JOELib/JOELib2 is a cheminformatics library which supports SMARTS substructure search, descriptor calculation, processing/filtering pipes, conversion of file formats, 100% pure Java, and interfaces to external programs (e.g. Ghemical) are available.

The JChemPaint Applet and Swing Application are Java programs for drawing 2D chemical structures like those found in most chemistry textbooks. It is based on the Chemistry Development Kit (cdk.sf.net). Downloads, tracker, and source code repository can be found on https://jchempaint.github.io

Microarray Explorer (MAExplorer) is a Java microarray data-mining bioinformatics program. It includes data management, graphics, statistics, clustering, reports, gene data-filtering, user written MAEPlugins, documentation, tutorials, demo data.

ABE is a small, fast and convenient program for visualizing and modeling experimental bioassay data. The data can be modeled using either polynomials or a more specific four-parameter model based upon the standard, sigmoidal dose-response curve.

DBSolveOptimum is a stand-alone software tool for the construction and analysis of mathematical models of biological systems. It is a succession and extension of DBSolve 5 and DBSolve 7, which were popular tools for systems biology. In addition to the capabilities of these software packages, DBSolveOptimum is implemented with new tools for extended data analysis and multiple simulations, which are important for simulation of virtual clinical trials and application of modern modeling techniques, like quantitative systems pharmacology, to problems arising in drug research and development. By this time, DBSolveOptimum has been successfully tested and applied for the development and analysis of both systems pharmacology and conventional PK/PD models of drugs. It is free for academic and industrial use. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20698988

ORFer reads the NCBI GenBank XML sequence format and extracts open reading frames for proteins. Sequences can be requested by GI or accession number. ORFprimer is an extended software package for high throughput PCR primer design for biological sequences

The PUMA Repository is a collection of Pascal units for medical informatics. It contains reusable source code for a wide field of health-care application development. The code includes a support engine for the European Data Format (EDF and EDF+), converting functions for units of measurement and an HL7 engine. PUMA is compatible with Lazarus and Free Pascal. Some of the units also support other Pascal implementations including Delphi, winsoft Pocket Studio and other compilers.

ProtoMol is an object-oriented component based framework for molecular dynamics simulations.

Main application is twofold: first to convert genotype SNP data into formats of different imputation tools like PLINK MACH, IMPUTE, BEAGLE and BIMBBAM, second to transform imputed data into different file formats like PLINK, HAPLOVIEW, EIGENSOFT and SNPTEST. Readable file formats: plink-pedigree (ped and map), plink-raw, plink-dosage, mach , minimac, impute, snptest, beagle and bimbam. Similarly all kinds of imputation of outputs are also accepted. Formats which can be generated by fcGENE: plink-pedigree, plink-raw, plink-dosage, mach-inputs, minimac-inputs, impute-inputs, beagle-inputs and bimbam-inputs, HAPLOVIEW-inputs, EIGENSOFT-inputs. Further application: -obtaining templates of necessary imputation commands and commands of other imputation tool - Quality control according as MAF,HWE & CALLRATE. key words: genotype transformation, convert genotype format, imputation output, PLINK, IMPUTE, MACH, minimac, HAPLOVIEW, BEAGLE, BIMBAM,EIGENSOFT.

This package provides high-level interface utilities for MCMC models via Just Another Gibbs Sampler (JAGS), facilitating the use of parallel (or distributed) processors for multiple chains, automated control of convergence and sample length diagnostics, and evaluation of the performance of a model using drop-k validation or against simulated data. Template model specifications can be generated using a standard lme4-style formula interface to assist users less familiar with the BUGS syntax. A JAGS extension module provides additional distributions including the Pareto family of distributions, the DuMouchel prior and the half-Cauchy prior.

Sampsize computes sample size and power for surveys, comparative studies including non-inferiority trials and case-control studies.

AgED performs automatic feature extraction from your image data and allows for their visualization and management. AgED relies on Elliptic Fourier Transcriptors to extract features from large quantities of image data. These features can then be visualized and you can evaluate them in a statistical manner. This type of analysis is particularly worthwile in the assessment of biological experiments. Elliptic Fourier Descriptors have been applied in a large range of applications in biology. Examples include the distinguishing of leaf shapes, fish sex, organ size and so forth. AgED is intended for scientific use only. Use and distribution of this technology is subject to the Java Research License included herein. AgED comes with absolutely no warranty.
