samstat.sourceforge.net - SAMStat is an efficient C program to quickly display statistics of large sequence files from next generation sequencing projects. When applied to SAM/BAM files all statistics are reported for unmapped, poorly and accurately mapped reads...

msaprobs.sourceforge.net - MSAProbs is a well-established state-of-the-art multiple sequence alignment algorithm for protein sequences. The design of MSAProbs is based on a combination of pair hidden Markov models and partition functions to calculate posterior...

github.com - The ability to generate massive amounts of sequencing data continues to overwhelm the processing capacity of existing algorithms and compute infrastructures. In this work, we explore the use of hardware/software co-design and hardware acceleration...

github.com - AccessSyRI: finding genomic rearrangements andlocal sequence differences from whole-genome assemblies SyRI, a pairwise whole-genome comparison tool for chromosome-level assemblies. SyRI starts by finding rearranged regions and then searches for...

github.com - MMseqs2 (Many-against-Many sequence searching) is a software suite to search and cluster huge protein and nucleotide sequence sets. MMseqs2 is open source GPL-licensed software implemented in C++ for Linux, MacOS, and (as beta version, via cygwin)...

github.com - ContigExtender, was developed to extend contigs, complementing de novo assembly. ContigExtender employs a novel recursive Overlap Layout Candidates (r-OLC) strategy that explores multiple extending paths to achieve longer and highly accurate...

compbio.case.edu - Seal is a comprehensive sequencing simulation and alignment tool evaluation suite. This software (implemented in Java) provides several utilities that can be used to evaluate alignment algorithms, including: Reading a pre-existing reference...

Creators of software widely used in computational biology discuss the factors that contributed to their success

www.gigasciencejournal.com - Bioinformatics software varies greatly in quality. In terms of usability, the command line interface is the first experience a user will have of a tool. Unfortunately, this is often also the last time a tool will be used. Here I present ten...
