Open Source Perl Bio-Informatics Software

SAM (Sequence Alignment/Map) is a flexible generic format for storing nucleotide sequence alignment. SAMtools provide efficient utilities on manipulating alignments in the SAM format. The main samtools source code repository moved to GitHub in March 2012. For ongoing development since then, see http://github.com/samtools/samtools

The Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) is an XML-based description language for representing computational models in systems biology. Visit the project web site to learn more.

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.

Design PCR primers from DNA sequence. Widely used (190k Google hits for "primer3"). From mispriming libraries to sequence quality data to the generation of internal oligos, primer3 does it. C&perl. Developers/testers/documenters needed.

MUMmer is a modular system for the rapid whole genome alignment of finished or draft sequence. This package provides an efficient suffix tree library, seed-and-extend alignment, SNP detection, repeat detection, and visualization tools.

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.

PerlPrimer is a GUI application written in Perl that designs primers for standard PCR, bisulphite PCR and Real-time PCR (QPCR). It aims to automate and simplify the process of primer design.

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.

HaploPainter - a pedigree and haplotypes drawing tool written in Perl/Tk. The software processes pedigree information in standard linkage formats combining haplotype information outputs from Simwalk, Genehunter, Allegro and Merlin.

Integrated Hospital Information System. PHP,mySQL,PostgreSQL. Surgery, Nursing,Outpatient,Wards,Labs, Pharmacy, Security,Admission,Schedulers, Repair, Communication & more. Multilanguage, WYSIWYG forms, userconfig, embedded workbots. Modular & scalab

VCAKE is a genetic sequence assembler capable of assembling millions of small nucleotide reads even in the presence of sequencing error. This software is currently geared towards de novo assembly of Illumina's Solexa Sequencing data.

proTRAC detects genomic piRNA clusters. It considers all the relevant features of mapped sequence reads like the amount of 1U/10A, size and strand bias to ensure a high specificity.

Microarray Gene Expression Database Group and OMG Gene Expression Standard (MAGE)

Maq is a set of programs that map and assemble fixed-length Solexa/SOLiD reads in a fast and accurate way.

Bioinformatics pipeline for discovery of genetic variants from NGS reads.

GPL-licensed Electronic Medical Record and Practice Management system for medical providers that runs in any web browser in multiple languages. It provides an XML-RPC backend and multiple import and export formats, as well as reporting and other features

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.

The DeconSeq tool can be used to automatically detect and efficiently remove sequence contamination from genomic and metagenomic datasets. It is easily configurable and provides a user-friendly interface. More at http://deconseq.sourceforge.net

MitoSAlt is a pipeline to identify large deletions and duplications in human and mouse mitochondrial genomes from next generation whole genome/exome sequencing data. The pipeline is capable of analyzing any circular genome in principle, as long as a proper configuration file is provided.

FragGeneScan is an application for finding (fragmented) genes in short reads. It can also be applied to predict prokaryotic genes in incomplete assemblies or complete genomes. FragGeneScan was first released through omics website (http://omics.informatics.indiana.edu/FragGeneScan/) in March 2010, where you can find its old releases. FragGeneScan migrated to SourceForge in October, 2013.

A bioinformatics tool to PRe-process and show INformation of SEQuence data. The tool is written in Perl and can be helpful if you want to filter, reformat, or trim your sequence data. It also generates basic statistics for your sequences.

The NGS TOOLBOX is a collection of simple open source Perl scripts that perform basic analyses and processing steps using next generation sequencing (NGS) datasets. Each tool is designed to ensure convenient and intuitive usage. Installation and usage does not require any bioinformatics skills. All scripts work out-of-the-box. Advanced users may use the command line based Perl scripts to build automated sequence analyses/processing pipelines. If you use the NGS TOOLBOX you for publication purposes you can cite the following methods paper: Rosenkranz D, Han CT, Roovers EF, Zischler H, Ketting RF.
