Jmol
An interactive viewer for three-dimensional chemical structures.
Over 1,000,000 page views per month. Jmol/JSmol is a molecular viewer for 3D chemical structures that runs in four independent modes: an HTML5-only web application utilizing jQuery, a Java applet, a stand-alone Java program (Jmol.jar), and a "headless" server-side component (JmolData.jar). Jmol can read many file types, including PDB, CIF, SDF, MOL, PyMOL PSE files, and Spartan files, as well as output from Gaussian, GAMESS, MOPAC, VASP, CRYSTAL, CASTEP, QuantumEspresso, VMD, and many other quantum chemistry programs. Files can be transferred directly from several databases, including RCSB, EDS, NCI, PubChem, and MaterialsProject. Multiple files can be loaded and compared. A rich scripting language and a well-developed web API allow easy customization of the user interface. Features include interactive animation and linear morphing. Jmol interfaces well with JSpecView for spectroscopy, JSME for 2D->3D conversion, POV-Ray for images, and CAD programs for 3D printing (VRML export). -

Bowtie 2
A fast and sensitive gapped read aligner
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. -

Open Drug Discovery Toolkit (ODDT)
Modular and comprehensive toolkit for use in cheminformatics
Open Drug Discovery Toolkit (ODDT) is modular and comprehensive toolkit for use in cheminformatics, molecular modeling etc. ODDT is written in Python, and makes extensive use of Numpy/Scipy. You can use any supported toolkit united under common API (for reference see Pybel or Cinfony). All methods and software based on Pybel/Cinfony should be drop-in compatible with ODDT toolkits. In contrast to its predecessors, which were aimed to have minimalistic API, ODDT introduces extended methods and additional handles. These extensions allow to use of toolkits at all its grace and some features may be backported from others to introduce missing functionalities. Most important and handy property of Molecule in ODDT are Numpy dictionaries containing most properties of supplied molecule. Some of them are straightforward, other require some calculation, ie. atom features. Dictionaries are provided for major entities of molecules. -

kallisto
Near-optimal RNA-Seq quantification
kallisto is a program for near-optimal quantification of transcript abundances from RNA-Seq data, or more generally of target sequences using high-throughput sequencing reads. It is based on the idea of using pseudoalignment to quickly determine reads and targets’ compatibility, with no need for alignment. According to benchmarks done on a Mac desktop computer, kallisto can quantify 30 million human bulk RNA-seq reads in less than 3 minutes with just the read sequences and a transcriptome index, that in itself can take more than 10 minutes to build. And since it uses pseudoalignment, it is robust to errors in the reads and preserves the key information needed for quantification. This makes kallisto not only fast but highly accurate as well. In many benchmarks, it even greatly outperforms existing tools. -

CPAT
RNA coding potential assessment tool
Using RNA-seq, tens of thousands of novel transcripts and isoforms have been identified (Djebali, et al Nature, 2012 , Carbili et al, Gene & Development, 2011) The discovery of these hidden transcriptome rejuvenate the need of distinguishing coding and noncoding RNA. However, Most previous coding potential prediction methods heavily rely on alignment, either pairwise alignment to search for protein evidence or multiple alignments to calculate phylogenetic conservation score (such as CPC , PhyloCSF and RNACode ). This is because most previously identified transcripts including protein coding RNA and short, housekeeping/regulatory RNAs such as snRNAs, snoRNA and tRNA are highly conserved. While still very useful, these approaches have several limitations: Most lncRNAs are less conserved and tend to be lineage specific which greatly limit the discrimination power of alignment-based methods. For example, of 550 lncRNAs detected from zebrafish, only 29 of them had detectable sequence -
