Genome mapping and spliced alignment of cDNA or amino acid sequences

Deep learning framework for molecular docking extending AutoDock Vina with convolutional neural network scoring functions, achieving superior virtual screening enrichment and pose prediction across diverse target classes; widely adopted in pharmaceutical structure-based drug design (J. Cheminformatics, 915+ stars, actively maintained)

A single molecule sequence assembler for genomes large and small.

A haplotype-resolved assembler for accurate Hifi reads.

A small <720Kb C++ windows utility. That allows you to load Ancestry, 23andMe, FTDNA, or Genes for Good RAW DNA files search them, merge them. covert them to Ancestry format. But also create files from peer reviewed publications to compare with you loaded data to give your genetic disposition for the condition you have entered the data for an statistical risk if OR values are included. Included with the program are example files for Type 2 Diabetes risk factors. (As I have type 2 Diabetes so I could test the results).

Descriptor library containing a variety of fingerprinting techniques, including the Smooth Overlap of Atomic Positions (SOAP).

A C++ library for parsing and manipulating VCF files.

maeparser is a parser for Schrodinger Maestro files.

A polymorphic bayesian genotyping model with wide applicability.

Tandem repeat genotyping with long reads, being a modified version of HipSTR.

Collection of tools for working with BAM files.

VCF manipulation and statistics (e.g. linkage disequilibrium, allele frequency, Fst).

A system for rapidly aligning entire genomes, whether in complete or draft form.

SKESA is a de-novo sequence read assembler for microbial genomes. It uses conservative heuristics and is designed to create breaks at repeat regions in the genome. This leads to excellent sequence quality without significantly compromising contiguity.

adapter trimmer for Oxford Nanopore reads

Scalable gVCF merging and joint variant calling for population sequencing projects

A generic C++ trie search tree library for small alphabets, allowing customizable leaf node structures and supporting approximate matching and word generation.

A suite of algorithms for matching position weight matrices (PWM) against DNA sequences. It features advanced matrix matching algorithms implemented in C++ that can be used to scan hundreds of matrices against chromosome-sized sequences in few seconds. MOODS can also process high-order PWMs with dependencies between adjacent positions and sequence variants such as SNPs, insertions and deletions.

VerityMap is a tool for mapping long reads to assemblies of extra-long tandem repeats, producing SAM files and identifying potential heterozygous sites and assembly errors through analysis of rare k-mers. It supports PacBio HiFi and ONT reads and generates interactive HTML plots for variant analysis.

Cufflinks assembles transcripts, estimates their abundances, and tests for differential expression and regulation in RNA-Seq samples.

Telseq is a tool for estimating telomere length from whole genome sequence data.

The fmcsR package introduces an efficient maximum common substructure (MCS) algorithms combined with a novel matching strategy that allows for atom and/or bond mismatches in the substructures shared among two small molecules. The resulting flexible MCSs (FMCSs) are often larger than strict MCSs, resulting in the identification of more common features in their source structures, as well as a higher sensitivity in finding compounds with weak structural similarities. The fmcsR package provides several utilities to use the FMCS algorithm for pairwise compound comparisons, structure similarity searching and clustering.

A bioinformatics tool for viewing and calculating base modification frequencies from BAM files

MailsDaddy MBOX to PST Converter is designed to move single or multiple MBOX file to Outlook PST, EML, MSG, HTML etc.

This package provides an R wrapper of the popular bowtie2 sequencing reads aligner and AdapterRemoval, a convenient tool for rapid adapter trimming, identification, and read merging. The package contains wrapper functions that allow for genome indexing and alignment to those indexes. The package also allows for the creation of .bam files via Rsamtools.

This package provides a framework for the quantification and analysis of Short Reads. It covers a complete workflow starting from raw sequence reads, over creation of alignments and quality control plots, to the quantification of genomic regions of interest. Read alignments are either generated through Rbowtie (data from DNA/ChIP/ATAC/Bis-seq experiments) or Rhisat2 (data from RNA-seq experiments that require spliced alignments), or can be provided in the form of bam files.

Provides a high-level R interface to CoreArray Genomic Data Structure (GDS) data files. GDS is portable across platforms with hierarchical structure to store multiple scalable array-oriented data sets with metadata information. It is suited for large-scale datasets, especially for data which are much larger than the available random-access memory. The gdsfmt package offers the efficient operations specifically designed for integers of less than 8 bits, since a diploid genotype, like single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), usually occupies fewer bits than a byte. Data compression and decompression are available with relatively efficient random access. It is also allowed to read a GDS file in parallel with multiple R processes supported by the package parallel.
