The Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) is a high-performance visualization tool for interactive exploration of large, integrated genomic datasets. It supports a wide variety of data types, including array-based and next-generation sequence data, and genomic annotations.

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).

Contig Annotation Tool (CAT) and Bin Annotation Tool (BAT) are pipelines for the taxonomic classification of long DNA sequences and metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs/bins) of both known and (highly) unknown microorganisms, as generated by contemporary metagenomics studies. The core algorithm of both programs involves gene calling, mapping of predicted ORFs against the nr protein database, and voting-based classification of the entire contig / MAG based on classification of the individual ORFs. CAT and BAT can be run from intermediate steps if files are formated appropriately

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.

Bioparser is a C++ header only parsing library for several bioinformatics formats (FASTA/Q, MHAP/PAF/SAM), with support for zlib compressed files.

This package provides tools for rapid prokaryotic genome annotation.

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.

Primer3 is a widely used program for designing PCR primers. PCR is an essential and ubiquitous tool in genetics and molecular biology. Primer3 can also design hybridization probes and sequencing primers.

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

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.

Easel is an ANSI C code library developed by the Eddy/Rivas laboratory at Harvard. Easel supports our work on computational analysis of biological sequences using probabilistic models. Easel is used by HMMER, the profile hidden Markov model software that underlies several protein and DNA sequence family databases such as Pfam, and by Infernal, the profile stochastic context-free grammar software that underlies the Rfam RNA family database. Easel aims to make similar applications more robust and easier to develop, by providing a set of reusable, documented, and well-tested functions.

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.

Anvi’o is a comprehensive platform that brings together many aspects of today’s computational strategies of data-enabled microbiology, including genomics, metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, pangenomics, metapangenomics, phylogenomics, and microbial population genetics in an integrated and easy-to-use fashion through extensive interactive visualization capabilities.

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.

SPAdes is an assembly toolkit containing various assembly pipelines.

This package contains functions to extract information from Oxford Nanopore sequencing data and alignments.

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.

SeqAn is a C++ library of efficient algorithms and data structures for the analysis of sequences with the focus on biological data. It contains algorithms and data structures for string representation and their manipulation, online and indexed string search, efficient I/O of bioinformatics file formats, sequence alignment, and more.

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