• optimized to work with vast amount of data and very large file sets (~ 10,000 - 100,000).
• allows the selective retrieval of only the required files (file masks, ls-lR parsing, recursive search, updates)
• has a built-in repository containing the settings for the most common bioinformatics download needs
• built-in wizard for batch post-processing of downloaded files (archive extraction, file conversion, etc.)
• capable of performing multiple download or update tasks simultaneously

BioDownloader has a built-in repository containing the settings for common bioinformatics file-synchronization needs, including the Protein Data Bank (PDB) and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) databases. It can post-process downloaded files, including archive extraction and file conversions.

Samtools

Reading/writing/editing/indexing/viewing SAM/BAM/CRAM format

BCFtools

Reading/writing BCF2/VCF/gVCF files and calling/filtering/summarising SNP and short indel sequence variants

HTSlib

A C library for reading/writing high-throughput sequencing data

Samtools and BCFtools both use HTSlib internally, but these source packages contain their own copies of htslib so they can be built independently.

Our long-term research objective is to understand microtubule organization in living cells, with an emphasis on mitosis. We develop in-vitro assays, quantitative image analysis and cytosim, a computer simulation to study cellular architecture from a mechanistic angle, modeling the interactions of microtubules and related proteins such as molecular motors. In the past, we combined simulations and experiments to study microtubule self-organization, and the mechanical stability of two interacting asters. More recently, we looked at the focusing of mitotic fibers, the formation of antiparallel arrays of microtubules in fission yeast and the spindle positionning in C. elegans.
We are supported by BioMS, an initiative in Systems Biology, and involved in Cell networks.
