A set of tools for working with VCF files, such as those generated by the 1000 Genomes Project. This project is migrating to github: https://vcftools.github.io/

A fully developed set of DNA sequence assembly (Gap4 and Gap5), editing and analysis tools (Spin) for Unix, Linux, MacOSX and MS Windows.

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

AMOS is a collection of tools and class interfaces for the assembly of DNA reads. The package includes a robust infrastructure, modular assembly pipelines, and tools for overlapping, consensus generation, contigging, and assembly manipulation.

QuteMol is a real time, high quality molecular visualizer that offers an array of innovative visual effects. QuteMol aims at improving the clarity of rendered images and at offering a better understanding of the molecular 3D shape and spatial structure.

BioImageXD - free open source software for analysis, processing and 3D rendering of multi dimensional, multi data channel, time series image data from microscopy and other sources.

CBFLIB is a library of ANSI-C functions providing a simple mechanism for accessing Crystallographic Binary Files (CBF files) and Image-supporting CIF (imgCIF) files. The CBFLIB API is loosely based on the CIFPARSE API for mmCIF files.

rDock is a fast and versatile Open Source docking program that can be used to dock small molecules against proteins and nucleic acids. It is designed for High Throughput Virtual Screening (HTVS) campaigns and Binding Mode prediction studies. rDock is mainly written in C++ and accessory scripts and programs are written in C++, perl or python languages. The full rDock software package requires less than 50 MB of hard disk space and it is compilable in all Linux computers. Thanks to its design and implementation, it can be installed on a computation cluster and deployed on an unlimited number of CPUs, allowing HTVS campaigns to be carried out in a matter of days. The rDock program was developed from 1998 to 2006 by the software team at RiboTargets (subsequently Vernalis (R&D) Ltd). In 2006, the software was licensed to the University of York for maintenance and distribution. In 2012, Vernalis and the University of York agreed to release the program as Open Source software.

Ordered Bijective Interpolated Warping (OBI-Warp) aligns matrices using Dynamic Time Warping with a one-to-one (bijective) smooth warp-function. It is ideal for the chromatographic alignment of complex mass spectrometry proteomics data.

Nemo is an individual-based, forward-time, genetically explicit, and stochastic simulation software designed for the study of the evolution of life history and quantitative traits, and genetic markers under various types of selection, in a spatially explicit, metapopulation framework.

Critterding is a "Petri dish" universe in 3D that demonstrates evolving artificial life. Critters start out with completely random brains and bodies, but will automatically start evolving into something with much better survival skills.

MIRA V5 is available only on GitHub! The V4 version released here on SourceForge stay up as some automated release fetching packages rely on V4. MIRA - Sequence assembler and sequence mapping for whole genome shotgun and EST / RNASeq sequencing data. Can use Sanger, 454, Illumina and IonTorrent data. PacBio: CCS and error corrected data usable, uncorrected not yet.

The Sashimi project hosts the Trans-Proteomic Pipeline (TPP), a mature suite of tools for mass-spec (MS, MS/MS) based proteomics: statistical validation, quantitation, visualization, and converters from raw MS data to the open mzML/mzXML formats.

PROVEAN (Protein Variation Effect Analyzer) is a software tool which predicts whether an amino acid substitution or indel has an impact on the biological function of a protein. The prediction is based on the change, caused by a variation, in the similarity of query sequence to closely related sequences collected through BLAST.
