PAIRADISE is a method for detecting allele-specific alternative splicing (ASAS) from RNA-seq data. Unlike conventional approaches that detect ASAS events one sample at a time, PAIRADISE aggregates ASAS signals across multiple individuals in a population. By treating the two alleles of an individual as paired, and multiple individuals sharing a heterozygous SNP as replicates, PAIRADISE formulates ASAS detection as a statistical problem for identifying differential alternative splicing from RNA-seq data with paired replicates.

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

FastQC aims to provide a simple way to do some quality control checks on raw sequence data coming from high throughput sequencing pipelines. It provides a modular set of analyses which you can use to give a quick impression of whether your data has any problems of which you should be aware before doing any further analysis.

The main functions of FastQC are:

• Import of data from BAM, SAM or FastQ files (any variant);

• Providing a quick overview to tell you in which areas there may be problems;

• Summary graphs and tables to quickly assess your data;

• Export of results to an HTML based permanent report;

• Offline operation to allow automated generation of reports without running the interactive application.

Circus is an R package for annotation, analysis and visualization of circRNA data. Users can annotate their circRNA candidates with host genes, gene features they are spliced from, and discriminate between known and yet unknown splice junctions. Circular-to-linear ratios of circRNAs can be calculated, and a number of descriptive plots easily generated.

EMBOSS is the "European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite". EMBOSS is an analysis package specially developed for the needs of the molecular biology (e.g. EMBnet) user community. The software automatically copes with data in a variety of formats and even allows transparent retrieval of sequence data from the web. It also provides a number of libraries for the development of software in the field of molecular biology. EMBOSS also integrates a range of currently available packages and tools for sequence analysis into a seamless whole.

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.

FAN-C provides a pipeline for analysing Hi-C data starting at mapped paired-end sequencing reads.

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

This package provides a new batch effect correction method based on Projection to Latent Structures Discriminant Analysis named “PLSDA-batch” to correct data prior to any downstream analysis. PLSDA-batch estimates latent components related to treatment and batch effects to remove batch variation. The method is multivariate, non-parametric and performs dimension reduction. Combined with centered log ratio transformation for addressing uneven library sizes and compositional structure, PLSDA-batch addresses all characteristics of microbiome data that existing correction methods have ignored so far.

A streamgraph is a type of stacked area chart. It represents the evolution of a numeric variable for several groups. Areas are usually displayed around a central axis, and edges are rounded to give a flowing shape. This package provides an htmlwidget for building streamgraph visualizations.

BBKNN is a batch effect removal tool that can be directly used in the Scanpy workflow. It serves as an alternative to scanpy.api.pp.neighbors(), with both functions creating a neighbour graph for subsequent use in clustering, pseudotime and UMAP visualisation. If technical artifacts are present in the data, they will make it challenging to link corresponding cell types across different batches. BBKNN actively combats this effect by splitting your data into batches and finding a smaller number of neighbours for each cell within each of the groups. This helps create connections between analogous cells in different batches without altering the counts or PCA space.

This package provides several programs that perform operations on SAM/BAM files. All of these programs are built into a single executable called bam.

This package provides a method to detect and enable removal of doublets from single-cell RNA-sequencing.

This package is an integrated pipeline for large-scale phylogenetic profiling of genomes and metagenomes. PhyloPhlAn is an accurate, rapid, and easy-to-use method for large-scale microbial genome characterization and phylogenetic analysis at multiple levels of resolution. This software package can assign both genomes and MAGs to SGBs. PhyloPhlAn can reconstruct strain-level phylogenies using clade- specific maximally informative phylogenetic markers, and can also scale to very large phylogenies comprising >17,000 microbial species.

Bowtie 2 is a fast and memory-efficient tool for aligning sequencing reads to long reference sequences. It is particularly good at aligning reads of about 50 up to 100s or 1,000s of characters, and particularly good at aligning to relatively long (e.g. mammalian) genomes. Bowtie 2 indexes the genome with an FM Index to keep its memory footprint small: for the human genome, its memory footprint is typically around 3.2 GB. Bowtie 2 supports gapped, local, and paired-end alignment modes.

Miniasm is a very fast OLC-based de novo assembler for noisy long reads. It takes all-vs-all read self-mappings (typically by minimap) as input and outputs an assembly graph in the GFA format. Different from mainstream assemblers, miniasm does not have a consensus step. It simply concatenates pieces of read sequences to generate the final unitig sequences. Thus the per-base error rate is similar to the raw input reads.

This package converts the output of the Sailfish and Salmon RNA-seq quantification tools so that it can be used with the Sleuth differential analysis package.

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

This package provides procedures for efficient pythonic random access to fasta subsequences.

VCFtools is a program package designed for working with VCF files, such as those generated by the 1000 Genomes Project. The aim of VCFtools is to provide easily accessible methods for working with complex genetic variation data in the form of VCF files.

An ORF caller finds stretches of DNA that, when translated, are not interrupted by stop codons. OrfM finds and prints these ORFs.

Pyani provides a package and script for calculation of genome-scale average nucleotide identity.

Harmony is an algorithm for integrating multiple high-dimensional datasets with fuzzy k-means and locally linear adjustments.

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.
