http://www.molecularevolution.org/software/genomics/velvet
THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on February 28,2023. Software package as de novo genomic assembler for short read sequencing technologies using de Bruijn graphs. Takes in short read sequences, removes errors, then produces high quality unique contigs, retrieves repeated areas between contigs. Can leverage very short reads in combination with read pairs to produce useful assemblies. Operating system Unix/Linux., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

https://ukoethe.github.io/vigra/
Software image processing and analysis library that puts its main emphasis on customizable algorithms and data structures. VIGRA is especially strong for multi-dimensional images. By using template techniques similar to those in the C++ Standard Template Library, you can easily adapt any VIGRA component to the needs of your application, without thereby giving up execution speed. As of version 1.7.1, VIGRA also provides extensive Python bindings on the basis of the popular numpy framework.
