FreeSEM is a free, open-source desktop application designed for researchers and students to perform Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) for statistical and research analysis. It allows users to visually build models using a drag-and-drop interface to create path diagrams and analyze relationships between observed and latent variables. The software supports methods such as exploratory factor analysis, covariance-based SEM, partial least squares SEM, and meta-SEM, and it provides model fit statistics like CFI, TLI, RMSEA, SRMR, and chi-square to evaluate models. ...

Processing of smallRNA-Seq data to gather biologically relevant information requires application of multiple statistical and bioinformatics tools from different sources, each focusing on a specific step of the analysis pipeline. The analytical workflow can be challenging for the continuous interventions by the operator, a critical factor when large numbers of datasets need to be analyzed at once. To allow a flexible and comprehensive analysis of smallRNA-Seq data we designed a novel modular pipeline, called iMir, integrating multiple open source modules and resource in an automated workflow, devising different statistical approaches to analyze data rigorously. iMir comprises also a Graphical User Interface (GUI), so that the pipeline is particularly suited for biologist and early stage bioinformaticians and produces both graphics and text outputs.
