovery and next-gen sequencing analysis. It is a collection of command line programs written in Perl and C++. HOMER was primarily written as a de novo motif discovery algorithm and is well suited for finding 8-20 bp motifs in large scale genomics data. HOMER contains many useful tools for analyzing ChIP-Seq, GRO-Seq, RNA-Seq, DNase-Seq, Hi-C and numerous other types of functional genomics sequencing data sets.

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).

This package implements the method csSAM that computes cell-specific differential expression from measured cell proportions using SAM.

Bio++ is a set of C++ libraries for Bioinformatics, including sequence analysis, phylogenetics, molecular evolution and population genetics. This library provides sequence-related modules.

Cyvcf2 is a Cython wrapper around htslib built for fast parsing of Variant Call Format (VCF) files.

The SCDE package implements a set of statistical methods for analyzing single-cell RNA-seq data. SCDE fits individual error models for single-cell RNA-seq measurements. These models can then be used for assessment of differential expression between groups of cells, as well as other types of analysis. The SCDE package also contains the pagoda framework which applies pathway and gene set overdispersion analysis to identify aspects of transcriptional heterogeneity among single cells.

PhenoGraph is a clustering method designed for high-dimensional single-cell data. It works by creating a graph representing phenotypic similarities between cells and then identifying communities in this graph.

F-Seq is a software package that generates a continuous tag sequence density estimation allowing identification of biologically meaningful sites such as transcription factor binding sites (ChIP-seq) or regions of open chromatin (DNase-seq). Output can be displayed directly in the UCSC Genome Browser.

This package is a client implementation of the GA4GH htsget protocol. It provides a simple and reliable way to retrieve genomic data from servers supporting the protocol.

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.

BayesPrism includes deconvolution and embedding learning modules. The deconvolution module models a prior from cell type-specific expression profiles from scRNA-seq to jointly estimate the posterior distribution of cell type composition and cell type-specific gene expression from bulk RNA-seq expression of tumor samples. The embedding learning module uses Expectation-maximization (EM) to approximate the tumor expression using a linear combination of malignant gene programs while conditional on the inferred expression and fraction of non-malignant cells estimated by the deconvolution module.

Salmon is a program to produce highly-accurate, transcript-level quantification estimates from RNA-seq data. Salmon achieves its accuracy and speed via a number of different innovations, including the use of lightweight alignments (accurate but fast-to-compute proxies for traditional read alignments) and massively-parallel stochastic collapsed variational inference.

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.

This package provides different statistical methods to extract biological activities from omics data within a unified framework.

Splicekit is a modular platform for splicing analysis from short-read RNA-seq datasets. The platform also integrates pybio for genomic operations and scanRBP for RNA-protein binding studies. The whole analysis is self-contained (one single directory) and the platform is written in Python, in a modular way.

Bowtie is a fast, memory-efficient short read aligner. It aligns short DNA sequences (reads) to the human genome at a rate of over 25 million 35-bp reads per hour. Bowtie indexes the genome with a Burrows-Wheeler index to keep its memory footprint small: typically about 2.2 GB for the human genome (2.9 GB for paired-end).

This package provides an R API and htmlwidget facilitating interactive visualization of spatial single-cell data with Vitessce. The R API contains classes and functions for loading single-cell data stored in compatible on-disk formats. The htmlwidget is a wrapper around the Vitessce JavaScript library and can be used in the Viewer tab of RStudio or Shiny apps.
