This package is used for demultiplexing single-cell sequencing experiments of pooled cells. These cells are labeled with barcode oligonucleotides. The package implements methods to fit regression mixture models for a probabilistic classification of cells, including multiplet detection. Demultiplexing error rates can be estimated, and methods for quality control are provided.

Sjcount is a utility for fast quantification of splice junctions in RNA-seq data. It is annotation-agnostic and offset-aware. This version does count multisplits.

The Filtlong package is a tool for filtering long reads by quality. It can take a set of long reads and produce a smaller, better subset. It uses both read length (longer is better) and read identity (higher is better) when choosing which reads pass the filter.

This package provides bioinformatic tools to align, deduplicate, reformat, filter and normalize DNA and RNA-seq data. It includes the following tools: BBMap, a short read aligner for DNA and RNA-seq data; BBNorm, a kmer-based error-correction and normalization tool; Dedupe, a tool to simplify assemblies by removing duplicate or contained subsequences that share a target percent identity; Reformat, to convert reads between fasta/fastq/scarf/fasta+qual/sam, interleaved/paired, and ASCII-33/64, at over 500 MB/s; and BBDuk, a tool to filter, trim, or mask reads with kmer matches to an artifact/contaminant file.

Kaiju is a program for sensitive taxonomic classification of high-throughput sequencing reads from metagenomic whole genome sequencing experiments.

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 expanded visualization and plotting functionality for Giotto Suite.

This package offers a set of functions to use in order to compute communities on graphs weighted or unweighted.

genomepy is designed to provide a simple and straightforward way to download and use genomic data. This includes

1. searching available data,

2. showing the available metadata,

3. automatically downloading, preprocessing and matching data, and

4. generating optional aligner indexes.

All with sensible, yet controllable defaults.

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.

MOSAIK is a program for mapping second and third-generation sequencing reads to a reference genome. MOSAIK can align reads generated by all the major sequencing technologies, including Illumina, Applied Biosystems SOLiD, Roche 454, Ion Torrent and Pacific BioSciences SMRT.

Seqtk is a fast and lightweight tool for processing sequences in the FASTA or FASTQ format. It parses both FASTA and FASTQ files which can be optionally compressed by gzip.

Fxtract extracts sequences from a protein or nucleotide fastx (FASTA or FASTQ) file given a subsequence. It uses a simple substring search for basic tasks but can change to using POSIX regular expressions, PCRE, hash lookups or multi-pattern searching as required. By default fxtract looks in the sequence of each record but can also be told to look in the header, comment or quality sections.

Mudskipper is a tool for projecting genomic alignments to transcriptomic coordinates.

This package provides the ASCAT R package that can be used to infer tumour purity, ploidy and allele-specific copy number profiles.

SortMeRNA is a biological sequence analysis tool for filtering, mapping and OTU picking of NGS reads. The core algorithm is based on approximate seeds and allows for fast and sensitive analyses of nucleotide sequences. The main application of SortMeRNA is filtering rRNA from metatranscriptomic data.

iVar is a computational package that contains functions broadly useful for viral amplicon-based sequencing.

This package provides extra utility functions to perform common tasks in the analysis of omics data, leveraging and enhancing features provided by Bioconductor packages.

BCFtools is a set of utilities that manipulate variant calls in the Variant Call Format (VCF) and its binary counterpart BCF. All commands work transparently with both VCFs and BCFs, both uncompressed and BGZF-compressed.

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.

SCENIC (Single-cell regulatory network inference and clustering) is an R package to infer Gene Regulatory Networks and cell types from single-cell RNA-seq data.

This package conducts batch effects removal from a taxa read count table by a conditional quantile regression method. The distributional attributes of microbiome data - zero-inflation and over-dispersion, are simultaneously considered.

This package offers a flexible statistical simulator for scRNA-seq data. It can generate data that captures gene correlation. Additionally, it allows for varying the number of cells and sequencing depth.

The Shaman package implements functions for resampling Hi-C matrices in order to generate expected contact distributions given constraints on marginal coverage and contact-distance probability distributions. The package also provides support for visualizing normalized matrices and statistical analysis of contact distributions around selected landmarks.
