CSBB-v1.0

Neel — Wed, 29 Jun 2016 07:33:05 -0500

CSBB is a command line based bioinformatics suite to analyze biological data acquired through varied avenues of biological experiments. CSBB is implemented in Perl, while it also leverages the use of R and python in background for specific modules. Major focus of CSBB is to allow users from biology and bioinformatics community, to get benefited by performing down-stream analysis tasks while eliminating the need to write programming code. CSBB is currently available on Linux, UNIX, MAC OS and Windows platforms.

Currently CSBB provides 13 modules focused on analytical tasks like performing upper-quantile normalization on expression data or convert genome wide gene expression to z-scores when comparing expression data from different platforms.

The Raku Programming Language

Jit — Tue, 28 Jan 2020 05:37:17 -0600

Raku is a member of the Perl family of programming languages. Formerly known as Perl 6, it was renamed in October 2019. Raku introduces elements of many modern and historical languages. Compatibility with Perl was not a goal, though a compatibility mode is part of the specification.

Which of the following programming language is best for a bioinformatics beginner?

Manisha Mishra — Thu, 04 Sep 2014 07:51:16 -0500

I will be doing NGS in the course of my research work and I will like to learn a programming language which is compatible with most bioinformatics tools or software. I basically want to do de-novo assembly, map reads, align reads, and expression analysis. Recommendations welcomed. Which languages would you recommend to a student wishing to enter the world of bioinformatics?

irishgrid: Irish Grid Mapping System

Jit — Fri, 26 Dec 2014 07:53:24 -0600

Perl module for creating geographic 10km-square maps using either SVG or PNG (with GD library) output format.

Originally design to map the location of objects in a 10 km map IrishGrid includes:

native support of the Irish Grid System (see http://www.osi.ie/)
optimize for speed (there's as less as possible data to conversion)
customized color functions

methylKit

Jit — Fri, 03 Jun 2016 10:09:29 -0500

methylKit is an R package for DNA methylation analysis and annotation from high-throughput bisulfite sequencing. The package is designed to deal with sequencing data from RRBS and its variants, but also target-capture methods such as Agilent SureSelect methyl-seq. In addition, methylKit can deal with base-pair resolution data for 5hmC obtained from Tab-seq or oxBS-seq. It can also handle whole-genome bisulfite sequencing data if proper input format is provided.
