The IQ-TREE software was created as the successor of IQPNNI and TREE-PUZZLE (thus the name IQ-TREE). IQ-TREE was motivated by the rapid accumulation of phylogenomic data, leading to a need for efficient phylogenomic software that can handle a large amount of data and provide more complex models of sequence evolution. To this end, IQ-TREE can utilize multicore computers and distributed parallel computing to speed up the analysis. IQ-TREE automatically performs checkpointing to resume an interrupted analysis.

As input IQ-TREE accepts all common sequence alignment formats including PHYLIP, FASTA, Nexus, Clustal and MSF. As output IQ-TREE will write a self-readable report file (name suffix .iqtree), a NEWICK tree file (.treefile) which can be visualized by tree viewer programs such as FigTree, Dendroscope or iTOL.

Key features of IQ-TREE:

• Fast and effective stochastic algorithm to reconstruct phylogenetic trees by maximum likelihood;

• An ultrafast bootstrap approximation (UFBoot) to assess branch supports;

• An ultrafast and automatic model selection (ModelFinder);

• A flexible simulator (AliSim) which can simulate sequence alignments under more realistic models than Seq-Gen and INDELible;

• Several fast branch tests like SH-aLRT and aBayes test and tree topology tests like the approximately unbiased (AU) test.

This package provides IQ-TREE version 3.

This package provides a tool to download or view data in the cloud environments of ICGC.

Control-FREEC automatically computes, normalizes, segments copy number and beta allele frequency (BAF) profiles, then calls copy number alterations and LOH. The control (matched normal) sample is optional for whole genome sequencing data but mandatory for whole exome or targeted sequencing data. For whole genome sequencing data analysis, the program can also use mappability data (files created by GEM).

SHARC is a pipeline for somatic SV calling and filtering from tumor-only Nanopore sequencing data. It performs mapping, SV calling, SV filtering, random forest classification, blacklist filtering and SV prioritization, followed by automated primer design for PCR amplicons of 80-120 bp that are useful to track cancer ctDNA molecules in liquid biopsies.

FastQC aims to provide a QC report which can spot problems which originate either in the sequencer or in the starting library material. It can either run as a stand alone interactive application for the immediate analysis of small numbers of FastQ files, or it can be run in a non-interactive mode where it would be suitable for integrating into a larger analysis pipeline for the systematic processing of large numbers of files.

This package computes metrics and generates Interactive QC plots from the sequencing summary report generated by Oxford Nanopore technologies basecaller.

This package provides an interface for the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) to search genetic sequence data bases. This includes interfaces to blastn, blastp, blastx, and makeblastdb.

This package contains a collection of bioinformatics data structures and algorithms. It provides I/O classes, bitio classes, text indexing classes and BAM sequence alignment functionality.

Primer3-py is a Python-abstracted API for the popular Primer3 library. The intention is to provide a simple and reliable interface for automated oligo analysis and design.

Primer3-py also includes bindings for the Primer3 primer design engine if you’d prefer to use an established pipeline. The IO parameters mirror those of the original Primer3, but you don’t have to deal with messy and slow file IO for your automated workflows.

MetaMaps is tool specifically developed for the analysis of long-read (PacBio/Oxford Nanopore) metagenomic datasets.

SPAdes is an assembly toolkit containing various assembly pipelines.

Scriabin aims to provide a comprehensive view of cell-cell communication (CCC). It achieves this without requiring subsampling or aggregation.

hiddenDomains is a suite of programs used to identify significant enrichment of ChIP-seq reads that span large domains, like HK27me3. The input data can be in BAM format, or in a tab-delimited 'reads per bin' format described below. The output is a BED formatted file the lists the enriched domains and their posterior probabilities.

CMAPLE is a C++ reimplementation of MAPLE - a novel likelihood-based phylogenetic inference method for pandemic-scale epidemiological genomic data.

This package provides a phylogeny dating method using least-squares algorithms and criteria.

This module provides code coverage metrics for Perl. Code coverage metrics describe how thoroughly tests exercise code. By using Devel::Cover you can discover areas of code not exercised by your tests and determine which tests to create to increase coverage.

This package provides procedures to calculate statistics for Oxford Nanopore sequencing data and alignments.

Biosoup is a C++ collection of header-only data structures used for storage and logging in bioinformatics tools.

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.
