OpenTimsTDF is a standalone, cross-platform reader for Bruker timsTOF .tdf and .tdf_bin acquisition files, implemented in pure Rust with no dependency on vendor SDKs. Python bindings built on PyO3 expose frame, scan, and peak data as native Python objects, providing ion-mobility-aware access that can be assembled into a Pandas or Polars DataFrame.

OpenWRaw is a standalone, cross-platform reader for Waters MassLynx .raw acquisition directories, implemented in pure Rust with no dependency on vendor DLLs. Python bindings built on PyO3 expose functions, scans, and ion-mobility data as native Python objects from Waters QTof and SYNAPT instrument families, ready to be assembled into a Pandas or Polars DataFrame.

OpenTFRaw is a standalone, cross-platform reader for Thermo Fisher Scientific .raw mass-spectrometry files, implemented in pure Rust with no dependency on vendor DLLs or .NET. Python bindings built on PyO3 return NumPy arrays for spectral data, straightforward to load into Pandas or Polars. Covers format versions 8 through 66 (LCQ Classic through Orbitrap Astral and modern TSQ instruments), supporting both centroid and profile spectra.

PanAbyss is a tool for exploring and visualizing pangenome graphs. It allows users to search for and display regions of a pangenome using coordinates on a reference individual or based on annotations. It also enables searching for regions associated with a selected set of individuals (for example, those linked to a phenotype), computing proximity trees, and retrieving sequences from a given region.

SAMtools and BCFtools are widely used programs for processing and analysing high-throughput sequencing data. They include tools for file format conversion and manipulation, sorting, querying, statistics, variant calling, and effect analysis amongst other methods.

The main purpose of HTSlib is to provide access to genomic information files, both alignment data (SAM, BAM, and CRAM formats) and variant data (VCF and BCF formats). The library also provides interfaces to access and index genome reference data in FASTA format and tab-delimited files with genomic coordinates. It is utilized and incorporated into both SAMtools and BCFtools.

dadi is a bioinformatics tool for inferring demographic history and selection from genetic data using diffusion approximations, offering speed and flexibility in modeling population dynamics. It supports up to three populations with customizable parameters and provides efficient computational performance.

Eukaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline-External caller scripts and documentation

BCFtools is a set of utilities that manipulate variant calls in the Variant Call Format (VCF) and its binary counterpart BCF. All commands work transparently with both VCFs and BCFs, both uncompressed and BGZF-compressed.

MiRA (Multilayer Interactive Rendering Application) is a free, browser-based, installation-free tool for interactive visualisation of multilayer networks in ecology and biology. While developed with biology in mind, MiRA can render any multilayer network. Available as a standalone web app and also fully integrated into the emln R package.

RejuvenationKit is an open-source Python toolkit for reproducible auditing and analysis of longitudinal preclinical rejuvenation studies. It provides protocol-aware missingness checks, experimental-confounding diagnostics, attrition and analysis-readiness profiling, covariance-aware multichannel change detection, sequential response monitoring, randomized longitudinal inference, visualization, and integrity-tracked report bundles.

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 two-step desktop GUI application for RNA-seq differential gene expression (DEG) analysis. Step 1 reads raw GDC/TCGA STAR gene-count files together with a GDC sample sheet, matches samples to a Tumor/Normal design, and runs PyDESeq2 to produce normalized counts and DEG statistics. Step 2 generates publication-style volcano plots, MA plots, summary bar charts, and expression heatmaps (with optional gene labeling) from the results, exportable as PNG, PDF, SVG, or TIFF. Requires no coding from the user.

PinPath enables flexible visualization of (omics) data onto pathways diagrams, allowing users to pinpoint where the relevant changes occur. It supports pathway diagrams from WikiPathways and KEGG, as well as custom GPML and KGML files. Data can be displayed on both native pathway layouts and network representations

RFdiffusion is an open source method for structure generation, with or without conditional information (a motif, target etc).

This package provides panels summarising data points in hexagonal bins for `iSEE`. It is part of `iSEEu`, the iSEE universe of panels that extend the `iSEE` package.

DANTE is a software tool for genotyping and characterizing tandem repeats (TRs) from both second- and third-generation sequencing data. It supports the analysis of short-read massively parallel sequencing (sr-MPS) and long-read massively parallel sequencing (lr-MPS), enabling accurate repeat characterization across a wide range of loci. A key feature of DANTE is its ability to determine genotypes at nucleotide resolution, including the characterization and phasing of complex repeat motifs. For sr-MPS data, the tool determines allele size and sequence composition of alleles for which spanning reads are generated. In addition, it identifies alleles that exceed the sequencing read length by estimating their presence from partial read evidence and supports the visualisation of the sequence composition of partial reads. For lr-MPS data, where complete repeat regions are typically sequenced, DANTE determines the allele size and sequence composition of identified alleles.

toscca is an R package to perform Thresholded Ordered Sparse Canonical Correlation Analysis (TOSCCA).

SCENIC+ is a python package to build gene regulatory networks (GRNs) using combined or separate single-cell gene expression (scRNA-seq) and single-cell chromatin accessibility (scATAC-seq) data.

A database system designed to store, organize, and manage large-scale nucleotide sequencing read data (like PacBio reads) for the Dazzler genome assembler

Circlator is a tool to circularize genome assemblies. It will attempt to identify each circular sequence and output a linearised version of it. It does this by assembling all reads that map to contig ends and comparing the resulting contigs with the input assembly.

NOVOPlasty - The organelle assembler and heteroplasmy caller. NOVOPlasty is a de novo assembler and heteroplasmy/variance caller for short circular genomes..

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.
