The Free DELTA Project is a free, open-source, software alternative for a generic system to the processing of taxonomic descriptions based on the DELTA (DEscription Language for TAxonomy) format.

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/

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.

An open source framework for LC-MS based proteomics and metabolomics. OpenMS offers data structures and algorithms for the processing of mass spectrometry data. The library is written in C++. Our source code and wiki lives on GitHub (https://github.com/OpenMS/OpenMS).

Working hardware has been built and is in a late beta stage. Software is also available.

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.

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.

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.

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

Fast and efficient 3D pharmacophore search developed by the Camacho Lab (http://smoothdock.ccbb.pitt.edu) at the University of Pittsburgh. Source code is available through the svn repository.

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.

CaspLab - Comet Assay Software Project Lab is a cross-platform image analysis software to measure level of DNA damage in SCGE (Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis) method called also comet assay method.

Bioinformatics pipeline for discovery of genetic variants from NGS reads.

ProteoWizard development moved to GitHub in 2018. The ProteoWizard Library is a set of software libraries and tools for rapid development of proteomics data analysis software. The libraries are cross-platform and built from the ground up using modern C++ techniques.

An innovative GWAS procedure for studies on germplasm population and plant breeding

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.

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.

This project, initially developed at University College London, contains programs to perform rigid, affine and non-linear registration of nifti or analyse images. Two versions of the algorithms are included, a CPU- and a GPU- (using CUDA) based implementation.

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.

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

IBD on the Web is a statistical resource for analyzing the relationship between genetic and geographic distance using mantel testing, bootstrapping, and reduced major axis regression.
