EpiScanpy is a toolkit to analyse single-cell open chromatin (scATAC-seq) and single-cell DNA methylation (for example scBS-seq) data. EpiScanpy is the epigenomic extension of the very popular scRNA-seq analysis tool Scanpy (Genome Biology, 2018).

Proteinortho is a tool to detect orthologous genes across different species. For doing so, it compares similarities of given gene sequences and clusters them to find significant groups. The algorithm was designed to handle large-scale data and can be applied to hundreds of species at once.

VoltRon is a novel spatial omic analysis toolbox for multi-omics integration using spatial image registration. VoltRon is capable of analyzing multiple types and modalities of spatially-aware datasets. VoltRon visualizes and analyzes regions of interests (ROIs), spots, cells and even molecules.

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.

This package provides a tool for identifying and removing doublets in single-cell RNA-seq data.

The ccwl is a concise syntax to express CWL workflows. ccwl is a compiler to generate CWL workflows from concise descriptions in ccwl. It is implemented as an EDSL in the Scheme programming language.

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.

Pybiomart provides a simple pythonic interface to biomart.

PRINSEQ is a bioinformatics tool to help you preprocess your genomic or metagenomic sequence data in FASTA or FASTQ formats. The tool is written in Perl and can be helpful if you want to filter, reformat, or trim your sequence data. It also generates basic statistics for your sequences.

Infernal ("INFERence of RNA ALignment") is a tool for searching DNA sequence databases for RNA structure and sequence similarities. It is an implementation of a special case of profile stochastic context-free grammars called covariance models (CMs). A CM is like a sequence profile, but it scores a combination of sequence consensus and RNA secondary structure consensus, so in many cases, it is more capable of identifying RNA homologs that conserve their secondary structure more than their primary sequence.

This package provides a computational toolkit in R for the integration, exploration, and analysis of high-dimensional single-cell cytometry and imaging data.

This tool detects batch effects in high-dimensional data based on chi^2-test.

Entrez Direct (EDirect) is a method for accessing the National Center for Biotechnology Information's (NCBI) set of interconnected databases (publication, sequence, structure, gene, variation, expression, etc.) from a terminal. Functions take search terms from command-line arguments. Individual operations are combined to build multi-step queries. Record retrieval and formatting normally complete the process.

EDirect also provides an argument-driven function that simplifies the extraction of data from document summaries or other results that are returned in structured XML format. This can eliminate the need for writing custom software to answer ad hoc questions.

This package has been developed under ROpenSci gudelines to integrate conventional and cutting edge cytometry analysis tools under a unified framework. It aims to represent an intuitive and interactive approach to analysing cytometry data in R.

The BIOM file format is designed to be a general-use format for representing counts of observations e.g. operational taxonomic units, KEGG orthology groups or lipid types, in one or more biological samples e.g. microbiome samples, genomes, metagenomes.

This package provides a robust, parallelized Python CLI for annotating three prime UTR.

Bioawk is an extension to Brian Kernighan's awk, adding the support of several common biological data formats, including optionally gzip'ed BED, GFF, SAM, VCF, FASTA/Q and TAB-delimited formats with column names. It also adds a few built-in functions and a command line option to use TAB as the input/output delimiter. When the new functionality is not used, bioawk is intended to behave exactly the same as the original BWK awk.

BioRuby comes with a comprehensive set of Ruby development tools and libraries for bioinformatics and molecular biology. BioRuby has components for sequence analysis, pathway analysis, protein modelling and phylogenetic analysis; it supports many widely used data formats and provides easy access to databases, external programs and public web services, including BLAST, KEGG, GenBank, MEDLINE and GO.

Telomerecat is a tool for estimating the average telomere length (TL) for a paired end, whole genome sequencing (WGS) sample.

Telomerecat is adaptable, accurate and fast. The algorithm accounts for sequencing amplification artifacts, anneouploidy (common in cancer samples) and noise generated by WGS. For a high coverage WGS BAM file of around 100GB telomerecat can produce an estimate in ~1 hour.

Mantis is a space-efficient data structure that can be used to index thousands of raw-read genomics experiments and facilitate large-scale sequence searches on those experiments. Mantis uses counting quotient filters instead of Bloom filters, enabling rapid index builds and queries, small indexes, and exact results, i.e., no false positives or negatives. Furthermore, Mantis is also a colored de Bruijn graph representation, so it supports fast graph traversal and other topological analyses in addition to large-scale sequence-level searches.

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.

CellBender is a software package for eliminating technical artifacts from high-throughput single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data.

This tool is for building Generalized Additive Models in Python. It emphasizes modularity and performance. The API will be immediately familiar to anyone with experience of scikit-learn or scipy.

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.
