ontoProc

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.

Freely available tools for biological computing in Python, with included cookbook, packaging and thorough documentation. Part of the [Open Bioinformatics Foundation](http://open-bio.org/). Contains the very useful [Entrez](https://biopython.org/DIST/docs/api/Bio.Entrez-module.html) package for API access to the NCBI databases.

Deep learning-based variant caller

Minimap2 is an pairwise aligner for genomic and spliced nucleotide sequences. It can perform the assembly-to-assembly alignment, and works with gzip'd FASTQ, FASTA formats. It also finds overlaps between long-reads.

Burrow-Wheeler Aligner for pairwise alignment between DNA sequences.

Workflow library embedded in the Go programming language, focusing on supporting complex workflow constructs, compiling to a single binary, providing powerful file naming and comprehensive audit reports for every output
