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.

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.

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

Salad is a schema language for describing JSON or YAML structured linked data documents. Salad schema describes rules for preprocessing, structural validation, and hyperlink checking for documents described by a Salad schema. Salad supports rich data modeling with inheritance, template specialization, object identifiers, object references, documentation generation, code generation, and transformation to RDF. Salad provides a bridge between document and record oriented data modeling and the Semantic Web.

This package contains data used by pagoda2. The data within this package are the 3000 bone marrow cells used for vignettes.

This package provides a a transcriptomic-based framework to dissect cell communication in a global manner. It integrates an original expert-curated database of ligand-receptor interactions taking into account multiple subunits expression. Based on transcriptomic profiles (gene expression), this package computes communication scores between cells and provides several visualization modes that can be helpful to dig into cell-cell interaction mechanism and extend biological knowledge.

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.

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.

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.

LAMMPS is a classical molecular dynamics simulator designed to run efficiently on parallel computers. LAMMPS has potentials for solid-state materials (metals, semiconductors), soft matter (biomolecules, polymers), and coarse-grained or mesoscopic systems. It can be used to model atoms or, more generically, as a parallel particle simulator at the atomic, meso, or continuum scale.

FastTree can handle alignments with up to a million of sequences in a reasonable amount of time and memory. For large alignments, FastTree is 100-1,000 times faster than PhyML 3.0 or RAxML 7.

The WiggleTools package allows genomewide data files to be manipulated as numerical functions, equipped with all the standard functional analysis operators (sum, product, product by a scalar, comparators), and derived statistics (mean, median, variance, stddev, t-test, Wilcoxon's rank sum test, etc).

Sickle is a tool that trims reads based on quality and length thresholds. It uses sliding windows to detect low-quality bases at the 3'-end and high-quality bases at the 5'-end. Additionally, it discards reads based on the length threshold.

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

This package provides version 1.12 of the HTSlib C library for high-throughput sequence analysis. The package is primarily useful to developers of other R packages who wish to make use of HTSlib.

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

This package provides tools for dealing with Unique Molecular Identifiers (UMIs) and Random Molecular Tags (RMTs) in genetic sequences. There are six tools: the extract and whitelist commands are used to prepare a fastq containing UMIs +/- cell barcodes for alignment. The remaining commands, group, dedup, and count/count_tab, are used to identify PCR duplicates using the UMIs and perform different levels of analysis depending on the needs of the user.

This tool provides a Python framework to streamline genomics operations. It offers a direct interface to Ensembl genome assemblies and annotations, while also accommodating custom genomes via FASTA/GTF inputs. The primary objective of pybio is to simplify genome management. It achieves this by providing automatic download of Ensembl genome assemblies and annotation, provides Python genomic feature search and sequence retrieval from the managed genomes, STAR indexing and mapping and more.

This package contains the Battenberg R package for subclonal copy number estimation, as described by Nik-Zainal et al.

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.

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.

PyEGA3 is a tool for viewing and downloading files from authorized EGA datasets. It uses the EGA data API and has several key features:

• Files are transferred over secure https connections and received unencrypted, so no need for decryption after download.

• Downloads resume from where they left off in the event that the connection is interrupted.

• Supports file segmenting and parallelized download of segments, improving overall performance.

• After download completes, file integrity is verified using checksums.

• Implements the GA4GH-compliant htsget protocol for download of genomic ranges for data files with accompanying index files.

MOFA is a factor analysis model that provides a general framework for the integration of multi-omic data sets in an unsupervised fashion. Intuitively, MOFA can be viewed as a versatile and statistically rigorous generalization of principal component analysis to multi-omics data. Given several data matrices with measurements of multiple -omics data types on the same or on overlapping sets of samples, MOFA infers an interpretable low-dimensional representation in terms of a few latent factors. These learnt factors represent the driving sources of variation across data modalities, thus facilitating the identification of cellular states or disease subgroups.

Fastp is a tool designed to provide fast all-in-one preprocessing for FastQ files. This tool has multi-threading support to afford high performance.
