September 2021: the code repository has migrate to https://github.com/UWPR/Comet Comet is an open source tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) sequence database search engine. It identifies peptides by searching MS/MS spectra against sequences present in protein sequence databases. Comet currently exists as a simple Windows or Linux command line binary that only does MS/MS database search. Supported input formats are mzXML, mzML, ms2, and Thermo RAW files. Supported output formats are tab-delimited text, Percolator pin, SQT, and pepXML Documentation and project website: http://comet-ms.sourceforge.net

Bowtie 2 is a fast, memory-efficient genomic read aligner used to map sequencing reads against long reference sequences such as mammalian genomes. It is especially effective for reads ranging from around 50 bases to hundreds or thousands of characters, and it supports modern sequencing workflows that require gapped, local, and paired-end alignment. The tool builds compact FM-index-based reference indexes, keeping memory usage low even for large genomes like the human genome. Bowtie 2 outputs alignments in SAM format and includes companion utilities for building and inspecting indexes. It is widely used in bioinformatics pipelines for RNA-seq, DNA-seq, metagenomics, variant analysis, and other sequencing-based research tasks. Overall, Bowtie 2 remains a foundational command-line tool for high-throughput sequence alignment and reproducible computational biology workflows.

RasTop is a molecular graphics program intended for the visualisation of proteins, nucleic acids and small molecules based on the popular Rasmol software. The program is aimed at the rapid visualization and analysis of molecules.

MaxBin is a software for binning assembled metagenomic sequences based on an Expectation-Maximization algorithm. Users could understand the underlying bins (genomes) of the microbes in their metagenomes by simply providing assembled metagenomic sequences and the reads coverage information or sequencing reads. For users' convenience MaxBin will report genome-related statistics, including estimated completeness, GC content and genome size in the binning summary page. Users could use MEGAN or similar software on MaxBin bins to find out the taxonomy of each bin after the binning process is finished. The most current version is 2.2.7. MaxBin was published on Microbiome journal (2:26)! Please cite the Microbiome paper if you use MaxBin in your work.
