Nallo is a bioinformatics analysis pipeline for long-reads from both PacBio and (targeted) ONT-data, focused on rare-disease. The pipeline detects a wide range of genetic variants, performs genome assembly, and reports CpG methylation. It also enables annotation and ranking of variants based on their predicted functional consequences.

The viewer includes timeline playback, tree comparison, MSA context, coloring, analytics, image export, and recording tools.

Pathogensurveillance is a population genomics pipeline for pathogen identification, variant detection, and biosurveillance. The pipeline accepts paths to raw reads for one or more organisms and creates reports in the form of an interactive HTML document. Significant features include the ability to analyze unidentified eukaryotic and prokaryotic samples, creation of reports for multiple user-defined groupings of samples, automated discovery and downloading of reference assemblies from NCBI RefSeq, and rapid initial identification based on k-mer sketches followed by a more robust multi gene phylogeny and SNP-based phylogeny.

A Python script that converts positional information from a SAM dataset into interval format with 0-based start and 1-based end. CIGAR string of SAM format is used to compute the end coordinate.

A python extension, written in C, for quick access to bigBed files and access to and creation of bigWig files.

Minigraph is a sequence-to-graph mapper and graph constructor. For graph generation, it aligns a query sequence against a sequence graph and incrementally augments an existing graph with long query subsequences diverged from the graph.

In silico derivatization for GC. The GC-derivatization tool converts carbonyl groups to C═N-OCH3 (MeOX) and transforms acidic protons into -Si(CH3)3 (TMS). Key functionalities include checking for specific groups, removing derivatization groups, and adding derivatization groups to molecules.

A cookiecutter template for bioinformatics projects, with a focus on building bioinformatics workflows that can run on the MPI-IE cluster according to FAIR principles.

NanoSV is a software package that can be used to identify structural genomic variations in long-read sequencing data, such as data produced by Oxford Nanopore Technologies’ MinION, GridION or PromethION instruments, or Pacific Biosciences RSII or Sequel sequencers.

RBPBench is a multi-function tool to evaluate CLIP-seq and other related genomic region data using a comprehensive collection of known RNA-binding protein (RBP) binding motifs. RBPBench can be used for a variety of purposes, from RBP motif search (database or user-supplied RBP motifs) in genomic regions, over motif enrichment and co-occurrence analysis, in-depth comparisons over multiple datasets via sequence and genomic annotation statistics, to benchmarking CLIP-seq peak caller methods as well as comparisons across cell types and CLIP-seq protocols. RBPBench supports both sequence and structure motifs, as well as regular expressions (sequence and structure patterns). Moreover, users can easily provide their own motif collections.

Tool to generate a count matrix for expression data in Galaxy. generate_count_matrix reads in one or more input text files with expression counts and produces a single combined file. Each input will have a column in the matrix containing expression values. The column containing gene (or feature) names should be identical for all input count files.

It is a web-application for visual and interactive gene expression analysis. Phantasus is based on Morpheus – a web-based software for heatmap visualisation and analysis, which was integrated with an R environment via OpenCPU API. Aside from basic visualization and filtering methods, R-based methods such as k-means clustering, principal component analysis or differential expression analysis with limma package are supported.
